How much did u walk Aviva to get it out? I mean im walking but not like around the block

My pee is super clear with the water and broth. Still have bad gas I feel it moving around but doesn't come out. I had some nice burps but most my gas pain is low I tried rocking a little to work the gas put and nothing and one do anything to help aid that? Also I read pain medication binds people up and makes them constipated

Good for you with the isopure I can only have a few sips of water before I am full and don't want to continue. Im gonna look into the protein shots someone mentioned that they bought off amazon. That way I get the protein but don't have to drink a lot with it because it gets dreadful

I didn't have any gas x today and we should tell people gas x is a big no no that was something everyone on this app raved about "make sure U have gas x" so I did ... Gas x doesn't help make it flow and come out though?

I was and then I thought that might not help me release it I bought the strips... Just took a prescription antacid so hopefully something will help with bloating and gas

Me too Mariah I have gas pain still not as bad but i wish I was able to toot and burp more

Good for you.. Yes that's why u have staples I'm sure... My friend was looking into as well and when I told her I was having it done she made a consultation and is going in next week. I'm happy to have influenced her into having a healthier life!!!

Im from south jersey... I think deb was too

Great idea... Is that an app? Karen everyone is different and placements and stuff are different on everyone body maybe where they had to place your stuff was in tougher areas that needed staples for reinforcement. Idt I have to change my dressings... They are just small pieces of tape. I go back to dr sometime next week I'm sure they will change it. I have a y button ring and an incision is near it so I couldn't put ring back In and I hope it doesn't close. I have had it for like 5 years though!

I didn't have staples Karen I think just glue and tape to hold my incisions together mine are very small they said

What's Mfp

I know I feel like we are all good friends its insane lol! It's nice though to compare my feelings with everyone's because its reassuring to k ow I am normal and healing well. If I had a symptom or pain that wasn't mentioned In my paper is freak so it's nice to get everyone's input because someone's doctor might have mentioned something mine didn't. This site has been my biggest support and I view it as a true blessing.

I showered by myself and was very successful!! I think my port is on the left side but haven't go e feeling around for Anything. Ill know in a few days where it is and at this point idc what incision is what. I have enough pain and discomfort I so t want to be poking around creating more pain. We seem to all being well and I'm so proud of us. This support system is fantastic and it's comforting to see what others are doing and how you are feeling. Keep up the good work ladies.2 We are on a beautiful path.

I'm doing well girl friend! Feel way better than yesterday. Just some gas pain and pressure in chest. Thank god I was not feeling like I wanted to grow up but yesterday when I woke up I wanted someone to kill me the pain was unbearable. Today I showered exfoliated my face brushed my teeth like a champ and have been doing a lot of walking. Having had protein yet but drinking water and broth and jello... I can't wait till we all pick out our sexy Halloween costumes!!!

My belly is still puffy and my incisions are not really sore at all... Still have some gas in chest and belly but had some nice burps. I still am sleeping on my back they said try not to do side yet and uneven pressure can cause pain. I spoke to dr this morning I said still just sipping on broth and water and he said not to push protein until I'm ready. I haven't lost any weight and still have yet to fart or pass a bm.. Walked around the pool a few times and around the house and Just exfoliated my face, showered and in fresh clothes. I feel way better than I did. I still can't believe just yesterday morning I wanted to kill myself and I feel like this now... What a huge difference one day makes. I think I'm gonna try to have more broth and jello today. Hope everyone else is doing well and feeling better!

I have yet to fart or have a bm I haven't eaten much. I notice all the food moving and it's a little discomfort so I stop thank god I'm not hungry. Very little broth and sugar free jello. Also drink water. It's weird though now that I can pee alone I pee a lot and its so clear yet I'm not drinking all that much just sips.... I am happy I can pee on my own though the catheters were embarrassing and very weird.

I actually slept multiple hours! I can't wait to feel better ladies. I told most people gallbladder surgery because that requires a pre op diet similar incisions and people lose weight usually getting it out. I can't wait to be skinny I just had a dream and I was thinner in it and it wasn't a dream about me being skinny... So ready to feel good about myself... Kbush I'm a diva too hahaha even though I have a chubby belly I was and am a diva haha!!!

