Whew...what a ride. Dr. Almanza's team is amazing. I have no regrets. But the gas pain is no joke. I am going to try some tea and popscicles here in a minute. Thank you all for the well wishes. Yee Haw....I am on the loser's bench.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!  My advice is to walk as much as you can.... that's the best way to relieve the gas.... Also, remember to stay hydrated... I did with water, broth, crystal lite, popsicles and jello..I had something hydrating in my mouth all day long... you don't want to end up back in the hospital for dehydration...  walk, sip, rest... repeat

 Congrats to you.. the first 7 days were the hardest for me at least. I hope that you heal well and drink lots.. Make sure you post if you need any help.. It can be really tough. You have support out here so be sure to use it.

Yay for you!!! Congrats. Remember, sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk. Get the water and fluids in and walking will help with the gas pain.
I'm so excited for you! You are in for the journey of a lifetime!

Hi Lisa!

Welcome to your new life!  Hard to do, but keep sipping -- and walking.  The gas gets better fast if you move a lot.  Happy to have you join us on the loser's bench!

Speedy recovery!
