Way to Lellow!

Leading the way for the rest of the August All-Stars. Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better. After reading all the posts about gas I did go out and by some Gas-X. I hope that it will help. I will also dig out my peppermint tea - thanks for the suggestion. I usually drink it during the winter, so I will have to scrounge around to find it.

Good job on the weight loss - remember post-op is for healing! I know I will be jumping on the scales too!

Each day gets better with the gas. I was able to walk 2 miles today and felt really good after the walk. I can still feel some gas but it is much better today.

Hey Lellow and Claudine! Glad to hear from you!! I agree that the gas is a pain, but nothing unbearable, just frustrating. I'm glad to hear that both of you made out well. This is going to be a great journey.

I weighed myself this morning and I'm down a pound even with my swollen belly. I weighed myself the day of surgery and it actually put 4 lbs on with the gas and liquids, so don't panic if you do gain some weight.

It's all GOOD!!! Moe

Well, the gas, for me, is almost a thing of the past now. No discomfort at all. But I'm experiencing a little bit of hunger, which my surgeon told me to expect. He's got me on smooth mushies (yoghurt, creamy low-cal Soups etc) today to combat the hunger.

I'm also walking to the shops today - about a 3 km round trip (about a mile and a bit?) to get some supplies for when I go back to work next week.

How are you lovelies doing today? Claudine and Moe?

I am doing a lot better this evening. I am doing a lot better sipping on my broth and Protein Water. I walked 2 miles today and feel that the gas is pretty much gone. I am starting to feel a little hungry tonight but I can manage. Are any of you on the full liquids yet? My doc wants me to wait a week before starting them.

How are all the August 4th bandsters doing?

[lellow 1,713]

Yep I start full liquids today. My Dr's instructions were Clear Liquids until I start feeling hunrgy (approx 5 days from date of surgery) then full liquids (and smooth mushies like yoghurt without fruit lumps) for a week then slowly introduce soft solids.

Glad to hear everybody is doing so well. It makes tomorrow morning seem a bit less stressful! Not looking forward to the gas pain! I will definitely get up and get moving.

Thanks for the updates, eases the nerves of those of us following behind you!

I agree with you! I'm getting anxious to get this done now! I'm so excited and scared spitless at the same time!

Got a call from surgery today and I meet the surgeon on Friday. Along with a bunch of tests I'll also be getting all of my instructions so that will help a lot!

Best wishes on your surgery tomorrow. Be sure to let us know when you can, how you are doing. Take care!!
