New to Group 5 days post op

justmekate · November 3, 2007

Greetings and Salutations. I'm 5 days post op. Lots of gas pain and pressure. Surviving. Honestly, couple days ago I was wondering WHAT THE HECK DID I DO TO MYSELF?

But it's a tool. I'm hoping this constant pressure will go away. Gas X is my friend and from what I read will be for awhile. My diet progression is a lot more liberal than what I've seen. 3 days clear 4 days full then puree for a week, soft for a week, then regular. I think I'm going to go slower though.

I'm 5'6" 270 lbs pre surger down 10lbs already - but that's expected eating only Water and chicken broth.

Well look forward to sharing with everyone.

Katie

Hi Katie

I'm 3 days post op and I'm feeling really sore when I get in and out of bed. Not too bad if just standing or walking. I didn't experience too much gas I don't believe... may have had some in my back. I think I drank too much at once last night so now feel like I have indigestion, so a bit worried about drinking more today. Threw up some meds at the hospital a couple of times so that is putting me off having them again today.

I have been told to have fluids for 2 weeks and mushies for 2 weeks... will probably introduce a little normal food in the last week of the mushies week. The way I'm feeling now, can't imagine eating anything but hopefully all that will change soon. Good luck on your journey! :confused:
