OMG!!!!!!!!! Is there anyone on here that would like to countdown with me 12/22/14 8am. I am super excited about this and also very nervous any helpfully comments would be nice right now.

Hello everyone just checking in! I feel good for the most part, minimal pain on the left side.

I hope I'm getting in enough fluids I have no desire to drink protein.

@@lynette85 I am right there with you no I am not getting in enough fluids in

Day 4 post op~ still doing good, never posed gas until yesterday, had to use suppository. Now have gas pain. Is anyone still coughing stuff up from surgery? Other than that Im good, not all my fluids, but close. Thanking god no n/v.

I am trying hard not to dehydrated not easy

I was coughing up a lot of mucous yesterday and finally started passing gas. Lol I've never been so excited to pass gas.

What meds are y'all on? I had 4oz of protein and I felt like I was going to explode.

I'm on prilosec, levenox, usurdol, pain med. I've been able to drink pretty good, protien hot chocolate . The gas has me crippled today. I passed a little yesterday after supositiry, but none since. I feel it rolling through my gut, but ity won't exit! I've taken gasx dint see any improvement. Wonder why im not passing it, I walked around all morning, no relief. Still coughing quite a bit, when I lay down my lungs sound raspy and I can't sleep. I'm using the spirimeter.

I'm too, having a rough time. I've taking milk of magnesia and that has helped. I just realize how small my stomach must, because I'm only getting 2sips at a time. I'm just weak, but seems to be getting every better every day

I bought gas x strips to take to the hospital with me just incase the gas is bad. I've never used them before. I pray they work. I hope y'all get some relief soon.
