I had surgery 04/28.had some complications and ended up being in surgery for 9 hours. the doctor later told me that because of my anatomy surgery was a little more complicated and he didn't like how things looked when he finished up, so he basically did everything over. Because of all this I was in the hospital til 05/01 first couple of days were really hard but it really does get a little better each day ????

Man that must have worried your family half to death!!.

I'm glad it's getting better and you are home!

I had surgery the same day and am doing well.

I am sorry to hear you had complications but glad to hear you are now on the mend. Be good to yourself during recovery and keep us posted on your progress!

Dhrguru, glad to hear your recovering well, I'm still struggling with sleeping on my back(I'm a side sleeper) whenever I try to turn to my side a feel like my intestines are being pulled out. I'm also struggling with the 80 grams of protein. Currently only having 40-50 grams. But I take my multivatimin and calcium religiously every day. How are you doing with these things?

Djmohr, thanks for the support trying my best to do things the right way and trying to keep focusing on improving a day at a time.

My protein goal is 60 grams, but I'm not getting anywhere near that yet. I HATE my Protein powders with Water, and until today I couldn't have milk. So now that milk is back in my diet I will work at getting more Protein in. I haven't started my calcium yet, my doc doesn't start them till after the first post op visit. I'm getting my Vitamins, tums and others meds in fine. I'm propped up on a lot of pillows to sleep semi upright. Im a little more comfortable sleeping on my side now but use a small pillow under my stomach area to avoid that feeling of my intestines pulling. My bed looks like the queen of sheeba's with all the pillows LOL.

This morning I had cream of wheat, it was like heaven! What's weird is I made one serving (about 1.5 cups) per the instructions (made thinner per my NUT's orders), and ate just about 2oz. I used to make 2 servings and eat it all!

Congratulations! You are doing great! It does get better and I hope the worst is behind you!
