Let's walk this road together.

Walking with you ....sleeved December 4th

I'm here!!!

I was sleeve on the 29th also... got to go home late afternoon on the 31st. My body dosen't like the Water or shakes...

I get gas immediately,

Another 29th sleever here. Sipping water and broth...trying to get in 40oz today. I seem to be having an allergic reaction to my hydrocodone pain med...fortunately pain is getting better.

This gas pain is about to get the best of me!!!

Got sleeved the 29th and came home yesterday. Hard to get the protein in, but doc said focus on water first, so that's what I'm doing.

December 29th sleever here! So far all has been good. Doing my best to work with my body on getting rid of gas. I'm burping a lot which is another good sign. Walking a lot in my apartment since it's too cold to walk outside. I have not been nauseous at all since leaving the hospital. Just having good mental positivity has helped me the last three days.

I get gas immediately,

I'm having a horrible time with things. Trying to figure out this full feeling. But I can't take in anything but maybe two bites of sf jello and a dip of water. I'm worried I'm gonna get dehydrated. Am I ever gonna be able to put more in?!

I was sleeved on the 29th as well. I got my appetite back a little... My stomach was growling and it wasn't gas... Well I think!

Day 5 and still fighting with the horrid gas and Nausea.. I can't drink the liquid pain medicine or the Liquid Nausea medicine

I just can't get past the taste it makes me want to hurl. I sent a text yesterday to my Doctors nurse and my doctor called

me a short time later and called me in a prescription for a nausea medicine in a pill form...I am so grateful...I didn't want to bother him on New Years Day! I wish I would have asked him for a different pain medicine but I guess I'll just tough it out and use none. I plan on

trying to drink something I can add my prilosec too and maybe that will help also...This just has been a rough few days....

I'm right there with u. I can't take much in at all. It doesn't seem to matter how long I wait in between, it still makes me sick

Has anyone found anything to put their ground-up pills in to get them down? I've tried Applesauce, and also Cream of Wheat. The pills taste awful!

I used Unjury Chicken Soup to mix pills in. I prepared it than removed about 1/2 and added pills, because

i knew there was no way I would be able to drink all of it and I didn't want to waste Medicines. Does anyone

know if we are getting enough liquid how long we can go with just a bit of protein.

Is anyone planning on returning to work on Monday? My instructions say I could (I'm an Exec Asst so almost no physical activity) but I'm finding that I need 2 naps a day. I'm trying regular Tylenol today cut it in 1/2 to see if it's the extra good stuff in the liquid meds that not only makes me red and itch but makes me loopy and sleepy.

I haven't been able to do things like read or study yet. Still scatter brained.

I will be returning on Tuesday. I'm off of all the pain meds but lose my breath from time to time from walking. I have a very stressful job that requires me to be up and down walking from meeting to meeting. I can't afford to strain myself. We must be strong women to be able to go back so soon. I've seen others who are off for weeks or months. Good luck!! ????????????????
