2nd Day Post-Op and Needing Advise

[KINGSKID66 10]

Hey Paula,

How great you have it - mashed potatoes and carrots on the post-op diet. I know Boo probably hates you right now!!!! Dr. Ortiz is very conservative with his patients. We don't get to eat solid foods really until three weeks out. I have been living off a can of Tomato Soup with week. It has been fine. Boo is hungry and frustrated also. I can relate to wanting to have something of substance to eat. Do you plan to cook for your family for Easter? I will. If I would like to mash something up and eat it, I may. As long as I don't feel any side effects I think I'm fine.

Hey Dody,

I think the gas pains actually come from the gas that is used to inflate your stomach during the surgery, itself. I'm not certain, but I think the pains come from the gas dispersing from your body. It's not like burping and farting gas - at least it wasn't for me. Maybe some others need to weigh in on it. Come to think of it a good B or F probably would have felt good!!!
