I was discharged yesterday and everything went swell! Got my sleeve and the doctor fixed a hernia that I had and he removed my gallbladder which I am very thankful that he did because apparently I had a couple big gallstones. I'm healing just fine and all but I'm hurting so much on my left side. I've been walking here and there and icing it when I lay down which helps a lot. I'm so excited to pass this phase and ready for phase 2. Just wish this pain would stop already!! >_

hang in there and congrats! you got this!

Congratz. My surgery was last Thursday and I am also ready for Phase 2! And yes, the pain is NO FUN!

Thank you ladies! I'm going to try phase 2 either tomorrow or Thursday since I'm holding my water down well, let's hope for the best!

Glad to hear you are doing well. Hope the pain ends soon...

I've heard heating pads can help with the pain too. Maybe try alternating ice and heat?

Glad all went well!!!

I completely forgot about the ice pack I tried it out and it is helping a lot, yay! thank you!!

Jacks, ???? (lol), I'm feeling some progress today. The gas movement is my next tackle, as I was able to meet my Fluid and Protein targets yesterday, yippee! As many have suggested, walking helps tremendously, but I really want to sleep and relax as much as possible while home, so my stomach can excellerate the re-mending.

How are you doing?

Great to hear your doing so well Iam 1week out from a bypass and had stitches removed today getting my protein in working hard on water. Move to 2nd stage

Cont'd stage 2 on Saturday shopping all ordered and ready for soft foods x

That's great!! I feel like I've gotten rid of most of the gas but there's this one part, my upper left side of me, that hurts so I'm walking it off every 2 hrs for at least 10/20 minutes . I honestly forgot to incorporate the Isopure with the Water intake for the first stage so I added that in and omg I was so happy that I was drinking anything but water xD! Isopure is heaven!! When I finally got to my hotel all I did was sleep it off and wake up at odd hours to do the sperometer and drink water. (And use the toilet) I think sleeping definitely helps the healing you should go for it! Sleeping and the ice pack helps a lot ! Just wish I could lay sideways again cuz laying on my back the entire time is starting to be a killer lol.

Very nice!! Congrats! once I go home I'll have to stock up on the food I'll need to eat for the next stage hehe.

Thank you for this post grabbing an ice pack now and then I'll try a heating pad 6 days out feel like death

I know exactly how you feel I'm the first week marker from my surgery and had a hernia repaired. The pain in my left shoulder is unbelievable. I've iced and heated but nothing has helped. It's the nerves that are aggravated causing the pain. I hope it subsides soon.

Good job on your progress. What is on your Stage 2 diet?

@@jacks89 do you use the powder or premade isopure? I'm interested in another protein product because I'm slowly getting tired of the whey/milky protein taste from my current whey isolate.
