Day 2 post op

Hi. I had roux en y Monday and am feeling rough at this point. I'm just working on getting at least 32 ounces H2O in as well as my protein shake. It's helped reading this website prior to surgery and I hope to find support over the next few weeks.

the first few weeks can be rough, but just hang in there....

Congrats on your recent surgery. Right now it's important to sip and rest and of course walk when you can, even if you can only walk around the house, it helps get rid of the gas (if you have some it might be causing some discomfort). Hang in there and remember it takes time to heal as this is major surgery.

Welcome to the club. It only gets better from here. Just give it a couple weeks. You'll do great. Keep us updated.

Congratulations on your journey!

Things do start looking up and right now is the most confusing time because you feel you aren't getting enough. As long as you follow your surgeons instructions, you will be fine. I found that the protein bone broths really helped me and were soothing going down during the healing phases

Mine will be Feb 19, 2021 in Toronto. Looking forward to supporting each other!! How are you now?

Good luck, I am on day 6 optifast
