I am feeling a bit stronger still on clear liquids my surgery was on 5/20? How long before you went to full liquids? Would love to have a shake

That's good to hear Lily! It varies for some people. My Dr allowed me to have skim milk with my protein shake in the first week. I am on post op day 5. I tried it with water and it was just horrible :/

TMI again: My surgery was on Monday 5/18 and I still have not had a bowel movement. Am I right to be freaking out?

I doing pretty good today too! 8 days left of liquids (ugh) but I'm down 9 pounds since Tuesday and all my clothes are loose. That's helping FOR SURE!

Is anyone off pain meds completely? I was trying to do just Tylenol but after I walk a lot I'm still getting pretty sore.

Awesome!! I'm scared to check the scale lol but I definitely feel a difference in my clothes.

I've only had Tylenol with codeine this whole time :( I just take it at night. The soreness is starting to pass.

I've stopped. Not bad enough really to take anything. Yay!

I've been on Tylenol only. Since I am on antibiotics in had diarrhea last night. So I stayed in the shower until the imodium kicked in. I woke up about 1:30 pm but I am still nervous what the day will bring. I still have 5 days left on antibiotics.

Haven't taken pain meds since Surgery day on the 18th!
