January Dates

[lovealways 287]

But omg walk every two hurs day and night! I'M going to ask my surgeon about those shots because loosing sleep for such a long period of time is ridiculous! is there anything else I can do for all the gas in my stomach other than the gas x strips?

Best thing you can do for the gas is walk, walk, walk! When my sister had her surgery, she told me the walking was the only way she could relieve that feeling!

I see people are taking like 3-6 weeks off.... anyone out there been thru this before?? I recovered very quickly with two c-sections and a gallbladder removal' date=' with the gallbladder removal I was back to work in 4 days. My doc tells me 3 weeks most likely but I may feel good by 2 weeks.... I am shooting for one week as i am doing this unpaid leave from work.... am I going over board?? Surgery is this wednesday!!![/quote']

Walking does relieve the gas. All I had to is stand up and I started burping. That was my main way of passing it. However after I was home, I never got up in the middle of the night to walk.

This liquid diet stinks : / I still have another whole week to go. I'm reading alot of ur posts which helps tremendously!! I'm not in the least bit scared, medical knowledge helps I suppose but a few things I'm not excited about....mostly the catheter : / Wish me luck w/ this liquid diet this last week PLZ!! To all having ur Sx this wk my thoughts are w/ u : )

I'm on day 6 if the liquid diet. It seemed near impossible days 1-4, but day 5 and 6 seem to be better and less stomach growling. It sucks though...I had to avoid going to a family party today. I just can't allow myself to be in situations where I might be triggered to cheat. It's not worth it. It does suck though seeing everyone eat around you. I think at this stage, I would literally KILL for a cheeseburger! Lol

It sounds like we are in the same boat. when is ur Sx date? I'm avoiding stuff too...And I have 2 rough days ahead of me at wk : / My attitude is not the best, I feel like I have a BAD case of PMS!!
