15 days PostOp

I'm 15 post op and feeling pretty good...just still get tired a lot. Still not sleeping very well. I feel like I've slept for hours, and it turns out it's only been about an hour. There were 2 nights last week when I was up most of the night. Just could not fall I'm on full liquids. Have one more week of that and then I start on pureed. WooHoo!! Each day gets easier. Don't have as much discomfort from the gas pains. They've subsided a lot. That chewable Gas-X sure helps though! I go for my first follow-up with my surgeon on Friday. My home scale as of today shows that I'm down 15 pounds. That's all for now! Renee

Way to go Renee! Just be sure you are sipping, walking and resting... Let us know how your follow-up goes! - DJ

Wow, sounds like your doing great. I hope everything goes great at your doctors appointment on Friday. 15 pounds is great. You have to be pretty excited. Shannon

Hi Renee, my name is Essie. I am 13 days post-op and I know how you feel. My regimen is different, I had 1 week of full liquids and now I'm on soft/pureed. One week of each although I can't even think of sticking my food in a blender. So I eat soft food and mash them very well. I guess every surgeon is different. Today I go for a check-up and remove the staples. I wish you well. Essie
