lineman64 2 Posted March 28, 2013 Came home from the hospital this morning. Doing fairly well with fluids and pain. Had some problems yesterday with dry heaving and hiccups but I am having a much easier time today. When everyone said with each day it gets easier hey were not kidding. Ready to move onto soft foods that's for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marbear 41 Posted March 29, 2013 Amen about the pain= no joke. Walking is the only thing that has helped me so far. Right now my guts sound like a cave full of angry bears lol. I felt a lot better today, but still sore and having those stomach spasms or whatever that hideous cramp pain is. I am SO GLAD i took this week off work. So glad.

JolieBug 82 Posted March 31, 2013 How is everyone doing??? I am well, no pain, nausea, etc. I really feel normal, except that I can't eat. I'm dealing with head hunger, but working towards a better me is winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdt210 82 Posted April 1, 2013 I feel great - what a difference a week makes! I'm doing well with liquids, etc. The gurgling takes a little getting used to. I sleep with my head elevated a bit and try not to drink anything for at least 1/2 hour before going to bed. I start full liquids today and have had no problems with nausea, vomiting, etc. So far, so good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mzkd2011 22 Posted April 1, 2013 What do u mean full liquids.... My new life began,March 25,2013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdt210 82 Posted April 1, 2013 Full liquids on my plan are strained cream or pureed Soups (no chunks), runny cream of wheat, unsweetened applesauce (not chunky), smooth, low-fat yogurt, sugar free pudding. I was able to start Protein shakes on the 28th and have been able to get 2 of them down each day (I use the pre-made Premier Protein Shakes from costco and put lots of ice in them - so I've been getting at least 60g Protein a day, which is probably why I feel so good). 1 DivaT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belama 9 Posted April 1, 2013 Only problem for me is I am not sleeping well. Boredom is high. Had Tomato juice today. That was a awesome experience. March 25 was my life change and I am already fitting into shirts that didn't quite fit a few weeks ago. Already planning a shopping trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Belama 9 Posted April 1, 2013 I am a hour from hospital. My follow up is tomorrow and spouse has to work. So no meds. I'm not in pain at all so don't really need any thing. But I am going to have to knock myself out some time. I hate late night tv. Thank goodness for Netflix. 1 DivaT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
