rsr53 1 Posted June 11, 2011 Well I made it everyone! Surgery was yesterday at 3pm. So far im extremely nauseated and have this terrible pain like right above my tummy... I guess its the gas pain??? Man its no joke... It hurts how long till that and the nausea goes??? Thank u for al ur well wishes! Fantastic! I am sending you my hugs and warm wishes for a super recovery! I was operated on 5/31 here in Phoenix. Doing swell. I never got gas, or any nausea. BUT my doctor was INSISTENT on walking on the hr and moving about.--he still is, btw! I have lost about 23 pounds overall. Just make sure you sip all liquids/shakes. Don't gulp or drink a full mouthful as that will make you swallow addition air into your system. Once you pass gas and have a soft stool, you will find all is alot better. I was weined from my pain meds pretty fast, and once that happened, walked the halls with a walker. Dr sent me home early evening on Day 3. You did great, I am sure!!! Just move and walk because it makes your recovery so much easier. You are now a Sleevah Sistah, like me!! Hoorayyyy!!!

Tamz 8 Posted June 12, 2011 Just got home today... The place where they had my tube in is very sore im worried about gettin in my Protein starting tomorrow.... And im enjoying a popsicle.. But is a popsicle over my 2oz per hr??? Ugh so many questionsssss... So if anyone can help me with this ...... If I mix my 60grms of Protein in 8oz of Water ... And just pour 2oz into a cup every other hour.. This will satisfy my protein requirements each day right??? Of course ill be getting my Water, yogurt, applesauce (2oz of all these I know).. So is this the correct approach?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ybnormal 21 Posted June 13, 2011 I know Meggie set her phone alarm at first. I never did because I slept A LOT at first and wasn't going to be up 24 hours a day to drink. My nap times definitely cut into some of my quality drinking time. My Dr. said at the minimum 38 ounces of liquids a day and I was told to drink gatorade because of diarrhea issues at first and him not wanting me to get dehydrated and lose electrolytes. I stayed with the Gatorade because Water was gross to me. I'm now 19 days out and I still can't get all my Protein in because for some reason it's really hard on my tummy and it comes back out...both ends. Not fun! I can't find one that agrees with me so I'm getting Protein any way I can right now but not close to enough. At any rate, yep, your way will work just fine and remember to include your Popsicle in with your liquids....it counts too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
