Congratulations! Looks like we both had surgery on Monday (8th). I came home yesterday. So far, I would say yesterday was my worst day. I was in a lot of pain from the gas and was extremely tired. I am also having a hard time drinking all my 60oz of liquids too. It's 8pm now, and I'm only at 29oz. I am going to try to hit 40oz before I go to bed.

How has your liquid intake been so far? What are you tolerating the best? I've been enjoying SF popsicles the most. Water is pretty good to me too, although I girgle and burp after every sip. Jello gets me full and bloated too quickly.

Well, best of luck. I am curious to see if we run into similar experiences.

Yes, Jello made me feel ill yesterday. Sticking to liquids and broth. I have popsicles but have not had one. May be tonight.

Great to see you progressing so well Chad' date=' seems all your time here is paying off. You are so aware of everything that is happening. I only wish we were all as well informed as you are.[/quote']

I feel better prepared than what I see in my local hospital support group. Thanks for your confidence.
