CrazyJaney 775 Posted March 26, 2014 Please add me to the list. I had surgery march 12. Had a few down days after hurting myself doing too much. I just felt so good on the 8th day! Believe them when they say no lifting, no bending, and no twisting. The docs really mean it when they say walking only Wondered how you were doing! Hope it's getting better. 1 slimmac reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimmac 14 Posted March 26, 2014 Slimmac here and please add me to the list for 18 Mar. How about Spring sleeves or thin sleeves. Especially with the pounds everyone is dropping!! I used a spoon on cream of mushroom Soup. It was great having another taste besides Water, chicken broth and a bunch of fruit or berry flavors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimmac 14 Posted March 26, 2014 ChangingMeforMe,how big are the sups you are taking? In fact question for who ever wants to answer, how big are the sips you take? Are you still measuring or just drinking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaime_Boston 44 Posted March 26, 2014 Wow so I spent all day yesterday walking. Outside, inside, laps around Target and reized the gas / shoulder issue was no longer hurting! As soon as I got home and sat down, if came back with a vengeance! In addition, still a severe abdomen pain (not near incisions). Picked up gas x strips and chewable children's Tylenol ( pharmacist says it has less sugar than liquid). Here's to post op day 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you still measuring or just drinking? At day 11 I was able to take more than sips. Im day 13 today. I don't chug drinks but a mouth full of Water or Protein Drink goes down easily. 1 CrazyJaney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slimmac 14 Posted March 26, 2014 WTF it seems it is one thing after another. I guess it would just be as easy as everyone thinks if we didn't have these speed bumps. 1 MetroDetroitChic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeanne14 14 Posted March 26, 2014 It's been 2 days since surgery and I'm feeling pretty good. The worst part right now is my swollen abdomen. I don't know if it's because of the gas or the trauma of the surgery (maybe both?) but i cannot wait for it to get back to normal. I'm wondering how long that took for others? I'm doing pretty good so far getting things down. I'm drinking lots of Water, had my first Protein Shake, drank a whole bottle of the Isopure Protein drink and even a little bit of yogurt drink and applesauce. Took all my meds and Vitamins too. 1 PoohbearJohnson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
