NEWDEANNA

I thought I'd move us over to this side where we can share stories, weight loss, concerns and just be generally supportive! So, I'm 4 days post-op and feeling really good. I was really sick post-op days 1&2 due to intestinal swelling and barium sitting in my pouch (relatively uncommon complication) but once I finally got rid the barium, things changed dramatically. Very little pain. I can lay flat on my side with a flat pillow supporting my stomach. Went for a 20 minute slow walk with my 6-year old today. No problem with Protein Shakes or broth. No nausea at all. I know many of our pre-oppers are nervous about life post-op so I wanted to encourage you! How's everyone else feeling?

I'm two weeks post op feeling good no side effects I started walking two miles yesterday But I don't know If it is the miserable winter but I feel like this is the longest two weeks of my life. Can wait till spring and no more liquid diet or Protein Shake

I switched to lactose free when I had similar problems

I had surgery on 14th and have no pain but I have no large incisions all laparoscopic just really weak
