well so far here is my story. day of surgery was major pain! went home the second day and felt incredible! cleaned the house and did 6 loads of laundry! stripped beds n remade them, took a real shower and felt rejuvenated! I literately can't even see my incisions anymore. Today I got to soak in our garden tub! Never got gas trapped in my shoulder or anywhere else. actually didn't have any problems with gas at all! Bowl movements are everyday and normal and don't stink like everyone says. Fluids are coming along, most days 60 oz, slow days are 40oz. Not doing protein shakes, our surgeon doesn't require it, they just want us to stick with fluids. Cottage cheese went well, yogurt went well, apple sauce was amazing, and even cheated a little with flaked broiled haddock, and scrambled egg.. my pouch was super happy! no dumping or pain. I'm finally sleeping through the night, on my tummy at that, found vitamins I can tolerate (took all the orange out if the Flintstones) My pouch like the orange lol! Wish we had a scale I am so curious to know. can't see a physical change yet, but do notice my boobs seem extra heavy ughhhhh.

so that's my story so far

oh ya were also in the process of moving so been packing all day today lol

That is so amazing that you have had no problems and are full of energy! Good for you! I hope I have a great story like this to share. Do you mind me asking how much your pre-surgery weight was?
