I'm home trying to figure out the perfect sip, sip, sip balance. I now understand the term trying to make it a reality.

I just got home myself. I have yet to find said balance. Lol. Im so bloated/gassy I can't tell if Im sipping too much or too little.

It's never too late, until its too late

I just want to say that I've never had children but boy do I have a special appreciation for the pregnant lady squat now hahaha I woke up this morning with almost all my pain gone though! I dont feel likei have an issue getting Protein, but I definitely am not getting even close to the liquid. I wanna weigh so freaking bad but I'm still a little bloated so I'm trying to wait the full week! Have any of you guys post op weighed yet? How has your pain been?

Hey everyone! It's been a little quiet around here, just checking in and wondering how everyone's doing?

As for me, I'm 5 days post op. Feeling better every day, most of my bloating has gone. Pain is completely gone. Clear and full liquids have gone down fine. I've been meeting my fluid goals and getting very close to my Protein goals. I have a post op appointment with my surgeon and I'm thinking about asking her about my diet progression. All in all I feel good. Definitely a lot better than I expected, so for anyone having a tough time or is having anxiety post op..HANG IN THERE! To all you wonderful ladies having surgery good luck!!

@@MrsMonroe I am home and doing pretty well. Only one pain killer was necessary today. 32 oz. is really possible after surgery. My surgeon was fantastic. He heard me when I said that I have to go back to work on Monday and did not give even one dose of narcotics that was not necessary. I have six incision points and they are healing well. with little pain. Most discomfort is internal/abdominal and related to doing increasingly more activity. When I left the hospital, he put me on full liquids (which was a joke at first). Now, it is good. yesterday I had 24 grams of Protein and about 120 calories. Today, was closer to 30 grams of protein and a little over 200 calories. At this point, it is almost a job to consume each ounce and gram. Tomorrow, I have 4 hours of work.... My supervisor understands that surgery was last week. He is providing a helper and releasing me early on Thursday to go to my one week appointment. Whew! Time flies after surgery!

@@Shrinkinqtpi thank you so much for the updated. My surgery is Wednesday morning. The liquid diet has been very hard I lost 5 lbs, but cheated and could have list more. I've got 3 cases of Isopure and about 10 boxes of crystal light, I also brought alot of different flavors of Ramen noodles so I can get the season packs to have as broth. I think that's it. I remember you saying something about mouth spray? I also need to get something for gas. I pray my surgery goes great. I'm still nervous and excited at the same time. I hope work will be tolerable for you, make sure you take it easy.

@@Dawnie Doo I know right? I totally feel like I'm gearing up for the big game of something, too!

I leave for the hospital in 6 hours! Eeek. It seems like I won't be doing too much sleeping tonight after all. I'm starting to get pretty darn nervous. It really makes me feel better to know that you ladies are out there cheering me on! I will let you all know how it went as soon as I can. To my other 8/8 friends, be brave!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
