Absolutely nothing. I would not sabotage my journey or my progress for any food or drink. Food is fuel to me; that is all.

My surgeons instructions were 600 to 800 cal for the first 6 months.

Happy to say.... 3 days post op a d feeling pretty great!
The first two days were ROUGH and the third day was no picnic....but by the 4th day, thanks be to God I feel like a million dollars!
I wanted to share some of my discomfort so you know there is light at the end of tunnel....don't despair!
1. I felt incredible gas pain and wanted to punch the nurse and doctors when they would smile and say walk walk walk... shut your face!!!
2. By the second day they gave me liquids and it felt like liquid glass going down my throat and afterwards it felt like life sucking pressure in my chest that made me bed for sweet death. I could not breath. Enter nurse... walk walk walk. SHUT YOUR FACE!
3. BY the 3rd day I was convinced that I had spent all that money in a sadistic surgery without hope. I truly wished for a painless death. My doctor came in and told me that my stitching site was very inflamed and each time that I drank... it was aggravating my incision. He also told me to rest and take a high dosage of anti inflamatory drugs.
By day 4....birds were singing once again and I felt less murdery toward the nursing staff. The inflamation had gone away and i could drink liquids, keep things down and it has been great. I'm being discharged in a few minutes.
**keep up the hope, if you are struggling remember that the pain is only temporary!!!!

It DOES get better.... don't scratch eyes out.... but have lots of thoughts of doing so...it helps lol just don't do it lol

I'm on day 3 post op and while my pain has turned to more of a tenderness in my belly, the rolling gas pains I am still having in my chest make me want to scratch someone's eyes out! I do feel much better today than surgery day and day 2 post op but getting liquids in is still tricky for me and nothing is appetizing.

I've been told it gets better each day so I am just biding my time and walking and burping, lol!!

Thank you for the hope . I'm on day 3 and can't see the light

My surgery is 5 days away.... I'm excited and nervous at the same time, I keep look at this body that I've had a love/hate relationship with since I can remember and now I see it in a whole new way. I look at it and feel it and think "wow.... I've struggled with you for so long and now, you'll be gone"
I'm scared y'all! What will it look like after, will I struggle with the "new me" will I miss myself? I keep reading horror stories about hair loss and tragic, excess skin.... is it all worth it? My primary goal for surgery is to aliviate my chronic back pain, knee pain and other body disconforts and live a healthier, active life. But, will it be like I hope it will be? I don't know and that is one scary thought
