I do need to drink a lot of water. But the bloating feeling doesn't help lol. I think right after dinner, I need to slow it down a bit. It's been over an hour and I'm still a little on the full side, if I drink a lot of water I don't think I'll like the feeling of bloating in my stomach. I was fine in the hospital and up to Thanksgiving, I have no idea why yesterday, and today have been so slow in terms of appetite. Maybe I'm starting a flu or something and don't know it? Weird. And yes, I'm definitely having the constipation problem. Sorry to say, but my BM today was pretty damn painful. I'm taking a stool softner, but I guess I need to up the dosage and hope I get closer BM's because so far, it takes 3-4-5 days for a BM which is too long.
I hope the next week flies by and I get the staples out, and can start showering and feeling better. Then before I know it, can start swimming and I think that will help me dramatically.
Here is the X-Ray between surgeries. Check out the difference in the holes in my L2 and L3. Don't you guys just love loose hardware!?
