Woke up from surgery June 26th and felt horrible. Walked the hospital halls and felt ill was given medication. This is day 6 and still have pain on my left side . The doctor said it was normal and it has gotten better each day. Looking forward to starting the next weeks thick liquid foods. I personally don't care for sweet stuff ,shakes and frozen pops . Looking forward to creamy soup !!! The first few days thought this wasn't worth it but now i'm down over 17 pounds !!!!
