Hi All, Had my surgery on the 8th. I'm doing my best to sip my Water and/or Protein drink whenever I can. Wondering if all the burping I'm doing is normal? Seems like whenever I have a couple sips, I am burping quite a bit. Also, not sure if the discomfort I feel is from too much liquid or gas or the incisions. It's not completely uncomfortable, but can feel like a cramp or gas bubble. I'm also pretty weak. Hoping that the weakness is simply from the surgery. Any thoughts?

I know what you mean, Newby23. I am keeping track of my liquid/protein intake and have no idea how I'm going to get 64 oz. in today. I'm barely working on my 2nd 16 oz. glass (decaf tea). I must be swallowing a lot of air each time I swallow! My pain is pretty minimal. I'm just so darned weak! Not sure if it's because of no food or surgery - probably both. I'm not a very patient patient!

First post here. My surgery is scheduled for Oct 8th. Just now getting excited, after a year of pushing my insurance company! I'm so busy right now, trying to get all of my ducks in a row before I am out of commission for a while. I am very interested in finding out how long folks are taking off work. Think I'll check to see if there is another thread dedicated to that topic or I'll start one!
