Had my first visit post op. I still have pain in back but she said it is gas and to walk, walk, walk. I am still take a small amt every 10 to 15 min. So far tolerating well. My stomach still spasms occasionally and when I'm drinking it burgled, so I take my time. Please be careful and listen to your Dr.

You know I had that...really really bad pain in between my breasts. THAT'S where your new stomache is. We always think it's like below our ribs. I figured out that mine will what I call seize up if I am super hungry. Terrible awful pain. So that's why sometimes I make a yogurt with Protein Powder in it (like PB Protein powder) and thin it with a little water. Just to put something THICKER than LIQUID in it. That seems to do the trick. Like I wake up every morning with that pain cuz I'm starving. I can't wait for puree foods!!! Good luck but just be careful in case it's not your new tummy.

The numbers on the scale are going down. Now my problem with this is, is iit due to me not getting in what I need. I am starting to worry I am trying so hard to drink.

I work from home as well. Today was my first day back, sleeved on 11/8, I did ok but I'm glad I have just tomorrow before some days off. I think when I start working a 5 day stretch, it's going to be very trying & I'll be wishing I could nap!!

I haven’t felt it. I noticed yesterday. You will get there
As far as food go I need something to crunch I miss moving my mouth. My mom made bean stew I couldn’t help but to chew a bean. It felt so good to just move my jaw. I didn’t swallow cause I was scared. But I am ready for something different.

Ladies I feel great my incision is no where near as painful. Found this out yesterday. I am moving. Getting up and down almost normal. Drinking is a different topic seems like I am moving backwards with that. I am just always full. I think my surgeon took to much from me. I talked to my team they assured me it’s in my head 😂. How is everyone doing.

You not the only one. My jaws is tight

I can’t wait to get back to normal things in my life. I layed in the guest bedroom up until yesterday. Work is next. I am a nurse so I am not going back until I am healed completely.

Good luck

Ugh I am right there with you . I never realized how much the chewing and textured mattered . I spoke to my Nutritionist about this today. It’s challenging and it has been messing with me on an emotional level that I didn’t expect. Nice to know I’m not alone in this.

Scheduled for 11/28 started liquid diet on the 14th. So excited, its been a long journey.

I work from home so went back to work yesterday and I miss the naps! By 4:30 I'm drained. Ugh I wish I didn't pinch this nerve I would be right with you on the pain scale!

Yes the naps has to go. You rock

My incision pain is at a 2½ now compared to the 6 it was in the hospital. I too am moving around more. Just last night I started rolling over in bed. Can't stay in that position for very long but it's something. I am getting my fluids in I have an app I put in how much I've been drinking and it's been keeping "score" for me. I'm managing almost 50 oz a day of Water give or take. I'm also having popsicles and Protein Drinks as well as yogurt and Jello. I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week. I don't want to think about cooking. I'm still a bit too tired for that activity. These healing naps are for the birds and I miss out on all the good stuff. Anyone else napping?

You're doing so great! I'm struggling with getting up and down with this pinched nerve - I keep laughing and it's making it worse! I can't help it! But doing the heating pad as recommended. Fluid I'm doing about 40oz but I don't feel dehydrated or light headed. Getting my little walks in, too! Can't believe tomorrow will be a week. One more week of liquids and then I can start my pureed on Thanksgiving. Is anyone hungry? I'm not really. food looks good but the thought of having to eat makes me kinda sick.
