Ok- so I am 10 days post op and I finally got my color back and feel better. I was really worried because I usually bounce right back from things, but not this surgery. I am feeling hopeful now and my energy has returned. Still on liquid diet and doing great! I kind of like this muscle milk. Ha ha! Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support!

Thanks Goodness, I'm Day 5 post-op and I think I was hit by a truck! LOL Not really getting better by the day biggest complaint is the sore abdomen and it's not too sore today. I'm a bit more hungry but the liquid shakes seem to knock the hunger out. Thursday I can add the mushies! I can't wait!

It took me at least 7 days post-op to begin to feel somewhat normal. For me, it was the medications, anesthesia, anti-biotics they poured into my body. I know I was in shock for a week. Maybe it's necessary but I really never want to go back there again.

I had my gb out on 6/29 and breezed through. I found this much harder. I'm 17 days PO now and feel 100% better. Hang in there.

Pennie 8/10.

I was unprepared for the post-op experience and feared I had made a big mistake. I hugged a heating pad for a week after the surgery, and cursed everyone who told me it would be a breeze. Thankfully it passed soon enough. And seeing the weight come off makes it SO worth it!

Mountain Man, wait till you are down another 20 or so and you are really expieriencing the energy boost! WOW! Good on ya!

I so feel you, days 1-3 I was like OMG you actually did this to yourself! I'm now day 5 post op and it's getting better. I have a lot of gas in my back. I took a 15 minute walk and although I didn't pass the gas at least I got it to move out of my back! I'll walk again when I get home I can't help it I have been checking the scale and I'm down 6 lbs since last week! I know it's only liquid diet/post surgery but it does help get me through the day!!

Hang in there! It gets easier and easier!! Then once you get your full energy back , you will be unstoppable!!
