Well, 5 or 6 hours post op and feeling much better. The first 30 minutes were not much fun, but have continuously felt better and after a couple decent naps the discomfort is not too bad at all.

Good luck to the rest of you going today, and the rest of the month.

I'm home now, no nausea, very little discomfort. Hardest part is getting all the liquids down.

So you decided to go through with it! That's great. Glad you're well. I'm still having trouble with liquids too, seems we all do :/. I love water, but the protein shakes SUCK.

I am a week out post op and hit a few bumps in the road. Bad reaction to CO2 gas then had reaction the adhesive in the bandages that covered my incisions., horrible itchy rash all over my torso. Other than that minimal pain, everyday easier to get more fluids down. Wasn't allowed anything but Clear Liquids first 7 days, Actually entered phase 2 of liquid diet today and had home made cream of potato soup. Delicious!!

<p>I am trying different shakes, have liked Isopure and Unjury so far, some are simply too chalky for me. I wish that there was an unflavored protein available...</p>

there is unflavored protein available but the pro nutrition store I went to said it is typically not carried on sale floors, you have to order it. The vitamin shoppe is where I last got it and also thru amazon. I do that in water with the MIO type flavor drops. It is not as icky sweet as many of the shakes and you can control the taste by the amount you put in. Best wishes for your journey!

I had my surgery on March 7th ready to get the next couple months in the rear view but honestly my surgeon told me I would feel better than I expected sooner than I expected and he was right, each day has been a bit easier and today felt like things were starting to level out. Best wishes to all. Congratulations on your choice to take care of yourself.
