My surgery on the 10 th too at 7:30 am

I've got no advice. Im a newbie just like you. I'm experiementing with the shakes because that muscle milk light has a very bitter aftertaste that I dont like, reminds me of sweet n low. I bought a hamilton beech personal sixe blender today for $20 at a discount store and it whips up great smoothies, crushes ice like a dream. I made myself an unjury one and my daughter a peanut butter banana smoothie. Both were yummie

Hi I was banded on 9-6.Shop for all your post op food before hand.I was same day surgery and had a lot of gas pain when I came home so walk walk walk as much as you can to move gas.Heating pad helped and I also iced my stomach and that relieved pain and swelling.Sip water and try to get all your fluids in it's hard at times because you feel full but sip sip sip.The most important tip for me to bring to the hospital is chapstick ahem I was in recovery my lips were so dry.Good luck to all of you.
