Hey my October bandsters,

Well I can't believe i made it, 1 week post op, i thought surely I would die( not really),it sure felt like it, I am moving around much better, still have port pain, but the gas is minimal. I am drinking, finally after being dehydrated, and i feel tons better, i'am up to mushies .....yeah , and feeling very satisfied( hate protein shakes though..yuk) iam struggling to drink my ensure, or boost!!! any suggestions? i tried blending it with bananas and strawberries...ouch!!! the gas!!! all in all i feel okay, just extremly fatigued!!!! any suggestions( i do chew my vitamins) i tried to go to work today, but i was to tired..well there's always tomarrow.......thanks for keeping me motivated October bansters:whoo:

Congrats .... 16 days post op here. I loved Yoplait Light Smoothies, they go down easy and keep me satisfied. I still have some port pain, it seems to get better everyday. The fatigue will take a few more days to clear up, the last two days have been my best days for not being just totally wiped out. I had so much energy yesterday, I even start working out, a little .... Hang in there it will get better. Good Luck

Thanks for the info... i will defintly try the smoothie...yum!!!!, went back to work today,ooh port pain, but i'am happy i lost 11lbs in one week so yeah me!!!!!! good luck!!!!!!

Way to go New Orleans GRL ... each day will get easier now.

The port pain will take a while to go away and my port was initally all pinched-up and ugly, that goes away also. I hate protein shakes to! Hate, Hate, Hate!! Special K has the clear protein drink now that's good and NOT milky/creamy. You can buy it at Wal-Mart or Target whatever .... I would try that. Good luck!
