Here it is 6 days post op and I'm feeling ok. The first few days I was having major regrets! But as long as I stay on schedule with my pain meds, I am feeling pretty good. I'm trying to ween myself from every 4 hours to every 8 hours and each time I feel better and better!! The 2 incisions do not hurt at all but my stomach muscles are what hurt the worst! Lol. Trying to get in my protein shakes and water throughout the day is still a struggle, but I have found that if I keep a water bottle and a cup of crushed ice with me, it really helps on the fluid intake. My taste buds have changed and it's hard to get my protein shakes in because they taste so sweet to me now! I was shocked that my surgeon called on Saturday morning to check on me! I really appreciated that! I also seem to be very emotional in the evenings. I keep crying and telling my hubby I'm sorry he has to take care of me and I'm sorry I'm a burden. But each day that passes gets better and better! I didn't cry at all yesterday! Lol

Sounds like you really have a handle on this! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing.

You are doing so well! Keep up the good work! It gets better every week! Keep your spirits up. I had some pretty dark days but at 7 weeks out I am doing really well!

You brave girl, you are inspirational xxx

Thank you all so much! It's been a struggle, but I KNOW in the end it will be so worth it!

I am 6 days out and starting to have the same issue. Everything taste so sweet not sure what to do. hard to get protein shakes down.

I am 2 months post op. I had a problem with protein shakes after surgery. Couldn't do them after the first week. I got sick from them. I had to shop and find my own mix that I could handle. Found raw fit gluten free mix and worked much better. I found it at vitamin world and it has 26 grams of protein. Much better. I could put pb2 in it with a banana and it was great. Try alternatives. It gets better.

I finally found a combination that I can handle for the time being. 1 scoop Vanilla Isopure, 1 scoop Chocolate Isopure, 1/2-1 T of PB2 and 12 oz of water. I divide it into 3 - 4 oz drinks and that is my b/l/d.
