I’m 10 days out from my surgery. And I felt like absolute hell for the first 5 days. I didn’t do much but take my meds, sleep and I’m between sleeping walked a bit and sipped my liquids. I was amazed that day 6 I woke up feeling like a normal person..lol. You didn’t make a mistake..focus on what you are able to do and REST. Your body needs it for recovery. Take your meds and by all means call your team if you think something is not right.
You got this!! Hang in there. What a difference a few days will make .

I’m excited for you too. Remember, it’s okay to be nervous (even if it’s at the last minute).
Prayers for your speedy recovery.

Thank You! I’m just starting full liquids this week and have been scared of the next step. This gives me hope.

4 days post-op from the sleeve and gallbladder removal. Haven’t lost one pound😢. While the pain is manageable I’m struggling to get all my liquids and Protein goals. I have been experiencing terrible headaches that make me dizzy. Trying to stay positive, sip, sip, sip and walk. Still no BMs either.

One week post-op today and visited with My doctor. I’ve graduated to full liquids! Yay me! I’ve never been so excited to see Tomato Soup in my life 😉.
What I’ve learned this week: by day 5 I felt like a normal person again, I should not compare my journey to others, and stick to the plan—it will get me where I need to be.
Thanks to all that have been friendly and welcoming. Having support is priceless.

I made it to the full liquid phase of my post-op. Yay! I can have Soup. I was never so excited about soup. I made Tomato Soup and thinned it out. I had 4 oz, ate it at a glacial pace. 20 minutes later the gurgling started and my new tummy revolted.
Am I just not ready for full lipids yet?

I’m jealous of your ramen noodles..I love them. I’m just moving off of Clear Liquids and dream about ramen as I’m sadly sipping on my broth. 😢

I never thought of how many food commercials are on tv in a given day until I had surgery. I’m one week post op from the sleeve and find myself changing channels to quit being bombarded by delicious looking morsels I cannot eat. 😢
I keep repeating the mantra in my head: those foods are how you became overweight, you do not need them, they are not good for the new you!
sometimes it helps..but man, it does look good.

Congratulations on getting closer to your date. I, too, was anxious. I found that by focusing on my pre-op diet and stocking up for days post-op helped. I had a list of questions to ask my Dr at my pre-op appointment. I left there feeling much calmer.
On the day of surgery, yes I was anxious but knew that I have done my part and couldn’t wait to be done. Now, 4 days out, I’m focusing on fluids and walking.
The entire process is overwhelming..I focus on one part at a time and that makes it easier for me.
You can do it!

I had my last pre-op appointment last Wednesday and stepped on the scale to fin I’d only lost 1/2 a pound! I was discouraged😐. Got on the scale today and i’m Down 6. Haven’t done anything different guess my body just needed to adjust.
Think positive, stick to the program you have and it will work. You got this!

Congratulations! Here’s to a speedy and safe recovery.
