Surgery Buddies? :)

Hey Everyone, I am one week post op and definitely need some surgery buddies. This past week was so difficult, I was told by a lot of people that the first week is the hardest but I still had no idea it was going to be that hard..... I think it would be nice to have some friends who have been there to talk to! Please and Thank You <3

Hey there! I'm 4 weeks post op! I know exactly how you're feeling! If you need to talk about it or have questions I'm an open book! PM me if you want. I think it'd do me good to have a buddy as well!

I'm one week post op and dying for something solid!!! Someone give me some help...how did I get these shakes down and live with nothing solid!!!!! I'm so discouraged! I'm not hungry but I can't drink another shake I just want to chew on something besides a vitamin!

I'm having the same issues as nemmings only I am hungry all the time and I don't feel full at all. I tried the sugar free Popsicles but they are super sweet. Everything I can have is sweet it's so gross. I'm sick of broth as my only more of savory. I need some support. Help!

I just hit my one week post op on the 29th! The first week was definitely a rough one, each day gets a lot easier. My left side is still pretty tender

In a month u guys will be golden!!! It just keeps getting easier!!! I'm about 6weeks post op! I can't eat a lot of meats bc they make me feel sick, I eat beans, soups, and I can eat chips ok which I shouldn't! I haven't had any dumping syndrome and I have ate some sugar over Christmas. I'm so happy for that!! I just find it hard to eat healthy with the things I can eat easily....I want a big salad and it will be awhile!

Hi, I'm 2 weeks 1 day post op and I will say the first week was definitely the hardest. Ive had a few different things to eat which has made me feel much better like having eggs, mashed potatoes, broccoli and cheese soup, shrimp, refried beans/cheese and salmon. I haven't had and dumping syndrome which I am terrified of getting but trust me next week will be much better. I also had my first post op appointment yesterday and losing 15lbs in two weeks made me so excited for what's to come.

Hello, I had mine on 6/8 so a bit newer than you. My first week was a tad rough, but I felt full. On day 7 I started feeling hungry, but I think it was more a craving for substance, but Dr said to add in a snack and make sure to not eat more than satisfies me (at the moment, 2 oz). Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good. I never thought I would look forward to the pureed stage until now. 5 more days then I get moved up! You can message me at any time, but I am brand new to this! Good luck!
