I can take larger sips as well as long as it's not around the time that I eat

I had one too and got it pulled today I'm 8 days out. .. it felt akward but not painful

Mine was stomach too

I work in robotics at my hospital and the swelling is usually not severe

Take 2 tabs of ducolax

And i'm jealous! I gained 8 lbs post op lost that and now 6 more... I don't know if it has to do with my all clear diet or what... but at least I'm losing

Did you gain weight after surgery?

I am as well and i'm only supposed to be sugar free clears until thursday. But today I decided to get a can of progresso tomato use about a 1/4 cup and water it down and add some beef broth to add to it. I was thinking maybe I needed a few calories too.... I feel somewhat better. I've been surviving on powerade and sugar free popsicles there's not a lot to those

If so I'm super jealous!

Progress today surgery was 5 days ago. Up until today i've pretty much only been able to drink room temp a water and nothing else because of spasms. But finally today I was feeling a bit better so I have had 2 sugar free popsicles, a 1/4 cup of jello, and a 1/4 cup of chicken broth. It was a pretty nice change. Hope all of my surgery buddies are feeling good today

Lol took me 4 days to fart... crazy how much better it makes you feel

Have you lost on your diet?

Yay!.... good luck today

Mine is still very swollen and I finally got back to my presurgery weight again today. I was 8 lbs heavier the day after surgery and I have a drain in too. Think my body is just mad at me!

Wow I'm jealous! I had to do two days of clear liquids and 2 days of bowel prep..... eventually it all looked the same going in as coming out

I'm right there with you I drank one bottle of water and some powerade and that was progress. My doctor doesn't wa t me taking in even protein shales until next week, but that may be because I had a previous stomach surgery they had to undo before my bypass and I'm high risk for leaking. I was also a Wednesday surgery and have absolutely no desire to eat right now. It's strange to go from so hungry to this

My nut gave me permission for pickles because they have sodium and no calories. . It made it so much easier and changed nothing in my weightloss... I lost 18lbs in 2 weeks. HW 270 before preop diet 243 day of surgery 225. My doc was very happy with that

I had surgery wednesday and have not felt hungry yet... it's amazing how you can go from starving to not caring about eating at all.... good luck you're almost there!

So I had surgery on Wednesday June 5th and just got home tonight. I had had a previous stomach surgery for acid reflux that they had to undo before doing my bypass. I felt awesome the first day and very sleepy. The second morning I kept pushing th pain pump but noticed it wasn't helping. My IV had infiltrated and then my pain got out of control... it took several hours to get back in shape. I passed my leak test and they discontinued my pain pump later that afternoon. After that I had an awful time getting my pain under co trol for the nexf couple of days. I am now home though and feel much better. I am only on sugar free clear liquids until next Thursday. Then I fet my drain pulled and get to start protein shakes again. I haven't been hungry at all!
