HI all 3/19/13/ sleever here. Gas was one of my major issues ..i walked miles in that hospital all night long. when i finally got home i slept for 2 hours . when i got up my calves were killing me. Today i can finally say i halve no calf pain. the walking does help alot. i have gone out everyday with my hubby. I get very tired but we go for a ride and the bumps in the car are a bit annoying but i think they helped with the gas a bit .. I kno this sounds ridiculouis but I figured i would share .everyime i let out gas it was like i was a child ,,i would do the happy dance ... crazy huh!!!!!!! I still have gas issues but much much less. good luck to all

I HAD DR. CALL IN A Z-PACK FOR ME ALSO TOOK VITAMIN C AND ZINC ....YOU CAN ALSO GARGLE WITH SALT WATER.. GOOD LUCK HOPE U FEEL BETTER AND ALL GOES AS PLANNED ..

GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!! YOU WILL BE FINE ... SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SURGERY BEFORE U KNO IT !!!!!!!!!! PRAYERS WITH YOU ...

Hi all i had my surgery on 3/19/13. so i am 6 days post op. its so funny how all dr. have so many diff. rules . I left the hospital to start stage 2 mushies or pureed foods. i am so concerned to get all in and its so damn hard . i have to work on my liquids but everyone is saying to me just do what i can . i have already eaten scrambled egg ,,yogurt, and i did make my GVS LASAGNA!!!!!! i used cottage cheese mixed in one egg then some sauce some shredded cheeses , a dash of garlic powder and oregano and topped with parmesean cheese. i microwaved for 3 minutes.. it smells great and tastes delicious, u just have to eat slowly... i still have to figure out how much i can eat..it does hurt a bit more with the solids,and i notice i burp more with the solids .its like my new stomach is makin the room or something. i also have to figure out when its telling me it is hungry... this is the hard part for me but hopefully its gonna get better... good luck all

sleeved on 3/19/13. had so much gas it was unbelievable but better now. my calves are killing me,,no blood clots but because i walked way to much and now when i lay down and get up i have painin my legs. It sucks was trying to do the right thing by walking and it hurt me. i only got down one protein drink and some egg today along with some powerade, looks like its gonna be a bit of a struggle to get down the 3 meals along with 64 oz of liquid a day plus protein ... any suggestions .???? also i having a hard time sleeping... cant wait till it gets better....hoping and praying. also sometimes a bit of pain when eating that sucks too.
