Other than the stuff above. You may want to take a robe since you'll be walking the halls. I would ask the nurse to saline lock my iv so I could use my robe and walk comfortably. And I also bought a clip on desk fan at target for $10 ( it's with the dorm stuff). It was an incredible idea. I clipped it onto the side rail so it could blow in my face. The pain meds made me really hot. As well as when the anesthesia was wearing off and when I started drinking Water I would get nauseas... The fan helped. I also asked the nurse to leave me several alcohol pads in the room. Smelling it when you feel nauseas really helps. I would carry alcohol pads with me when I was walking the halls (started doing this after I gor nauseas walking and had to stop at a random nurse's station and ask her for some). Good luck!

We're right around the same post op time frame! I, too, get very hungry still. And I think I've said this in every post possible... I can eat more than the "3bites" everyone talks about. Definitely not nearly as much as before, but way more than 3 bites. Anyway, I feel ya! For dinner, you should maybe make yourself a one egg omelet. I have found them to be incredibly filling (and I hated eggs preop). I add a capful of milk to the eggs and it makes them fluff nicely. 1 egg, seasoning, a tiny bit of cheese, and a sauce (salsa, marinara, etc) this should fill you up and be tasty. Plus you won't feel like you're going over your calories bc of a bar that left you hungry :-(that's got to be the worst feeling. ::hug:: Follow me on instagram if you have an acct. My user name is: andry919. I'd love to buddy up since we're I similar stages. Good luck. -Andry -

Thank you! I'm going to check it out. Tea is probably much better than drinking mag citrate. I really appreciate everyone's help. -

At least you were at a gathering... I feel like I need to start seeing the therapist to work on how I deal with food and my marriage. I feel like you felt pretty much everytime my husband eats. I about died a few days ago when he was going to make 4 corn dogs. I don't want to be the food police so I know I need to learn to deal with this. -
Only? That's an incredible loss!!! You should be proud of that. Remember this is a process not an overnight fix. Just be patient and stick with it. You're doing great!

The mineral oil enema didn't seem to really help, but the mag citrate seems to be doing the trick little by little. I'm already feeling better. Still bloated, but that will pass when everything passes. -
