Thanks maggie. Good to be able to share. I had a coughing spell in middle of the night. Thanks for reminding me of the Spiro meter as that should help.

They gave me a nice cold pack for the swelling. Just took a pretty pill with no repercussions. Yeah.

Glad you are doing well! But sorry you are having waves of gas. My stomach and intestines are in a competitive rumbling contest.

Wow I still haven't had a whole pill yet. They are making me crush. I have to take ursodial for the gallbladder night and day and that is a big yucky pill I have to split in half. Uuugh I wish I could swallow that! You are doing great! I have a contractor coming over this afternoon... I just said to my husband - Oh God I hope I don't have gas or burps in front of this man.... lol I feel for you!

BiggiSmalls where are you! How is your stomach doing and are you still getting sick? I hope you are doing better and on the mend. Thinking of you.

My surgeon ordered me to not crush pills but I sure wanted to. It went down fine. Good luck with your contractor. I have a kitchen remodel starting monday. Bad timing but I don't have to do anything more.

Lucky duck! No crushing, I wonder why? I think I should just try and swallow that thing anyway. Its so gross. Good for you with the kitchen remodel. I think I want to see pics of that too! ;) Hope its awesome.

YOU BRAGGART! hahaha... but seriously, way to "go"!

Maggie, I tried something else for gas pain: a heating pad on my back. I do have far less pain today but I don't know if it's related to using the pad today. I saw the tip on a gallbladder post-op board. Worth trying? Maybe ok on your tummy too, as long as not on the incisions.

Pretty good now. I had a rough go at first with the pain but I'm doing better now. I'm trying to figure out when I'll return to work. How are you?

Doing good - 5 days from Tuesday. No pain in the stomach just if I drink too fast and I have found that the phrenic nerve pain in the left shoulder should you get it - is going to come and go because of the co2 in the stomach and when we drink it stretches and we get that pain again. Warm tea, warm showers and heating pads ... my new friends! ;) I hope you don't get that!

lol you are a proud pooper... I have nothing to give.... yet ;)

Another day another poop!!!

I was looking up information yesterday on Phrenic nerve pain and learned that the heat will work. It comes and goes as we drink/eat stretching our new stomach pouches and forcing the gas up. So they recommended warm tea, warm heat, etc. So my warm shower and tea did the trick. So happy I know how to deal with it now. Woop woop...

Yay, Sunshine, just three more days! And after surgery, each day gets easier.

But take the Emend anti-nausea pill, if you can. I think it made a huge difference for me.

Sunshines, don't focus on "what if" because that just creates anxiety. I am Day 3 post op and doing well. No pain in hospital because they gave me meds thru iv. That allowed me to walk a lot the first night which is important.

I have also not had any nausea. They put a patch behind my ear. I swallowed my blood pressure whole with no problems. I am having to force myself to get in liquids which is strange. Only pain I have is in my belly from incisions when I stand up or sit down. Even that is better today.

Good to know the belly pain will be a distant memory soon. I burp a lot too.

Sounds like you are well on your way to success.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
