Good job with the protein!!! I'm only getting about 250-300 calories in a day.

Do you have an idea about how much food we can take in as far as ounces?

My nutri said no more than a cup per meal. So 8oz. Means u have to drink all day to get enough liquid.< /p>

Good for you with the Isopure I can only have a few sips of Water before I am full and don't want to continue. Im gonna look into the Protein Shots someone mentioned that they bought off Amazon. That way I get the Protein but don't have to drink a lot with it because it gets dreadful

U wanna keep liquids coming in tho - ward off dehydration. I sip all day long.

My pee is super clear with the Water and broth. Still have bad gas I feel it moving around but doesn't come out. I had some nice burps but most my gas pain is low I tried rocking a little to work the gas put and nothing and one do anything to help aid that? Also I read pain medication binds people up and makes them constipated

I would say no. I needed to pass gas in order to get relief from the pain. Make sure you have an ice pack and a heating pad!!!!!

[sprinkle715 87]

Where do u put heating packs and ice packs ladies?

I put the heating on my shoulder because I had gas trapped and it hurt sooooooo bad and ice on my tummy.

I agree gas x did nothing for me either. It is simethicone and suppose to break up the bubbles , but I found walking worked much better. One thing no one told me about was that I was not going to be able to put my bra on to go home. Still have not put it on as one of my incisions is right on the band line. Not sure what I will do when I go back to work on Monday. Probably a tight camisole under my shirt. So glad I have my own office !

I walk a block or so several times a day.

I have been wearing a sports bra since the night of my surgery. It has helped a lot. I just make sure the band is pulled up high enough to not touch the upper most incision. Before that my boob was pressing on the incision and causing pain.

I know this is gross but I just farted two times and I am thrilled....can't wait for this damn gas to get the heck out! Also my mom is in the process of making me some Tomato Soup and I ate one of my multi Vitamin t

gummies.< /p>

[Karen WS 78]

Sounds like heaven to me! Lol!! Enjoy your Tomato soup!!!!
