Three days after the procedure....

So, I had the procedure on 09/08. I feel pretty bloated/uncomfortable, but other than that, no pain right now. How long did everyone else deal with being bloated and when did you first notice weight loss? I've been nauseaous a few times, but have not been sick. Got the best sleep so far last night. The first two days, I slept off and on all day and night (for very short periods of time).

 

I never thought that chicken broth would taste so good. My sugar free popsicles are good.

 

So, I want to know why am I seeing all these commercials for food that I want to eat. OMG, that Pizza Hut commercial is making me crazy. I know I'll need to stay away from bread, so I just keep thinking about how good the toppings would taste. ...then I think about how much would I be able to eat.

 

I do have a question, if someone could answer for me. Did anyone drink milkshakes or smoothies when you were in the liquid/soft food stage?

 

I'm gonna go for now. Take care everyone.

    Congratulations! the short naps drove me crazy and I was having nightmares from keeping the tv on while I slept. Yes, i drink smoothies everyday, but the high protein smoothies. Actually, I had a yogurt shake and I did well. Remember you still need to follow your doctor's orders and continue to move around. I took some gas-x to help with the bloating and discomfort.

    I need to walk more, but it is so hot & humid outside, I don't want to go out. Maybe tonight, when it is cooler. I am walking around the house, inside, but it's not as much as if I were outside.
