hi ladies, it's melanie. the spanish girl who suffered through post-op with you. can't wait to see you all at the next support group meeting.

i'm 3 days post-op, feeling pretty good (i do have some abdominal tenderness), and i am still amazed that a sip of water and 3 crumbs stuffs me! i honestly feel reborn and i'm ready to go take on the world with a whole new outlook on life. i will write some more later - my pain meds kicked in. i love you all - mel

Glad to hear that you got through the surgery ok. It is normal to be uncomfortable for awhile. I am so glad you are so excited to start your new journey. We will be here to support you. Let us know how everything is going.

Good to hear you are doing well.  The tenderness is normal and will begin to subside soon.  It is a strange feeling to not be hungry.  Wait until you start progressing into foods and see that a tablespoon or two does you in at first - it's WILD!  :)

Keep it touch!
