Hi I'm Kim currently having a bit of buyers remorse. I'm very uncomfortable! I have staples and severe gas! Looking for some encouraging stories to help me focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. Help!!

Had the same buyers remorse too. I'm almost one month out, and each day will get better. Walk laps around the house as much as you can and sip liquids all day long. You need to stay hydrated. I felt so much better by day 6. Keep going, it does get better!

Thanks! And congrats to u

Believe me it all passes, and each day gets better. I constantly walked, it helps with the gas and the quicker you get up and about the quicker your recovery time is. Congrats and you will feel better soon - I promise

Thanks! ????

Yep, I ditto what Nicole K said! I'm only 8 days and each day is getting better! I had buyers remorse and post op blues on days 3-5. Besides the diahhrea (ick and tmi) each day is getting better. It's hard with all the meds and trauma your whole body has experienced. Walk and sip, walk and sip! Congrats!!

Just had cream of cheese Soup and I think I'm in love!! Did try a Hawaiian punch sugar free drink mix and it did not end well. Ugh.. Thanks for the well wishes

Hawaiian puch sugar free is too freaking sweet!! I would try Crystal light...My favorite flavor is anything Pomegranate!

Hi Kim!! Welcome. And congrats!

I'm about 8 weeks out and they are right each day gets better. There will be some rough spots around the third and four week from pouch healing. You just won't want to eat. But I started to feel really good at that point too. Hang in there. Good luck.

Thanks!! How much are you down so far? Any tips for the liquid diet phase?
