July 2023 surgery people!

[jb279 6]

Hey everyone! I had my procedure yesterday. The gas pains were horrible the first day and night, but once I started really moving around a lot, started burping/farting (sorry but it's truuuuue) I felt so much better. How is everyone else feeling? I'm taking very small sips of Protein Shake and Water, trying to be very cautiously learning my current limits without getting sick.

Hi. I just had my procedure on July 10 and have some good days and some challenging days. As each day goes by I am starting to feel better. There is some discomfort where I was cut but I am healing. I am definitely experimenting with what I can eat. My stomach can tolerate Greek yogurt but tuna fish did not go over so well. Best of luck to all that have had their surgery and upcoming surgeries.

Gas pains was definitely something I didn't expect! See if you can get a nurse to help you walk around! Walking definitely helped expedite the healing process for gas pains for me personally, by third or fourth day post-op they were gone! When you get discharged, it'll be difficult but try to set a timer to walk every 2 hrs! Helped me a ton!
