Justin Curtis 78 Posted December 31, 2015 Reported to hospital at 530am for 730am surgery got weighted in and lost 32lbs on my pre op diet. I was way stoked to say the least. Surgery went well and I woke up with nausea and very loopy. I got to my room at noon and I instantly was up walking Laps to get this gassy feeling out. I've been doing a dozen Laps an hour and feeling really good minus a little discomfort. Pain level is around a 3-4 out of 10. Gonna go watch tv and return texts excited for tomorrow and trying Clear liquids. Cheers everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justin Curtis 78 Posted December 31, 2015 Thanks everyone. I started my clear liquids today been going nice and slow as directed. 4oz an hour with medicine cup pretty much sipping an ounce every 15min. After the first 4oz i felt a little bloated but I guess that's normal. Been walking a lot trying to get rid of this gas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WillieBradley 70 Posted December 31, 2015 Justin keep up the walking! It's probably one of the best things to help with any discomfort. The gas took a while but it will go away soon too. You are defiantly a rock star my man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
