I am a 51 year old and had the surgery a week and 3 ago. And overall I am ok just got a bad case of diarrhea this morning. I know that is part of healing not going to worry about it. The only thing had I miss is a good steak and a baked potato with a side of butter. But I am hoping that this stop my acid reflux and help my asthma. What should I ask my Doc this week at my 2 week post surgery appt. Pleas every one help me get thought this. I just started eating soft or running mash potatoes. This not eating is killing me. I do have gas pains but I walk them off. I have been off pain meds for 3 days take over the counter. Thanks again for this fourm. God Bless

At my 2 week appointment, I ask about my diet. Found out some more about the pains and twitches I was feeling. I also ask about meds I could take like gas-x and anti diarrhea meds. I still have it bad a month out of surgery. I also ask about starting a walking routine and when I could return to normal life. I had to take my pain meds until the 2 week appt. Afterwards, I was able to switch to otc. We also set an appt for a egd for may to make sure everything is still good. I pushed it with some foods and learned lessons lol.

Hope your recovery is sweet and fast :)
