    Congrats to you :) I'm 5 days post op :) everything went well, having pain where main incision was placed. I do know of certain counseling support groups but that's about it.

    I'm 9 days post op. Still having some pain on the left side. My body hates all the protein shakes, jello, and g2. Everything tastes too sweet and fake right now. I was an organic whole seasonal eater prior to surgery so I'm struggling right now.

    Have you lost appetite/weight this month? (If you don't mind me asking?) I have this irrational fear that this surgery will help everyone on Earth except me!

    Yes it's amazing . I remember being two days post op and barely able to sip & now I can drink more and it's the little things. I've also been going to the gym as I hit the dreaded three week stall lol
