How soon after surgery did you try pizza? I'm only six weeks out so I won't be eating pizza for awhile but I was just curious when other people tried it for the first time.

Thank you everyone! ! I'm going to try the grilled cheese

I use a pill container with the days printed on top. Every Sunday I fill it up for the week. Then I set a reminder on my phone so I don't forget to take them. Good luck!

I have been craving a sandwich so bad!! Anyone else having cravings? Anyone else tried a sandwich? I know I have to be careful since my stomach is still pretty new.

I was having the same issues. Then I switched to ice cold water/drinks and my stomach handles it a lot better.

My surgery was on a Monday afternoon and I was released from hospital the next afternoon. Back to work the following monday. Everyone is different and every surgeon is different.

The colder the better for me. Room temperature does not sit well. I can tolerate hot tea though. So it's gotta be really hot or really cold. Good luck!

Still struggling with gas but not as bad as the first two days. Trying to walk as much possible. No BM yet hopefully soon though I'm kinda scared. Over all I think I'm doing pretty good. Getting my fluids in. A little short on protein but my doc said it's okay if I don't get all of it in the first week. How's everyone else doing first week post op ?

Just had my rny surgery on Monday. Everything went really well and doc discharged me yesterday. I don't have any pain at my incisions but This Gas pain is Killin me. I've been using gas x strips but they don't seem to be helping. Anyone with advice our suggestions? Please tell me this is short lived ????

Came home last night and feeling pretty good. Still pretty gassy but pushing through. How is everyone else doing ?

Congratulations! Glad to hear your surgery went great. Mine did too. I was a little uncomfotable when I woke from surgery but the pain meds kicked in pretty quik. I'm still in hospital until 6. Then I can go home. Surgery was a success!

Sooo excited!! Good luck. I'm right behind you going on at 3:15 this afternoon.

Surgery set for 3:15 today. Getting anxious and I'm soooo thirsty. Most of all I'm excited-excited to start this new journey. I'm grateful to all of those who post their experiences and give me the support and strength to keep moving forward. See ya on the post-op side ????

Sam58- It DOES get better. Drink lots of water. It helps with the hunger. I am allowed to drink decaffeinated hot tea and that really helps too. You can do it!!

Sounds like everyone is making it through. I'm on my 8th day of liquid diet. My doc requires two week on his prescribed protein drinks so 800 calories a day and 110 grams protein. I'm allowed sugar free jello and bouillon. And of course at least 64 oz water. I'm feeling good. Last week was a little rough but I made it. Just keeping my eye on the prize. I go for surgery 3/23. Good luck everyone- WE CAN DO THIS!!
