Glad to know it's not all in my crazy head lol! Thank you

Hi all! I am brandie-new to this site but I thought it looked amazing!
So, I had my surgery on July 24th. I have no pain from incisions, occasional soreness but nothing too remarkable. I too am on what was referred to as Bariatric Stage 2 diet, aka liquids only. It's been a week and one day, and it feels like the longest week. I feel better. I can notice a change in mood, some sleep (I was a real bad insomniac prior to surgery), I wake up feeling a bit more refreshed and get right up vs prior I'd lay in bed in a miserable daze for about an hour. I want to do more walking etc., but I do not want to overdo it I go for recheck on Aug. 16th, so I'll discuss what I can incorporate in for physical activity then. BUT, man am I having a hard time with the liquids and I noticed the Protein Shakes make me a bit gassy and sometimes mildly nauseous. I am not physically hungry much at all, only mildly here and there. But yes, the liquids only for the past week and knowing I have 2 more weeks at least of it (I can do "pureed" food in one week) is rough. Doing it like the doc said but it is rough. Especially when my family all have dinner or order out, etc. Trying to keep myself busy... and hydrated! I know in my head it will get easier in time and the liquid only is not forever but it has been a frustration at times.

I had mine on the same day and feel EXACTLY like I could have written everything you wrote.

Just letting you know you're not the only one. We can do this. We will do this.

Mine was just Monday.

I'm still on the post op Clear Liquids. The pain of my incisions is the only "pain" I have and that is ALMOST gone.

Glad to be past that part.

Since I started the PRE op liquid diet and now am on the post op clear liquid diet, I am really friggin tired of it and I want to chew something so badly.

I'm just doing what the doc ordered.

I'm not officially recording anything, but I've lost 26lbs or so since the 14th of this month.
