newbie surgery (5/14)

Hi, I want to reach out to any other people  *****cently  had surgery. Look for a support  network. 

Thanks!

The forums are full of people who just had surgery, and those who had surgery last month, last year, five years ago, etc. If you have a specific question and don't see it right away, use the search feature (magnifying glass at top  of page). Just keep reading -- you'll see lots of people with surgery dates near yours.  You can also check out "Community" at the top of the page and look at the surgery date info.

You should update your profile to reflect your surgery date and surgery type.

You'll get support and advice from everyone here - don't limit yourself to surgery date buddies.  Congratulations on your successful surgery -- great to have you on the Losers' Bench!

I just had surgery on 5/7. Keep posting on here, I have found there are so many people that share support, suggestions, and encouragement. 

My surgery was 5/11/15.  Sometimes I still can't believe that I am finally POST-op.  How are you feeling?  How is your post op diet going?  Getting fluids in etc... The thing I am having the hardest time with is having to have nothing to drink 30 min before or after anything to eat.  The timing is tricky for me.

Hey thanks for replying! I'm having the most trouble with the pain in my left side. I'm also getting  to the point  where I do not like the taste of my protien. I'm only required to have 40 grams this week. I don't know how I will be able to get in 60 next week.
