12 hours post-op!!!!!

I finally had my surgery today!!!! I feel a bit sore.  I've been able to drink water, broth and SF Popsicles. I'm going to have some tomato soup for dinner then pain meds and I'm off to bed in the recliner. I was nervous before surgery but the surgeon and staff were so awesome!! I am so excited to start my journey to a healthier me!!

Dear Denise,

Congratulations! Just follow the rules and you will do great. I remember how excited I was even though I was not able to show it. Have a lots of liquids and get some rest. The key is following the rules!

Hi, I am 9 days out from surgery. the soreness has all but gone maybe some tightness in my abdomen but all in all I feel great. So glad i did this would not go back no way! I don't even miss eating many of the terrible foods I ate before. I really enjoy my protein shakes, you will do great, just take it easy and drink drink drink or should I say sip sip sip!!!!

Good Luck!!!!

I too had my surgery on 05/31/11 at 7:30am.  I am home today and have a little bit of soreness in the abdomen area but nothing serious.  I have been drinking water, apple juice, soup, and jello.  I just started the meal replacement drink today when I got home.  I can't wait until the soreness it gone.  Good luck to you!

I'm two weeks out and feel great!  The best advice i got here was walk walk walk. It helped tremendously!

Good luck!
