HEllo! It's slowly getting better. My liquid intake is ok. I'm so sick of Protein Drinks..The only ones I tolerate are the Carnation Instant Breakfasts and Ensure high protein. That's IT!!!! Everything else makes me gag and I really don't need to throw up right now..SO, that's what I'm doing. I can't wait to eat something else besides broth and jello...The water and Crystal light I can handle...The discomfort around teh incisions isn't too bad...but teh gas is a whole DIFFERENT Story...WOW!!!! I spent 2 days in tears adn questioning my decision to do this... IT was soooooooo bad, but it's subsiding adn getting better...That's my only complaint so far... I'm walking again..Today I did 1.6 miles, It wore me out but the MD said that it was normal.. so little by little it's getting better...THANK GOD!!!! I've lost 7 LBS SINCE THE SURGERY!!!! A little scary but good. We'll see how it goes...I'm glad I have this site to come and talk and write and learn and maybe even teach my experiences....This too shall pass......smooches....:kiss2:
