Someone help me please

Definitely call your doc if it doesn't feel too much better although it probably is one of the mentioned side affects (gas, muscles, etc).  It could also be anesthia, it tends to settle in certain body areas and make things hurt.  Hope you are feeling better soon!!!!!!

Thanks Courtney, maybe it will relieve itself soon. Penny

Penny, how are you feeling today? Any better?

I do feel better. I'm not sure why, but I do. So, maybe it was just soreness ******aybe tomorrow will be even better. If tomorrow is like today, I don't plan to call the office. We'll see how it goes. I do have a little pain in my left side but it is nothing like the last few days. Also, I've been drinking much more water.Still not close to 64 ounces though. Kay told me to have 4 ounces per hour. Do you think it is a problem if I get more water in an hour than that. Will I stretch my stomach on water? Thanks, Penny

Do you actually get that much in.  consider how many hours you actually get that in.  Probably not enough to equal the 64 ounces so your okay.  I'm glad you are feeling much better.  Every day will will get better.

2 times yesterday, I got in 8 ounces in 1 hour. Do you think that was ok.  But I still did not get in a full 64 ounces for the day. I am feeling so much better. The side pain is barely there. I'm thinking I just had gas. Did not know it could cause that much pain. Penny

Oh yes it can definitely cause that much pain.  I frequently get gas pains.  I keep mylanta on hand for those such instances.  It really does help.  I am so glad you are feeling much better.  I am also glad you are getting your water in.  How about your supplements and your protein?  How are you feeling today?  I wanted to give everyone an update tonight on how you are doing at the group meeting if that is okay with you?

Anna

Oh yes, it's fine to give an update. Kay said not to worry too much about the protein the 1st few weeks, but I am trying to drink one of the profect 26grams per day. I'm going to order some of the 42 ounces soon.And yesterday, I ate a few high protein foods (refried beans and peanut butter) I did not get in but a couple of ounces, but it is a start.   I feel a 1000 times better than when I wrote this post originally. There is just some soreness in the tummy. I'm going to try to get a more normal schedule starting today....gonna try to work from home and maybe take a short walk with Lewis when he gets home. I plan to give up the pain meds today too, if I continue to feel good. As of today, I have lost 16 pounds in 3 weeks (2 weeks on the pre-op). or 7 pounds since the day of surgery.  I wish I could attend tonight, but I don't think I'm quite ready for that. The lady that sits behind us who finally got a date, do you know when her surgery is? I can't remember.  Thanks for checking on me, hope to see you soon. Penny

Oh Penny that is so awesome to hear.   I am so happy you are feeling so much better!!!  I'll be sure to let everyone know.  I hope to see you soon too.  Maybe when you feel up to it we can meet for a chat.
