Two week follow up went well. I'm cleared to go back to work. Cleared to start purees. So send me some ideas. :-)

Yes that's normal. Take your pain meds if its unbearable pain. But it will get better.

I puréed some beef stew...wish me luck!

Try a pillow between you and the belt.

Just had my first taste of real food since surgery. An ounce of cream of potato soup...I don't know if I've ever tasted anything better! :-)

I am having this same issue. I can pretty much drink like I used to. I haven't felt any fullness or discomfort (except gas later if I have too much Protein at once). I was going to call my nut today. Plus I'm only on liquids and shakes...I imagine it will change with purees. I'm glad I'm not the only one...

No more fat girl grunting when I'm getting up from the couch....

Hi all. Surgery was Thursday, so 3 days out. I'm feeling pretty good. Gas isn't too bad. Soreness on left side is worst after I've been sitting or laying for awhile. So far no problems with Water and Protein Shakes. I'm so thankful that my recovery is much better than I anticipated. I'm so glad for all the support on this site. :-)

Hi all. I had surgery on Thursday. I was in quite a bit of pain when I woke up from the anesthesia, but that only lasted for a little while. I've been tolerating Water and glucerna in small amounts. I'm so scared to push it. I'm ready to go home but all in all I am feeling pretty good.

Hey. I'm on the way home. Feeling pretty good. Gas pain isn't that bad. I've been tolerating Water and glucerna with no problems. And Popsicles. :-)

Hi all. I go in this morning, and all of a sudden my stomach is a bundle of nerves. Those that pray, please say a little prayer for me today. Thanks!

Packing my bag for Thursday...sh!t just got real.

Hey all. I just had to post something that I am patting myself on the back for. In the past I would often turn to food during periods of high stress (haven't we all at some point?). Well today was an unusually stressful day, and I went to McDonald's. I got my son and husband some food - AND NOTHING FOR MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!' While they ate everything, I chugged my Water. It was tough, but I did it. And McDonald's was my biggest weak spot. OMG. Anyway, I guess the mindset change is in effect. I know I won't be perfect, but at least I can see the changes in myself.
