2 Days Post Op!

My first day home after my surgery and it is a bit more challenging than I thought! I am not hungry at all but I have finally come to understand that I have an addiction to food. The minute my eye caught a piece of soda bread I instantly wanted to gab it. I have my eye on the prize but this is no quick fix, gonna take a lot f willpower and strength.

I agree with you,this surgery is not like we took a magic pill. Is not an easy journey but at least we are able to eat in small quantities now Congrats and a speedy recovery to you!

I think the first week, when you're trying to wrap your mind around having had surgery, is probably the toughest part.

Your tummy isn't happy at all; you're drinking liquids for two weeks; you're thinking when do I get to chew again?

The answer is -- soon. It's all going to be all right. You'll graduate to mushies (scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, etc.) and they're going to be pretty darn wonderful when you get there. I thought scrambled eggs tasted like heaven.

Hang in there. It'll get better. I promise and so do a whole lot of other folks on this site.

Best,

Carol

Me too i was starving the first week but then i too came to the realisation not hungry, addicted its sad that i didn't realise this before. Its week 2 for me and it's already easier I've lost 20 kgs and its finally becoming well worth it. You'll get there xxx
