feeling okay

[ivyh 96]

I had my surgery Tuesday and I'm feeling almost normal. I'm just not sure about my eating and drinking, I'm not thirsty or hungry but I am eating and drinking what I can. Any advice on what I should be trying to do to get more food and drink down?

Are you eating solid foods already??

[ivyh 96]

No just my liquid diet but it's really hard because im not hungry.

When you drink, do you feel like you are pushing down air? I had my surgery Monday..and I still have so much gas!

The gas really isn't bad I have been walking a lot and using a heating pad.

Gas has been the only problem for me. I am on liquids also and feel that every time I drink, I'm filling up with air again! It's so painful!

Just keep sipping ... You need those fluids. Welcome to the other side!!

I can't stand this gas! I certainly feel like Im filling up with air also! I just got off the phone with my doctor, they said it's normal, and walk more, but I walk my dog all day, and still pain!

The gas pressure is normal. My gas x stips helps with that though. For the 1st week my doctor told me to just make sure I was getting enough Water in- sip all day long- 2 oz ever 15 min - set a timer if I had to. The last thing you want is to get dehydrated- that will only cause you more pain and nausea- I went there and it was horrible. You will get to the place it is easier and then you can concentrate more on your Protein Shakes.< /p>

My surgery was Tuesday. I just got home now. My gas pain is starting. My dr. said when I drink my 3-4 oz I shouldn't gulp it but drink it over 15 mins. And walk. The PA said gas x is ok but not mentioned by them bc the gas is between the organs or something like that not in its usual place. But I might try a gas x bc it's not off limits. The holistic nurse gave me a chinese massage. Ask someone to massage your shoulders and run your back to get the gas moving.
