D'oh!!

Sorry about that, Pearson, I read your last post and for some reason the name Becky stuck with me!

The only excuse I can offer is that I'm at work and trying to type stealthily!

Hi Pearson. I felt not so great for about 3 days. I felt pretty good after a week and good 10 days out. The trapped gas stayed with me for awhile. I couldn't take the pain meds he gave me because they gave me BAD headaches, so I was just on meds for 2 days. I was up and walking the day after my surgery. I was staying in a hotel and I walked up and down the hall... over and over... day and night. I'm sure people thought I was nuts, but it helped. Have you started your pre-op diet yet?? Let me know how you are doing and keep asking questions and reading!! Take care!! Becky

Becky...

Ok, I think I'm going to keep 3, 7 and 10 days in mind as a benchmark--it seems to be fairly common. Would the pain meds have even helped with the gas? And I wonder if I get a headache if I can just call in and ask for a different med...

I'm reading a lot--- and it's all helping. I will start my pre-op diet tomorrow: one week on liquid Protein. I've done it before, so this doesn't worry me. Now, let's see if I'm singing the same tune in a week! I'll remember to walk, walk, walk. Thanks for checking in--its nice to hear from you. :thumbup: Pearson
