Hey! I had my surgery on the 5th... home on the 7th... I am doing ok, a little pain in my left side, but something some Tylnol won't help! I am down 19lbs today, and will start blenderized next week, and soft foods on the 25th Good luck to everyone! -emily

Hello!! I had my surgery on the 11th and was released on the 13th. I am doing pretty well, the spot/area that bothers me most is my upper left side..not sure if it is from where the drain was, or just part of the recovery....otherwise, I am getting about my hotel slowly!! We fly back home Wednesday after my post-op appt. Tuesday!!! I have been doing Isopure to get my protein in--I know if I drink at least one glass I get 50g of protein, so I am striving to finish 2 glasses a day!! Just on liquids for 4 weeks, although my doc said I could try a bite of yogurt (if it is as low in sugar and fat as I can find I should be fine). The going to the bathroom (#2) was something I wasn't expecting...it started after I got released, but it is hard to determine if it is gas or a BM coming---LOL, I hope I'm not the only one with this issue!!! Good Luck to the rest of you!!!

Jessica, You are not the only one with the #2 issue. I was just telling someone that the things they don't tell you to have on hand for after the surgery are diapers and protective pads for the furniture. Jeanne

I am a week before you 4/3/2006.........I am 60 yrs young.......but I agree with the diaper thing .....wow what a thing to learn at my age........

Jeanne- oh my gosh you aren't kidding...I traveled out of state to have my surgery done too, and LOL, don't have an endless supply of undies!!!!

Had surgery Wednesday morning and got home this afternoon! I have been doing great! Not much pain except the gas... but after I walk I get that taken care of and all is well for another couple of hours! I am glad to be on this side of the surgery! Candice

Glad to hear from ya'll i'm so happy for all of you god bless take care . Brenda in tx ..........
