I'm feeling pretty good just exhausted, it's no joke when they say they make you walk every 2 hours even at night. I am having some gas pains around my tummy and I am very sore. I was able to drink fine this morn and I ate some puréed chicken and green beans for lunch. It was 2oz of meat and 1/2 cup veggies and I could barely get halfway through. Not drinking with my meal was a tough adjustment. I kept instinctively reaching for the cup lol. I am soooooo happy I made this decision. It still seems so unreal.

I am now In so much pain. I can't move out of my bed

you are still extremely swollen from surgery and am surprised you are eating...a lot of us was on liquids for 1 to 2 weeks after.....i suggest to sip slowly and keep on sipping to allow you insides to heal..as the swelling subsides, you will be able to eat/drink more/better.....but for heaven sakes, dont rush anything (even if you saw it elsewhere)...take care and rest when you need to

@3mommy i hope you feel better soon..

They had us eat eggs and drink before leaving hospital. I'm allowed mushie puréed foods only for one month. I'm ok eating but I eat about 2-3 tablespoons of food and then I can't eat anymore. Food is staying down well. It's the gas and the soreness that's getting me.

3rd day creamy soup but not too creamy...

I'm day 2 post op and on straight liquids. I too am surprised your eating so soon... Take it easy. I have been using the chewable gas x tablets and that has helped me.

I was surprised also but I am tolerating it. I can't eat alot just teeny tiny bits of puréed food and I've been drinking water all day.
