Hey everyone! Just a quick update... had my surgery on friday, took my surgeon about 1hr & 20mins. Recovery was hard the first hour I felt a lot of pain I was not expecting. After the pain meds kicked in (dilaudid) I was fine. I was up and walking the next day. Im passing gas and urinating on my own. I have made it to 2oz of liquid in 1hr and if I can do 4oz in an hr I can go home tonight. I have been sitting up and putting on my slipper socks alone. I still have a drainage tube from my stomach which comes out before I leave I have slept on my right side and my back both are comfortable for me. All is well. Hoping everyone else has a smooth surgery and post op!

I came home yesterday. Took pain med on an empty stomach and got very nauseous. I can tolerate the pain but the nausea is the worst! Drinking but not taking in food yet. I did some Soup yesterday but not interested at home.

sugar free vanilla pudding just became my favorite thing ever. Not much Protein but at least there's a little Calcium. Also loving refried Beans with a little mild taco sauce that was recommended to me on this thread. :-) So sick of "chicken salad" and cottage cheese. Blah.

Also good luck to all the remainder of December surgeries!!!

Lucky you! I can't have any pork products with the exception of pork tenderloin which I hate. No red meat for 6 months and no starches for 6 months. After week ten I can slowly introduce normal foods minus the starches and red meat.

I should clarify...I say everything but you are right. Pork and no red.meat for long time. No asparagus, bacon, or steak. And supposed to be on pureed for at least 3 weeks and then soft foods. I am very careful and a bit hyper vigilent as to not go overboard. I am really not eatting much.

Hi, I had my surgery on 12/19 and came home 12/21. I had some broth that night (ick), and had some of my day 1 diet yesterday. I'm focusing mostly on the Water and trying to get some of the Protein in. I'm a little nauseous this morning, but generally ok. I'm wondering if that's because I took some Tylenol (allowed) on an empty stomach last night. Do what you can with the food, but definitely stay hydrated. I think that can cause nausea too.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
