So so so much pain. I am filled with the gas and I walk walk and walk and it's not going away. I never thought I would be in so much pain and discomfort. Today is 2nd day postop. I came home last night.

Also can only get I. About 2 sips every 30 min or so..

How are you?

they are definitely giving me some good pain meds. Last night I got a double dose and was able to sleep 2.5 hours. Giving me Dilaudid/Morphine. Still got some pretty rough heartburn/hicups but they are giving me meds for that too. Just got done walking. I have to walk a few times a day in hospital to prevent blood clots...Hardest thing is getting in and out of bed.....still haven't mastered that yet.

I am staying another night. Still have a bunch of pain getting up and down and hiccups for two hours straight. I ate broth and an ensure and so far so good. They did x-ray and no leaks....hip-hip hooray

What happened from anesthesia?

I get very nauseated with anesthesia and continually was dry heaving. Fortunately, it's a lot better today.

Was wondering how you were feeling. The gas is finally being relieved today. And, it is quite painful.

Today, I began my full liquid diet and am even able to eat Soup. That was a god-send. Trying miniature bites and sips. I am having a hard time drinking; worried about getting dehydrated though. I keep reminding myself that this is temporary.

Today is a much better day!!! It's gonna get easier from here.

@PaulDaniel....try standing on your head and drink Water while holding your breath.....hahaha just kidding! don't try that, just trying to make you smile! feel better soon!

I am 4 days out and finally the pain has eased up. I took my pain meds, walked a little and slept a lot. Each day gets better. I also finally had a bm which has allowed me to take in a little more liquid. If still in pain, hang in there it will go away. Also heating pad and laying slightly on my left side helped me with the gas.

Feeling so much better now that I'm not nauseated. Walked with the kids today, almost getting all of my fluids, feeling such great support from my family, and had the best ¼ cup of tomato basil soup from Cajun Kate's.

I must say I am feeling good today. Still taking it easy but listening to my body.

Hugs to you all.

Today I am so happy with my progress. Finally was able to hit (and bypass!) my 64oz goal for liquids and then did the numbers and realized I also me my Protein goals too. That was a nice surprise because I hadn't really been watching Proteins much. Minimal pain today. I will say I had a dream last night about getting to eat real food. An omelet. Even in the dream I felt guilty for it! So funny.
