Hi Bonn Bonn... I'm feeling a lot better today as well, I've even fixed my hair and put on some makeup.Sounds like you went through a lot to go through this surgery and I'm so proud for you that you are recovering so well. I'm going to go have a cherry popcicle in your honor! Seems all that I can handle right now are popsicles and ice chips. Keep us posted! Hugs, Patty

Another 6'er reporting in. I came thru fine. Am sore as H-ll but that will pass. I'm glad to hear that others are fine. Shirlene W

Hello all, I am feeling so much better today but I felt like crap last night it was not good. But I know that it was major surgery so it will take time. all I can tolerate is Milk and watered down Apple Juice other than that it makes me sick just thinking about other things. I am so glad that everyone is okay. -Claudia

Hi we must be running the same schedule......I was doing better yesterday and then last night was an awful night......WOW......must be normal. I am also an open RNY, Blessings all, Katie

Hey guys... I am SO hungry, it's weird. My daily diet since I farted on Wednesday (that's when my doc stops the clear liquid diet lol) has been water, jello, protein shakes, cream of wheat, and farina... and I actually am sucking on a sugar free candy right now. Sometimes I feel like I never even had the surgery because I feel like eating pizza or something, and then I eat a little Farina and get all filled up. But I feel like I'm recovering very well. Haven't taken any oxycontin since Wednesday or Thursday. I just want to eat more, it sucks. And I get dizzy and hot when I walk too much, like in the mall. Oh well.

I have also been so hungry! I want food but even the smell of food that I used to love makes me sick! oh well, on Wednesday I have a follow-up with Dr. Korman and I can start a soft foods diet so hopefully its good. Its nice to know that I'm not the only one having minor problems and concerns Hugs to all -Claudia P. S i am so happy that Dr. Korman was able to do the surgery Laparoscopic! The incisions are so small. I feel like doing the happy dance
