Wow. The pain will slowly go away. Just make sure to keep walking. It really helps. And get rest. Hopefully you will be able to get home tomorrow. Glad to hear the surgery went well.

just got back from a walk. dde04 and hoping to get some sleep tonight if others around me will not be snoring I loud and then another guy just keeps yelling at the nurses

Hi Stacie. How are you doing today? We're you able to go home today? Hope you were able to get some sleep last night. Let me know how things are going. I'm doing good. One more week on puréed diet then I move up to soft foods. I really don't feel hungry at all.

hi Sarah yes I just got home. My husband and sons got me all set up in my room and they left to go do the grocery shopping. I'm feeling good finally passing gas so it's a good sign. Also,just had my first sips of Protein Shake and no issues. Tomorrow I can. Start soft foods. I did take some pain mess after getting home since it was an jour drive so I'm ready for a nap. Thanks for checking on me.

Well I'm 3 days post op. Feeling a little but more human for sure. A few gas pains bust mostly just feeling bloated and general soreness. I'm not going to lie, even though I'm not interested in eating anything, I still see certain foods and feel some slight desire to taste. I'm able to get the fluids down for the most part. Thanks to those with encouraging words. Good luck to those having their procedures done today.

I'm two days post op. I am only able to get four ounces of Water down. Does anyone have any other suggestions to help get more down

No problem. Glad you are home. Sounds like your husband and sons are taking really good care of you. I remember when I finally passed gas, it was a major relief. Good to hear that you are tolerating the Protein shake. Just remember, go slow, especially when starting new foods. Also, I've learned definitely do not eat and drink at same time especially with starting soft foods. You really want about 30 minutes between drinking and eating. Will check in with you tomorrow.

good luck. If you surgery team is anything like mine where they walk you thru what is going to happen you will do good. I like that because it helped me feel safe as they went through the procedure.
