Can't fart with confidence yet. Sorry if that's a little too graphic. I heard it way back in my NAVY days and never forgot it. LOL. Anyway, now I am dealing with blood on stool. A little alarming, but after what I went through yesterday it wasn't unexpected. I'll have to mention it next week at...

Ended up in the E.R. most of yesterday. It had been ten days since I had a bowel movement. That fact didn't concern me too much, but the past few days was painful! It felt like I had a stuck softball in there. I tried suppositories and an enema, no luck. Yes, I called my team. All I got was the...

Glad to hear you are home. They did send you home with some pain meds, didn't they? Or at least tell you what you could have? You'll notice it lessens fairly quickly over the next few days, or it has for me, and I'm hoping the same for you. Walking helps. Rest too. Don't overdo. And of course...

Sandie, whew. So glad to hear you are at home. Don't do like i have been doing and get a little energy and go nuts with it, that only knocks you down fast and hard! REST! Take care.

I'm glad this question was asked, I was wondering the same thing about PRUNE juice. The amount of sugars scared me even though prunes is the sole ingredient. I just watered it down.

Yay!! Wont be long now. Prepare for the holidays now while you still have energy. And get you house in order so it'll be easier for you to just rest and recuperate.

Thanks for the advice my friends. I'm glad I have you on my side. You guys are great!

Hi peeps. Thanks for the answers and well wishes. I don't have to give myself any injections like I've heard some people have. They did give me hepparin in the hospital but they alternated sides, and I don't have any bruising on my right. Guess I'm just weird. I have to go to to VA today for my...

I am one week post op now and feeling fine, if you call being tired and sore, fine, but hey, I'll take that over what some of you have gone through. Anyway...When I came home from the hospital I noticed a little bruising around one of the incisions. It's on my lower left belly. I could tell it...

Now that I have your attention... I am one week post op and haven't pooped yet. I've passed a lot of gas, consistently, and am down 3 pounds (although, without pooping, I'm not sure how). I am not constipated. I was given a suppository before leaving the hospital "To help move things along."...

Anyone out there know if it is ok to mix my Unjury unflavored protein powder with Knorr chicken bullion cube? It tastes real good and so far hasn't upset my tummy. Just wondering if I'll be paying for it later. Thanks.

Rhonda time will fly now for you. Make sure you've gotten all your shopping done for the holidays, you may not feel up to it for awhile after surgery. Get your house organized now too so it'll be easy for you to come home and rest.

Qaterra I haven't picked one, but I love your new avatar. Perfect!!!

Yep, relax. and best wishes for a super speedy recovery!

Me too. I just had my operation this past Wednesday. Now that I'm home, I'm making up for it!! Hang in there!

Thanks for all the well wishes, you guys are great. I have been sip sip siping (probably not as much as I should be though) and nap nap napping (probably more than I should be). I'm finding it a little rough getting the protein shakes down. Yuck! I've been doing laps around the inside of my...

Hi all. Just thought i'd check in and let you know i made it through surgery ok. I'm a little sore and a lot tired and trying to get my first protein drink down. I wish everyone well.

Hey Bama, been wondering about you. Glad you're home. How did it go?

Surgery is tomorrow. No shaving in the operational field. What EXACTLY does that mean, armpits, bikini area, legs?:rolleyes:

Whoot whoot! Good to hear ascooke.
