Someonefab 25 Posted October 10, 2013 Hey octsleevers' date=' my 8 day post op. Still gassy, some pain, low energy, going slow slow slow for intake. Guess broken leg may have some impact on my recovery Glad to hear we are all progressing in diff stitches. My daughter mass me laugh so hard this afternoon I was afraid I was going to pop open my staples[/quote'] Just take it easy! You don't want to bust out the stitches from laughing so hard! Lol! It's nothing wrong with having a sence of humor. It may take longer for your recovery but you will be happier all the same. 1 NorCalGirl48 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smile! 10 Posted October 10, 2013 Hi all. I'm 8 days Post Op. I can't believe its been just over a week already. I am now feeling great. I had a few extra days hospital stay due to the swelling in my stomach and nausea. I've been home since Friday. I have close to no pain ( when I first got home it felt like I did too many situps) I can't believe that I had zero gas pains! When I had my c-section, the gas pains were horrible!. I have moved onto the puree stage and it is not bad at all. Just take the bites and sips slow. I lost 20 lbs. in the month before the surgery and 17 lbs since the surgery! I'm here if you have any questions or anything. 1 NorCalGirl48 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akusah 67 Posted October 10, 2013 I completed pre admission testing and final meeting with NUT today. My doctor says no straw, I will go home with a drain, leaving the hospital on full liquids after a three day stay. Do not have to do a pre op diet, just Clear Liquids day before. Have to practice building lungs at home with a spirometer, and on morning of surgery bathe or shower and then wipe your stomach with antiseptic wipes twice (he provided packages of these). I will take lovanox shots because I had blood clots previously and take Coumadin. Can't wait for Oct. 22. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
