I'm 13 days post op... The first 2 days were great! THEN the burning pain next to my belly button started after the morphine button was taken from me :-( I never dealt with much nausea.. The first 4 days or so it was a little unpleasant to drink! Every time I took a drink I would have air bubbles gurgle up my throat. It didn't hurt or anything but it was a little uncomfortable. I was constantly trying to find something to elevate the pain by my belly button! I'm on a two week clear liquid diet.. Not having food hasn't bothered me much surprisingly since I ate normal all the way to the evening before my surgery. I was a cash patient so it took 20 days from consult to surgery day... I didn't do any pre op diets! After day 6 or 7 my energy started coming back :-) I do take plenty of chewable vitamins during the day and the chewing experience makes my tummy kinda hurt :-( but I keep taking it all.. Days 8-13 haven't been that bad but I'm still only good for about 3-4 hours a day! I STILL have the burning pain next to my belly button but the few hours I'm being active I just wear an abdominal binder which really helps make walking bearable. So here I am on my last clear liquid day and I have lost 16 lbs so far but I do feel like I'm hungry these days and I don't think its acid because I'm taking my pills.. It's not completely unbearable so I just keep drinking the water! SO if anyone wants to know kind of what to expect the first 2 weeks, here's my experience!

Oh--- I have noticed through this whole process that every other commercial is about food lol maybe that's why I'm hungry :-) for the first time in my life I'm craving a Ruben sandwhich hahaha!

Or maybe all those commercials is one of the reasons some many Americans are overweight. Keep bombarding the food ideas over and over into our brains that we couldn't resist if we tried! LOL- okay maybe not entirely, but I'm sure it contributes! Thanks for sharing your experiences!! :D

      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.
