I just had surgery yesterday, I couldn't have anything (ice chips/water) til today after I passed the leak test.
I'm NOT hungry at all. But I'm sipping my Water and tried some Protein Powder in some Soup, had 3 sips and that was enough!

You can do it hon!
Your pre-op diet was a lot better than mine! I only got 2 Protein shakes, Water, sf jello/Popsicles and a Soup for dinner!
I agree with the above poster, you won't want to eat after surgery, but enough to make sure you're getting in your liquids and protein!
In the end it's all about how you feel!

You look great!! Super cute dress too!

My NUT said 4-6weeks, but with that, she did say nothing big or overdone!

Surgery yesterday...home today! ....sorry that was probably confusing!
-
I actually did! I was originally going to have this surgery in May, but I let the nerves get the best of me and just decided it wasn't the right time!
That being said, I just got home the hospital today, after having the surgery today!
And honestly, I wish I would not have cancelled the previous surgery! I'm glad I put my big girl panties and finally did it! Everyone's different though. Are you thinking about canceling?

You know' date=' the strange thing is, I had no gas pains at all! Very odd. Mind you, I was burping for Britain afterwards! Lol! I had the single incision procedure, I wonder if that made a difference? Answers on postcard please....:-)[/quote']
The gas pain wasn't so bad yesterday as it was today! After I passed the leak test and started sipping water...that's when it really started to effect me!
I have 5 incision sites, wish I would've been able to only have 1!
-
It does get easier, for me it did anyways.
I had the headaches also, I think from no sugar no caffeine and just plain nothing! HA!
I started seeing some lbs coming off and that got me really excited, and my energy picked up a little also!

WOOHOO! I'm a sleeved woman!!
That being said, I think I'm doing ok.
I've been up to walk 4 times already, pain medicine is working wonders and the gas pains are actually worse than the incision pains!
So far so good... just REALLY thirsty!!