Good for you and his bless you that you have the strength. I am a school teacher I teach 5th grade special education. I am teaching summer school but it runs Monday to Thursday 8 to 12. I took Thursday off for surgery and Monday. Also have lesson plans for Tuesday made up just in case. I'm hoping ill feel better to go back Tuesday. There is no heavy lifting and it's only 4 hours but still I'm very sore and still have gas pain. I'm hoping by the end of the day ill feel much better. How do you feel kbush? Are you noticing lots of improvement and how are you sleeping?

I slept for three and a half hours just it up to use facilities and walk around... Boy even a few hours makes a huge difference how I feel. The heating pad is fantastic. I asked for one in the hospital but they said they didn't have any.... Yea right. I'm def going to tell my surgeon how my stay in the hospital was...awful. Hope everyone is feeling better. I keep thinking about how I will feel once school starts. Kbush aren't you the one going in vacation Monday?

This morning was god awful afternoon okay later afternoon sucked... Finally feeling like a human this heating pack is my new best friend... Didn't do ice on belly my incisions don't hurt and if anything I put heating pad on lower abdomen for the gas pain. I really hope I sleep well. I have a fan next to my lounge, ear plugs, walker, water, and gas x strips. I swear my dad set me up better than the nurses I have an insane pee story. This is what I sent to my friends father who happens to be a chiropractic surgeon at the hospital I stayed at... I also didn't see any doctors today which pissed me off only nurses and the one Aide i wanted to punch in the face she kept saying I only had 120ml of pee in my bladder cause she scanned and that I was too soon for a catheter and I was crying saying j had so much pee in me I was uncomfortable so I begged the rn and she got 450 ml out of my which is a super full bladder ... Happened twice the dumb aide refused to get the woman for the catheter both times she said I had like 125ml and they got over 400 the second time and who begs for a catheter? Wouldn't that make u think that person really has to pee.... Also asked for pain meds they said no because people get addicted I was like I got surgery yesterday ....

I took my dads Percocet and that made a huge difference instead if taking my pill at 730 I took half of my dads wasn't sick to my stomach and took the other half at 830....what a huge difference I was able to walk more which made my back feel better and was burping more. The pain medicine made a world of a difference. Also my dad pulled out a walker he used after a back surgery and that's fantastic so much easier going potty and stuff. I'm on the dining room chair now cause its straight with a heating pad on my lower back... Ill move it to my shoulders soon cause they are sore. The gas pain sucks but the pill really helped the soreness and gas pain. We moved our chaise lounge into the back family room and we are all watching george Zimmerman.. Finally some relief. I plan to take another Percocet at 12 and hopefully sleep through the night. When I pee it's very clear so I'm not dehydrated. Had a few sips of broth and water today. Also had a sugar free ice pop. About to have some jello. Eating feels weird and it doesn't hurt but it's like i feel it travel and its a little discomforting so I stop... Also this may be gross but after I pee I'm having a hard time wiping because all my gas pain is in my way lower abdomen. I been using cleenex wet wipes and can't wait to shower. Sorry I'm gross but I'm finding that to be the most difficult task.

I wish I could Fart.. Yes hiccup burp things do fee better afterward. I took a Percocet that my dad had for his back and it's such relief from these friggen Tylenol and because I had relief I could walk and work the gas pain off which has helped.... My back hurts from laying and sitting I was going to put the heating pad on that has anyone did that it experience it?

I can't even get water or broth down.. I'm still just wetting my pallet really. I couldn't imagine trying to drink protein right now

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" we all know some of our favorite foods are bad for us but in reality we know we will still eat it and that's fine... However, practice moderation and substitute healthier choices as much as possible! We can all do this. We all have made such great decisions to improve our lifestyles and remember gorging on food or going back to eating junk is not worth it! We all need to stay strong and be there for one another.. Mind over matter!!

Aviva where do you put ice
