    Hi Kim
    You're bowels will start working soon, if they haven;t already and then your food willbe more solid until back to "Normal"/ Hopefully your pain will be adeaquately medicated and your return home soon.....Steve

    Oh Kim, I was where you are a few months ago. No food for 10 days and waiting on my damn bowels to move. I hope things happen soon and you can get sprung from the Hospital!

    Ask about TPN....liquid food!...if it gets too bad...
    I had been hospitalized for a total bowel obstruction, so I was nothing by mouth....

    I got so weak and hungry, that I asked for TPN (IV nutrition), since I was headed to chemo the following week...

    BIG, warm hugs to you, my dear!

    Hugs, Kathi

    Kim,
    Hope you are home now
    Kim,
    Hope you are home now or headed that way! I know I was in for 7 days, took that long to get the colon awake. And I was starving- kept trying to bribe my mother to bring me just ONE bite of tunafish sandwich! The first couple of days at home were not exactly fun- colon confused, kept me running to the bathroom with urgency feelings and then NOTHING. My roommate was in for colitis issues and had the surgery to get the bag- she was in and out in 3 days! I kept whining to my surgeon about how unfair that was- looking back on it, I really feel for the staff on the colorectal floor at Mayo: having to put up with me! :)
