Post-Surgery Update

Hi guys - I hope you don't mind I post about this procedure because I want to be of help to everyone. Please let me know if for any reason you'd rather not be hearing about this...so I haven't had solid food of any kind since last Monday (6 days). Tuesday was spent preparing my innards and I wasn't allowed to eat anything; Wednesday was the surgery, and I started Phase 1 (nothing but liquids) on Thursday. For the first three days I felt the restriction, but now I feel nothing, no "caution" signals, no discomfort, no fullness of any kind. I'm being very careful but I guess I am easily drinking 8 oz. within 15 minutes with no discomfort of any kind. And I'm hungry. Not overly hungry - and in fact I can't believe I'm able to do this! But do I believe for a minute I can stay on liquids until APRIL 30?? Hell no. On May 1, I start mushy foods and I hope I will feel restriction at that time. Just an update and boy, is this weird to be going through this again!!! Take care, all. Maureen

You can do this!! I am sure of it!! Funny thing I was never on liquids after my initial surgery. It is all in the Doc, I bet you start eating mushy stuff before the end of the month. Ladybug Marilyn

BTW what kind of liquids are you taking in at this point? Marilyn

Maureen, I am glad you're posting about the surgery. I know several people that are thinking about getting some kind of surgery because they are gaining. So let us know how this is working for you. Judy
