We can do this! I just wish the diarrhea from the citrate would stop, I have to drive an hour!

Im 3 days post op and i still haven't passed gas. Dr isn't too worried about it but the gas pains are wearing me out! Any suggestions? I walk once an hour around the hospital and still nothing.

Redo

can you lay on your left side at all. if you can lay on your left side with left leg straight and right leg bent, that has helped me in past operations. A forever ago maternity nurse told me that trick, after a c-section and it has served me well...Old Broad new what she was talking about. lol

Today is crazy! I went ahead and worked today because I am going to miss my students so much!! I drank the magnesium citrate stuff and am playing the waiting game now. I think today everything set in a little more. I am nervous about everything becoming really real tomorrow. I am praying for you and everyone else that surgery and recovery goes well. I will definitely keep in touch and am so excited about all of this!!

Yes! I'm not really nervous anymore. It's weird. But I'm sure that'll all change tomorrow am! I will be praying for us tomorrow and for everyone else going thru this as well and I'll update when I can. I go in tomorrow at 10am.

3 days postop and tried baby food today and it went well. I am already on a soft diet after doing the 2 week liquid diet prior per my doctor. I am afraid to try other things on the list like cottage cheese, but I am on the soft diet for 2 weeks so I have time. Strange how I can only eat 1/2 of the baby food container and not be hungry. The liquid diet was torture I was so hungry, so now it is nice that I am not. i have to remind myself to eat most of the time. How are all my fellow postop people doing?

Thanks everyone for the prayers I deffinatly needed them my doctor said I wasn't out of the woods yet I'm still on very strict orders and only liquids for another 3 weeks not even Protein Shakes with my stomach being so fragile I can't risk it busting open again so I have broth, poweraid zero grape ((is amazing especially super cold)) & sugar free Jello and popcicles and luigis italian ice no sugar added of course ..... But ill take it they finally said I could go home because I kept having very high blood pressure from stressing because not being with my boys and husband

[TDee 12]
