I can't believe I'm finally posting in the post-op forum!

I had surgery yesterday and I am finally getting some Water today. I never thought I would be so excited to have water.

Everyone except my family thinks I had my gallbladder out. I'm scared to tell people.

Congrats!!! Good luck your journey :) Right now shouldn't be about what other people think. Your recovery and health are important for the success of this surgery. In time I am sure you will be able to share your story with friends and family and if they are truly friends and family they will embrace it. Have a great day and good luck in recovery ;)

LoL my friends and family think I had an ulcer, didn't want to be judged!! Just a white lie, not hurting anyone!! and, I am happy!! Good luck with the Water and if it gets tough to drink, add a little lemon, works great!! Best of luck on your journey!!!

Congratulations!! I agree with LonghornNiner, don't worry about who knows or thinks what, just concentrate on taking care of yourself and recovering! It will come in time if you decide to share your story. I am 4 days post-op and feeling better each day! I only shared with a few key people closest to me what I was doing. I will know if and when it's time to share with others. You made a huge step to do something to better yourself physically, etc, and you are in control of when and who knows. Hang in there, and follow your surgeons orders to the T! I wish you all the best during your recovery!

Thanks for the support. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one keeping a secret.

They gave me Jello and broth now. The Jello was so good. But I feel like I just ate a ton!

It's also the day after my surgery, I also agree that the Jello tastes & feels better going down but I can't finish it in 1 sitting.

Seems to me you are right on track......You will gradually be able to eat more and tolerate more but it takes time .....There will be things you ate before that don't taste good anymore and other things you will love to eat...It is all a learning experience......I love fish and rarely ate it before my surgery....... :)

      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.
