Surgery 8/21

Hi Everyone,

My name is Amy and I am 4 days post-op. I have lost 10.8 pounds since the liquid diet a week prior to my surgery. I can not wait to get the the soft food stage and actually be able to chew my food again. Good luck to you all :)

  • Hi Amy! Hope you are starting to feel better! I thought that honestly around day 5/6 I was actually feeling myself again (well as much as can be expected)! Good luck on your journey and we are all

  • I too had my surgery on the 21st! I am down 15 pounds since starting the preop diet. I am 6 days post op and woke up feeling great. I still have a little pain where my port side is but not too much

Hi Amy!

Hope you are starting to feel better! I thought that honestly around day 5/6 I was actually feeling myself again (well as much as can be expected)! Good luck on your journey and we are all right there with you! I am 10 days out and still on liquids....

THis is the first time in a long time that I am feeling good about myself. THis was the best decision for me!

I feel the same way. As of today I'm down 14.8 pounds and feel great. I have pain where the port is also mostly if I'm bending down to pick up the kids toys, lol, and getting out of bed. Like you I'm feeling better everyday.I'm so excited to be on this journey.

Hi Toni,
