5 days since my surgery and I am slowly healing. Drinking my 64oz of water daily and 2 protein shakes per day. My Stitches are inching super bad and my smell has gotten very strong. I am mentally ready for soft foods but my tummy is still healing. Protein shakes are not filling me up.

I hope the both of you are doing well on your big day

Had my surgery on July 7th. I am five days out and the pain slowly goes away. I still cannot sleep good as I normally sleep on my tummy, so side sleeping is stopping me from a good night's rest. I never thought I would hate water as I do now. I tried the broth and it is gross. I don't drink coffee or tea, hate jello and Popsicles are just to cold to eat still. I am super hungry and my protein drink is not helping. On the upside I have already lost 17lbs, so that keeps me going. I did keto for 3 years and only lost 15lbs. Oh and my Stitches are clearly healing because they inch so bad.

Corpus Christi, TX from first appointment to the full year with hospital stay around 12,000. I refused insurance because they tell you what rules to follow.

I wasn't able to follow the two week diet and ate up to the last day. I was told by a friend who also had this done to drink two bottles of Magnesium 48 to 24 hours before your surgery. I did just that to but the down side your bm turns into water.

4 day Post opt. July 7th. My original date was supposed to be June 22 but my father pasted away on the 18th of June and I had to post pone my surgery for an additional two weeks. I ate up to the last day and stopped just to make sure I had room for those two drinks I had to do on top of drinking two bottles of Magnesium so I cam flush out my system right away. I am allergic to anesthesia so when they gave it to me they also gave me a Steroid. My surgery was at 8am and I was up by 11:30am. Tons of heart burn from steroid but the hospital took care of that right away. They feed me pain killer through my IV which made me have the best sleep ever. Fast forward four days now and I have alreadyost 16lbs, have a lot more energy and sticking to my diet plan. I am so ready for food but I know that will have to wait until my check up next week. Only thing that sucks is wearing long dresses. I am not a dress girl, I like my jeans but my Stitches have to heal. I am happy that I decided to do this.
