I think you posted on the wrong post..

The reason we fail is because we fail to forgive ourselves. There is not one person here that has not eaten something they aren't supposed to. If there is they will eventually do it.

You did not gain 2 pounds:-). Lol...but it's good you really care. Keep after it. You're doing great!

Thank you everyone who responded! I'm feeling much better and the scale has moved a little! Back to work and back into a routine has been good. Still feeling nauseous when I try and eat but shakes and liquids are doing the trick for now! This is definitely much harder than I ever antipciaped. Thank you for all of the support! It means so much to me!

You are just experiencing the "three week stall" that everyone goes through. Your body just went through a traumatic surgery and is concentrating more on healing at the moment than anything else. Your job right now is to meet your Protein and Water goals, and to work through your food stages. This isn't the most fun time in the journey, but it is an important time. You will feel better and better as the days and weeks go by.
When you are hungry, have a Protein Shake (or part of a protein shake). That always helped me.
Good luck!

I had my surgery Wednesday morning. Was allowed ice chips immediately. Had leak test at 6:30pm and was allowed Water immediately after. Started Protein Shakes the next morning.

Glad you're feeling great. I'm also in Protein Shakes and surgery was on the 13th. Gas is getting much better. Reflux reflux and heartburn are also so much better that I don't need any meds for it.

I also had surgery on the 13th of April. It didn't take long. I was up and walking that evening. Slowly but surely. The following day I didn't need any extra pain medication. I did have to take carafate. An anti acid and make it easier to swallow. But thankfully yesterday or today I haven't taken anything else. I'm glad everything is working out on your end. I'm feeling good. It's hard to get one premiere Protein Shake in a day
It's 3pm and I got one down plus 24 oz of Water. I'm literally sipping on that or water all day. My mouth is like cotton mouth still. I hope everybody else is going well. Good luck to those that haven't had surgery. Don't give up. We are all different and some heal faster than others. Much love to you all!

5 days post op I feel great.Pain was minimal scale of 1-10 I had maybe 2 at most.I had a little gas not much.Follow the clear liquid diet.Today I'm trying a Protein Shake 2 days before I'm scheduled and it is going down like a champ.Thanks Dr.Garcia.Other than leg numbness I feel 100

I had surgery on the 13th the surgery went well no pain in shoulder no gas it's only way he did the procedure it's giving me a little pain but all in all everything is cool

Tomorrow can't come any faster. I'll post my date tomorrow as soon as I find out.

It is very individual but abdomen pain and gas are the main culprits. Honestly I'm usually fine after surgery for about 24 hours due to pain meds. I found there was more pain when you go home but it isn't anything unmanageable. I like to sleep on the couch the first few days or a recliner works great. My feeling about surgery is if they don't stick any needles in my back I'm good. Lol Thats my one phobia. Just walk early and often. I'm starting to get nervous too but I think it's more excitement. Good luck!!!

Hello everybody!!
I did it. I came out of surgery yesterday around 4pm eastern time. It's 6:03Am and I must say that the heartburn part was the worse then the pain as well made it more challenging. But if you go in it expecting it, then it won't come a surprise. I don't like when people sugar coat the recovery. Just expect the pain to be bad and hope it isn't. If I can get through it so each and every one of you can do it as well. I walked twice. I can now go to restroom alone and I'm sitting up with no issues. Just controlling my the heartburn and pain in advance is how I feel less pain. I'm praying for each and every one of you. Stay focused and don't forget your "whys" you're doing this and don't underestimate your strength.

I had a friend that cheated on hers and she just took some stuff to clean her stomach out. Like myralax and citric acid or something. Just poop it out and get back up and keep going. Don't give up on yourself. Make sure you just be honest with the doc. Don't be hard on yourself. As long as you don't keep doing it. The purpose is to shrink your liver to have easier and safer access to your stomach. You got this. I'm sure you're not the only one. Don't be yourself up. I'm here at hospital waiting to be called to room. It's my big day. I'm excited and nervous but looking forward to a new me. Much love and blessings to you.

I needed to here this! Hope you're feeling well!! I'm so scared. But only about the pain and gas. What kind of pain do you go through after? You're going to do so well!!! Thanks for being so inspiring!! [emoji171]
