Cheers & good luck in your journey. My own Bandaversary now places me into my NINTH year postOp!!!!

As I recall--ever so long ago---the first 4 days I couldn't sip a whole cup of tea before it cooled. It took all day to get my 1 liter of Water sipped down.

Eating wasn't an option....not that hunger was an issue at all. And I had a little emotional glitch about day 7 or so.....but ALL has been very very good since!!!

Herbal tea was my friend, and the actual 6 weeks before returning to 'solid food' helped me come to understand the difference between 'hungry' and 'not hungry'.

Cheers to you this fine holiday!!!!

Don't worry, it's a Whole New Life postOp.....and that Life is GOOD!!!!

Congrats on the beginning of your journey! :) I spent my first week drinking Breakfast carnations, Water,diet v8, and sugar free popcicles. Truly I was not even hungry. the liquids kept me satisfied I assume because there was still swelling going on during the healing.

I do suggest some other form of Protein drink then the Breakfast carnations.my doc suggested them but I later found out that there are many many more options with less sugar in them.

Thank you everyone. Less than 4 hrs away. Made it they the liquid diet hanging on this headache but I'm finally here. I'm so excited that I don't even care about my headache. Now I'm praying for a speedy recovery. Thanks for all the encouragement. I love this forum I only wish I found it earlier since only a handful of people know. Talk to you all soon.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
