Recovering Nicely

[Fight4Light 130]

Hey everyone. I just had my surgery on the 28th and aside from a bit of pain things haven't been too bad. I don't have any after care to worry about either. My surgeon just used glue and steristrips to piece me back together. I ended up with 6 incisions (5 are about a quarter of an inch, the 6th is about an inch and a half).

Things are going good, peeing good, I actually went #2 the first time last night around 4 am. I have begun the farting process but I've never been so glad to fart.< /p>

The lortab the doctor gave me helps a lot without making me spacey so I'm greatful for that and my liquid diet is going spot on. Over the course of yesterday I had 3 oz beef stock, 3 oz chicken stock, 8 oz Protein shake with soymilk (1 scoop of protein) and another 8 oz Protein Shake with skim milk. I also had a nice sugar free Popsicle as an "after dinner dessert". I also had a couple of chewable Gummy Multi Vitamins. Never thought I could get so full off about 475 calories!

Anyway, that's all, just wanted to check in with you great people.

Sounds like you are off to a great start! Congratulations! I am a month out and doing well so far.

farting became the highlight of my day. I never thought I could ever be so happy to pass gas but it was WONDERFUL!!!

You guys are so funny but it's the absolute truth! After the surgery farting is an absolute pleasure!

Yeah lol I don't want to be vulgar but if I'm farting i know I'm healing and heading in the right direction.

I'm dying in laughter at this thread because I too have become BFF with my farts. I find it very weird that I haven't burped since surgery. I used to burp all the time and now I'm much more vocal --- just out the other side.

[Fight4Light 130]

I'm burping but it hurts to be honest.

[dionalyne 7]

Finally burped! Yay!

Awesome! I finally transitioned I soft foods.
