So I had first post op yesterday. Down 32.9 pounds. They also took me off most of my diabetes meds and BP med. Still struggling with protein shakes but smooth food has been no problem. Nutritionist said I can start soft food next week. I have realized this is a day to day process some days good some bad and some a combination. Mostly and mind over matter thing. Hang in there everyone our health and families are worth it!

I just got the ok for smooth food. Had a 1/4 cup of cottage cheese that was wonderful. Been pretty active and pain free. Looking forward to going back to work on Monday. I hope everyone else is doing well!

Hi Niners! I had my surgery on the 9th also. Gas pains boy was I not prepared for that! I was hating life until one giant fart on Wednesday afternoon. I swear I could feel my insides rearrange! Pain has been very managable but the smell of any of my protein makes me want to get sick. I can get most of my fluid but not the protein. Hoping that will get better after follow up next week. Good luck to everyone! CB
