I am

Only 2 days post op. feeling okay. Not great but no

Complications and I am

Grateful for that. I am

Able to drink

Fluids. Broth too . I just feel weak. I am still in

MX. Still sore. Of course I worry about not

Being able to eat again. Or not being healthy. But I keep ready everyone's post journey and it is amazing and gives me hope thank you for that

Just remember this feeling and one day do the same for freshly sleeved people. Offer a kind word, or encouragement. We were all new to WLS at one point in time, I know I remember how scary it was in the weeks leading to getting my lapband. This time around I didn't have that time to think about anything, or worry since my stomach prolapsed into my band and I had to have emergency surgery. I got the thumbs up from insurance on may 7th at like 6pm, and had surgery on May 8th and 7am. I had to stop and buy my post-op diet on my way home from the hospital. I had done my research, and knew what I wanted to do, but I didn't think it would be an emergency surgery. I didn't have to do the pre-op diet, because of my band issues I was on clear liquids for several weeks prior to surgery, since anything I attempted to eat came right back up. And my advice for getting liquids in, I was told by the nurse when I was discharged to get a medicine cup from the pharmacy, and fill it to the 15 ML (one tablespoon) try to get that in my every 10 mins. That's what I did and it was soooo much easier than staring at a huge cup of liquids. It was a mental game, but it worked, and I felt like I was doing amazing because every 10 mins I was accomplishing something.

Great advise that I will take.
