My Journey began Sept. 28th, 2016

[Emuts 18]

I'm so excited. My surgery process has been painless. The only thing I can complain about is gas. Wow, so much gas. My bypass was under 2 hrs. By the time I woke up I didn't even have a tube in. Happy for that. I did have a Foley which was taken out yersterday. Still do have the drainage, which isn't draining much. I've been walking without pain. My doctor prefers 2 days no food or liquid until he orders that barium test to check for leaks. That Barium is very nasty, thank God it was only like 3 sips. I was brought some broth after that and some Liquid Protein. I've been able to tolerate. I take a sip every 15 minutes. Hopefully I go home today. It's gonna be difficult but I will get thru this. So will you guys. We got this!!! Good luck!!!

The gas is horrible for most. Walking helps big time!!! I have used Papaya Enzymes they really help with the gas and aid in digestion. I buy them at Walmart for less tthan $5.00. In fact I got them yesterday for a liittle over 3.00. They have saved me so many times.

Something to help with your potty issues. Take some dried prunes cover with Water and steep them then eat 2 or 3 of them and sip some of the prune juice. You will go potty for sure!!

@@shedo82773 Thanx I'm gonna try that. Today I ninja'd the premiere shake with papaya chunks. Big mistake, haven't even been able to drink Water after that.

If you want to try something besides the pill form, my mom for ears used dried papaya. She said it worked for her!! Yuk on the papaya chunks!! I'm not fond of fresh papaya. Just take the pill form and chew them up works every time!!
