teshadb 203 Posted May 12, 2014 I am feeling like night and day today from the day before yesterday. My breathing is betters pain is waaaay better. My white blood count has gone down. Heart rate has been going down. The put drains in which I think have helped tremendously. Getting all that Fluid out so it doesn't hurt to breathe or walk. Gonna do Clear Liquids tomorrow to see how i do. Then see what the dr thinks and maybe I can go home the next day. He just wants to be sure there are no leaks so he didn't rush getting me back on clear liquids. I'm able to walk easier today which helps too. I think it's lookin up but I'm being careful. It started from fluid in my abdominal area an the start of an abscess which can be caused by bacteria or a leak. 2 wittygirl and DarbiMolly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynn2win 142 Posted May 12, 2014 I am 5 days pre op and let me tell you ...I am still afraid that things may go wrong.....I am still in pain when I move and sometimes I worry that my staples or incisions may pop when I try to get up....I really hope you are feeling better...I got up that night and walked myself I didn't wait for the nurse or anyone to tell me...my nurse was surprised that I wanted to do it....by if your able to take GAS X they did help me plus walking a couple of times around the house a day. Good luck 1 wittygirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teshadb 203 Posted May 16, 2014 To be honest I'm not doing well. I have been sent home today and smells bother me at times I'm nauseated and I can't drink. The whole not drinking thing is freaking me out a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cherrytree15 78 Posted May 16, 2014 Teshadb sorry to hear that. Stay strong and positive. I know it's easier said then done, but at least they think you are headed in the right direction as they sent you home. That has got to be a step in the right direction. Prayers up.

Improvingme 18 Posted May 16, 2014 To be honest I'm not doing well. I have been sent home today and smells bother me at times I'm nauseated and I can't drink. The whole not drinking thing is freaking me out a little. I felt the same way when I got home. It does get better but foods and smells that never bothered me before now make me nauseated. Get well soon. 2 wittygirl and DarbiMolly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teshadb 203 Posted May 25, 2014 Here's an updated from me.... I am much better!! Nausea has been gone, I can get fluids and shakes and some soft foods in. Vitamins don't bother me. The only thing I hope gets better soon is my feeling weak. Other than that it's looking up! :-) 6 PRINCESSM, wittygirl, thesuse2000 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teshadb 203 Posted June 3, 2014 I'm feeling good. Just a little weak at times. Struggling to get fluids in still and finding puréed things that I like but day by day it gets better. 2 wittygirl and thesuse2000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlainJane 1 Posted June 4, 2014 I saw a girl talking about her surgery and she said she wish she knew to take gas-x strips with her because they really help get rid of the gas. They melt in your mouth. 1 wittygirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
