None yet. I am still in full liquids though. I still tolerate Premier Protein drinks which I know a lot of people report after surgery they can't do anymore. I am heading back to work tomorrow. I am going to do some part time days and then go back full force on Monday.

Yes I did, and do. I bet this happens to you, but I hope not.

I discovered I dislike some things I used to love. But the dislike has culminated over a period of time. So I would try to eat something like a green olive, which I love, and found it made me feel like crud. Over time I started to dislike green olives. There is a myriad of food like that, that overtime I grew to not like so much.

I also have a stricture that is going away. So if I eat or don’t chew well enough, it will try and come back up, it’s effortless for me to get sick.

So as long as you eat slow and chew chew chew, you should be A-OK.

I’m wishing you more smooth sailing!!!

Just had mine done on Monday and was up and walking about 2 hours after surgery. Basically no pain and was able to walk laps around the nurses' station. They said no one does multiple laps their first trip out but I did 3. A lot is in the prep. Meaning; get yourself to a gym and walk on a treadmill or ride a bike. Get a good strong core/legs and follow pre-op diet to the letter.

Great read -- I think the post above about prep may be a factor for y'all. Or just damn good luck :-)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
