@@Shinnystar

you sure are!!

right now you have gone through recovery and in bed sleeping/resting

i'm writing very quietly so i don't wake you

hope you are not in much pain now

hopefully you will feel better sooner than later

you should walk as much as you can (now and at home too)

you probably know that walking will help settle/get rid of gas

i can tell you are a smarty pants, and you already knew the above

drink what you can (slowly)

when you get home, take small sips of Water

eventually NUT will tell you can take bigger sips

progressing to gulps

if you have problems with drinking, try room temp water

or drink chrystal light

you will "probably" have some bumps, ups and downs, stalls

but these things are common for most of us

follow alllll the rules

you are on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life

good luck

oh what a day!! A good day, that is!! It all went well. They kept me over night in hospital where I was able to drink the broth, I ate some of the popsicle but my new tommy didn't tolerate the Jell-O. They brought me some crushed ice and was able to either suck on them or mixed them Water in the little medicinal cups. I love drinking cold water and it was one of the things that got me worried if I was going to be able to continue liking it post-op. So we are good there. I walked, walked and walked, and then walked some more. Every 4 hours no matter the time of day and night there I was. So everyone on the bariatric floor got to know me.

I'm home now and continuing the routine from hospital and the liquid diet given by doctor's office. So far so good. Feel a little more sore than yesterday which is expected. Everything is more awake now. Took my first shower just few minutes ago, so I feel squeaky clean. TMI: had a little bowel movement not painful but liquidly...sorry for the details. Just trying share as much as I can remember now.

Going to finish lunch and rest before a short walk. Keep you good spirits up and know this is sooo possible. When things get tough, just think of the results you'll have..a better healthier life!

Ciao!

Glad it went well. Feel better.

thank you for sharing enlightening and inspiring! Congratulations on your new life! Rapid Healing thoughts your way!

Time for a little update.

I will share details of my experience under the My Story Forum, but for now, I can say I'm doing well. Everything seem to be running smoothly. I've had a couple of times where my stomach didn't approve of certain foods (from my doctor's and NUT's food/diet instructions), but I will have time to re-introduce them later on. My most difficult issue is the chewing and slow eating, and telling when I'm full. But hanging in there. Threw up yesterday and this morning after Breakfast, think I took a spoon of Jell-O when there was no more room for it. Oh well. Having a Protein shake soon to replace the loss.

Tomorrow is my post-op appointment and hopefully I get to have many of my new questions answered. I will share later! Take care all and keep up the good work!!
