I'm so sorry you had such a rough start.

Thank you for the encouragement. I am one week post op.

Hi April Sleevers, I had my surgery on April 13, so I am officially 1 week in and down 5 pounds. I am starting soft food tomorrow. The 3 shakes a day has been tough because I find they taste terrible (to me). Far too sweet. The shakes account for 24oz and Dr wants another 24 of water which I am able to do without difficulty. I have also tried SF popsicles and SF jello which were SO GOOD! I have been more sore than I anticipated being which curbed my walking, which probably added to my soreness. I still have pain but have been off pain meds since Saturday. I developed a bad cough and that has been very tough on my belly. All incision sites are intact though, so even though I think I'm splitting open, I guess I haven't really! I'm so excited to have a scrambled egg tomorrow. I'll let you know how it tastes!

Best of luck to you! Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life!

I'm April 13. I just joined this forum.
