I had surgery on a Wednesday, spent wed. And Thursday in the hospital and returned to work the following Monday! I have a desk job and had no problems! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doctor said that was normal, they stitched through 7 layers and it was healing, but also a sign that I was overdoing things! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery 3 days ago and I was freaking out, thinking what am I doing to myself!? I did this for myself and for my family, so I can do more with them and participate instead of sitting on the side lines! Everything went good except for the nausea for the first day and a half, which caused me to have another night in the hospital, but I woke up yesterday, ready to go and was able to get my liquids in and keep them down, it was like someone flipped a switch! So be excited for your new future life, and the things you're going to get to do that you couldn't before! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This Wednesday! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just broth, no creamy soup or chunks! If you use soup that has anything in it, you're supposed to strain everything out! Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know exactly what you're talking about! My surgery is Wednesday and with everything I have been through, cancer twice, chemo and 6 surgerys...this liquid diet may be the worst! I'm afraid of life after surgery, and will I ever be "normal" again or will social events and outings be too big of a hassle? I've wanted this for a long time, as I have been over weight my whole life, it's just the mental aspect of everything right now is affecting me a lot more than I thought it would!
