I could really use some support from someone who has been through this.

What do you need?

I am getting around fine but when rising from a sitting position it's uncomfortable in the lower part of my stomach. Is that normal?

Also I could use tips on puréed foods which I will start soon.

I still feel pain in belly when I get up from sitting, surgery was 10/14. I just got more liquid tylenol to help. by the end of the day I am sore from moving around. Also use hot and cold packs later in the day.

I start pureed on 10/28 and can not wait. I think I will first try a soft scrambled egg, small bites, very small bites. Maybe later, refried Beans or black Beans mashed and pureed. Protein added to the beans also.

Sometimes eggs are hard to tolerate. I tried a poached egg several times....then tried a scrambled and could not do either. I now can do a soft center fried egg....I use a non stick pan, but I had a DS and we call this a slider food. You might want to thin the beans out at first. I had to make mine nearly soupy to tolerate. It is a good Protein source and you can add cheese.

You need to get up more and move around. The longer you wait between intervals the more it will hurt. I know you don't want to hear this right now but you have to get up and move. I had my family pulling me up and down at first, then I didn't want to depend on them. Had my husband to move a wooden rocker into the livingroom that was higher and easier for me to get out of. I hurt for a good while....even thought something was wrong. Then one day I woke up and did not hurt anymore........NUT told me that it was a trial and error to find what you can eat. I didn't think I would ever get where I could eat anything. Soup became my best friend. Just remember to eat slow (use a baby spoon if possible so you will take smaller bites) and chew chew chew.

Yes I remember my stomach hurting for a while too. When I was in the hospital, my nurse told me to put a pillow on my stomach and press it lightly to your stomach. It helped with pain while moving around.
