How are you feeling today

Was up ALL night! The pain is gone, I'm guessing it was gas from what I read. Took gas x like crazy, and its better. Gonna stick to liquids today, cuz I threw up everything I ate yesterday. How are you?? Is your pain still there?

Buy a cheap skinny band that is kinda tight for you and use it to keep your ring on. That is what I do.

Thanks. Definately feeling better! Am fighting to stay awake, since I didn't sleep last night. Don't want a repeat! It was horrible! Only doing pureed today, had 2 shakes and some Soup. Stayed down!

To right my husband decided to fry chicken that I left out to bake. I have no clue why he does this? He knows I can't eat it, bit started cooking before I got off work. Sometimes it feels like o am completely alone in this struggle. Sucks!!

Thank u Janice! I hope u start feeling better soon as well. You are totally right about the vomiting happening so fast!! Water aerobics would be great and I hope u can return soon. Most of my incisions are healed except one which still has a stubborn scab.

Saltine crackers are my friend right now. I have managed to keep about a tbsp on food down tonight but I'm thinking of just taking Protein Shakes and cheese sticks to work as I'm starting at a new location of my job and nobody knows me and I don't feel like having to explain being sick. Thanks for your support and I'm here also if u ever need to email. I'm learning this forum and app and still trying to navigate as well..

Nice to hear from you! I called the drs. office today to advance to stage 5. Told nurse about the vomiting. She said to go back to stage 3. pureed foods. Tonight for dinner I had one cheese stick and one slice of turkey coldcut, and vomitted that up minutes after. I've only had about 235 calories today! The nurse said she suspects my stomach hasn't healed yet and to stick to the foods in Stage 3. I see the doctor tomorrow afternoon for my one month follow up, so I hope he has some more advice. I didn't think I could eat saltine crackers, but I will try them. I have a bag of mini saltines that you can sprinkle on Soup. They might go down well. I don't feel hungry, but I am very fatigued so I suspect I need to eat more. I plan on taking only the easily digestible foods to work, like you, because I don't want to get sick at work. Hopefully, things will improve with time. Take care!
