Hang in there, I realized my hunger pains were actually gas pains Gas X helped alot with walking. I returned to work 6 days post op and found I didn't walk enough and felt awful My incision kills me but chat assured me this is normal ( banded june1)

:crying: I am having alot of pain in the muscle under the port incision when I lay down to sleep, not getting any better, no swelling or discoloration but feels like they left forcep or clamp in there. I know they didn't, it would have shown up with the 1st Xray Tomorrow I go to the surgeon, hopefully will start on next stage diet these liquids are getting old!

Back to work today ! brought my 1/4 c drink and soup, too busy to drink during the day. Have a problem sipping I quess my habit of gulping will hard to break, because the fast drinking causes gas and pressure. I'll be up late trying to catch up on my 64 oz..... Food looks good I hope I can hold out until I am officially on something other than liquids:bored:

:sad: I finally feel like a real person, up and about without issues, No hunger at all I almost missed lunch due to a visit from a long lost friend. GasX strips are a Godsend Thanks to the chat room suggestions I feel as well as I did pre-op

Make sure you walk alot afer surgery, small sips of liquids, no ggulping cause your mouth is so dry it gets better in a day or two

Today was a tough one I drank the liquids and protein up to 47 :sad:but feeling weak and tired maybe I did too much walking yesterday. The foods are getting boring, soup choc protein jello and water
