Hello everyone. I am currently at the end of day 8. Just found this site today, been a great help being able to read other people's experiences. Anyway, the first couple days were rough, i was describing how i felt by telling people that my insides "felt like scrambled eggs". It was a rough week to say the least. But a week later, relatively, i feel great. Since my diet/ pre op diet started June 2nd, i am down 37 pounds (Hardly eating anything certainly helps). I can't wait till next Wednesday when I can bump up to "lumps". I've read alot of people here move onto that after only a week. Im on the fence about trying it myself before next week, but I'm starting to get hungry and my Powerade zero and Protein shakes aren't doing it anymore.

Exactly a week after my surgery, I went back to work. I am a bartender, and worked during the day so I was the only person working so I had to cover the tables for lunch as well. I do a moderate amount of lifting, ie cases of beer and some kegs and such, plus being on my feet all day. This was the first day i actually did much more than light walking back and forth in my house. Well, it turned out, it wasn't such a good idea. It's only a 8 hour shift, but by two and a half hours in, i was sore from head to toe, and my stomach hurt again for the first time in days. That was two days ago now, and im working during the day again tomorrow, so I'm hoping tomorrow will go better.
