My surgery was on the 19th! All went well, I didn't experience any nausea or need to vomit but I did sleep most of the time and I kept a hot Water pad on my stomach and still do so that has helped with sleeping. My energy is returning but the incision where I suspect the port lies is extremely tender to the touch. My incisions are healing and clearing up too and really surprised I don't think I will have any long term scars so that's a plus. I have my first checkup on Sept 10th and I'm looking forward to that not sure when I will receive my first fill. I'm on the mushy diet part too and prefer that to all those shakes -- don't get me wrong the shakes were the bomb when I had to do liquid especially since I've never really did a liquid diet -- but having something in your mouth that has substance is a plus. I try to eat something every few hours and drink a lot of water. The no drink for an hour after I eat is driving me crazy!! I find myself staring at the clock for an hour to pass, I've always drank a lot of water so holding off for a particular time frame is hard for me. Anyway, hope everyone is doing good and continues toward their goal.

Well, it's been almost ten days. My first post-op/wound check is bright and early in the morning. I hope I get cleared to "eat" something other than thick liquid cuz I'm hungry lol

My day is fast approaching and I too feel somewhat apprehensive. Surgery date is Aug 19th and I'm on my two week liquid diet and that's been going better than I expected. I think it's because I'm not doing it for weight loss but a successful surgery outcome. I want everything to go as smooth as possible during my surgery and if going two weeks on liquids will help that I'm all for it. I'm new to this forum and blogging altogether so bare with me. I welcome any comments on how things will be for me the first couple of weeks after the procedure. So please give me any advice you can. Thanks much.
