Good luck to you! My surgery was July 25. Post op day 6 and I feel 100%. My kik app user name is luckymomof2boys if youd like to swap progress photos.

Day 2 and 3 were brutal.

Day 4 improved.

Day 5 95% better

Day 6 =back to work and almost forgot I had surgery! Until I chugged 3 gulps of Water and felt it. Ugh.

Very happy it's getting better. Zero pain. I almost forgot I can't eat solid food and thought about grabbing pretzels. Then u remembered I'm only on full liquids. Puree starts tomorrow. I can't wait to taste sweet potatoes.

What have you eaten for puree stage? I'm craving a taco. Thinking of making chilli.

HI there, there are some Protein Shakes out there with close to 30 grams of Protein, if you could manage 3x day, you'd hit that goal! I know that there are also unflavored protein mixes available that you're able to add to Soups and anything else you'd be consuming. Makes it easier! Good luck 🙂[emoji169]

I only had 2 bms during my 14 day pre-op liquid diet. Day 5 post op and still nothing. But no Constipation either

Great job!

Today I weighed in 8 days post op 30 lbs lighter. I'm down 30 lbs it was empowering. I finally was cleared to walk on tredmill and ride bike at gym so I went to my gym and did a 30 minute bike ride and then had to run to the mall to buy a summer dress for my best friends engagement party in 2 weeks and I was one full size down. This is literally only ONE week post op.


I'm onto puréed foods as well and for dinner tonight I got to purée a bean chili with fat free sour cream and a little fat free Mexican cheese. My ninja made it so smooth and it was beyond delicious. My biggest incision where they removed the stomach is the only one that is sore but my doctor said that's normal.


I'm loving life!!!!! Love sharing our journeys Xo

Also driving I know my dr said two weeks but if your not on pain medication does anybody drive sooner?

Also, Barbie I am still adjusting too I'm so thankful the puree stage starts for me on Tuesday....

The one thing I'm loving right now is high Protein fat free Greek yogurt. It's my life savor right now

Wow! What a difference! Day 1 2 and 3 were painful and horrible. Finally today I'm feeling 1000x better!! I was able to eat 6 Oz Protein broth and 2 TBS Greek yogurt + a bit of Water. I'm down 20 pounds since my pre-op liquid diet. Going back to work Monday and feel like I can handle it. Whew. I was miserable for a few days.

Good luck all!

Hi Gang,
5 days post-op. Having a difficult time getting down more than 200 calories a day and maybe 10 grams of Protein. I am drinking a little Decaf. Can you guys recommend a protein powder to add to my coffee?

Surgery went well IV pain meds were great. I walked the hall 15 x while I was there. Sx at 0700 home by 4p the next day. That's when the pain started. I couldn't drink. I had this strange painful sensation of air inside me ( shoulders back etc). This was from the laproscope and a hyatia hernia repair. The pain of changing positions was unbearable. Day 4 post op today =75% improvement! I already drank 3 Oz and it's only 10am. I'm hoping to return to class on Monday.
Hw 280 (July 11)
PRE op wt 265 (14 day liquid diet)
Post op day 1 273
CW 262.

I feel the same. Day 4 post op Gs and hernia too. Bad taste. Can't drink much. Hoping this will pass.

4 days post op and just starting to feeling a little better. It seems that most of you guys fly past the first week and the surgery was easy. I could not hold liquids down day 2 at all. Day three I was much better nothing came up. One thing I did not know to except was the blood clots that can come out your nose. I did have a hernia repair along with vsg so I am not sure I that is what is taking me longer heal up. I have not been taking my pain medication but I always feel light headed. Anyone experiencing this?

Day 3 post op. I have awful cramping pain. I'm only able to drink 5oz yesterday. Today I mixed Protein Powder (50g) with 5 oz milk and it takes me ALL day to drink it. The thought of forcing myself to drink makes me naeuous. I'm weak and very tired. Took lots of oxy last night, but none today. How much do you honestly drink at this stage. My nutritionist says 64oz, but that's not even possible. Help!

Half tum- I'm day 3 post op and feel sick all the time. I have a high passion tolerance, but this is horrible. How do you get 64 Oz in? Protein Shake? I hardly can do 5oz per day and I feel sick

What kind of pain are you having and how far out are you? If it's gas pain and you're early out walking should help. If it's just painful sipping early out you kinda have to endure it for a bit but it'll get better. Are you feeling better and over doing things, you may need to rest a little more. I also would supplement liquid Tylenol between my rx pain med early on to help.

Still very painful. I'm day 2 post op. Got home yesterday. Can hardly drink only 15 MLS at a time. Full liquids start today, so I'll see how the yogurt and Protein Shake go. I feel like puking.

Hi I had my surgery on July 20th. I am quite happy. Pain has been at a minimum. A little gassy started today. I look forward to my journey. Wish all a great journey. I'm thankful we're all here to chat and encourage each other. Blessings

I'm day 2 post op. Home yesterday. I'm super painful and always nauseous. I hope it gets better tomorrow

I hope you are feeling better. Hang in there!!! Good luck on your journey [emoji4]

Thank you

Well I had my surgery yesterday. Pain was bad, but lots of diludid. I had surgery at 730am, in PACU before 11, in my room around 1pm. I was ealing by 5pm

Today I went home. Pain control was good in the hospital today, but the oral oxy does nothing for me at all. I supposed to drink 60oz today but I only made it through 15. Anything more than 1/2 Oz makes me nauseous. so it's been chicken broth and Water. Surgery made me gain 6 pounds, but mostly laprp water and IVF. The gas pain is intense. The fixed a hernia in my diaphragm and my shoulders and back are extremely painful when I lay down. Said it was from the lapro air they blow inside. 5 incisions. Only 1 hurts. And that pain is both inside and superficial. Here's to getting rid of my "fat clothes" and starting a new life.
