Day 2 post op

By tesa

Day 2 and doing well. Trying not to take so much of the pain meds, and it feels good to feel "alive" again and not sleepy all the time. I am walking around pretty well and feel good. The port cite is still really sore, really sore. My stomach is making some crazy loud rumbles down there. I don't know if I am hungry and don't feel it or if it's gasses movin' around. It's so weird. I can't wait to have a spoonful of regular food. Three weeks now on the liquid protein and water diet and it pretty much still sucks as day one. I just want to taste food again. I couldn't sleep last night so I subscribed to some light and healthy cooking magazines to help the new journey begin a little easier when it's time.

Off to enjoy the rest of the day with the fam. Hope all is well with everyone else.

    Congrats of having the surgery and doing well. My surgery is tomorrow. I am so excited. But you are not alone - most people here have complained about the port site being the one place that really hurt afterwards. I am expecting that. I only had to do 7 days full liquids and today was clear. After the surgery 2 weeks of liquids and then mushy. I can't wait to use a fork, too.

    Best of luck and keep posting so we know how you are doing and what we, those of us not yet banded, know what to exped.
