not too bad the only pain I feel is the co2 in the abdomen and chest, feel like I can't burp, but the initial walk around the recovery floor is alleviating that... honestly the worse part by far was the anticipation and fear. Thanks Dr. Mir Ali and the staff at Fountain Valley Regional... it's been a great experience this far

You got to eat slow and put a sauce on it

i fried it over easy with kirkland cooking spray and had a bit of cheese on the side. i cut it into tiny pieces but the chest tightening feeling followed mid way..so i tossed it

Probably just a bit too much. I don't really get a good warning when I should stop until I take one bite too many. Early on, portions are impossibly difficult to estimate. Good luck as you figure out your path.

your worst enemy is the anxiety... make sure to pack some gas x for your first over night and some good music to power you through the initial walks post-op . Good Luck and let us know how your doing along the way.

I go back to work tonight so I'll probably try to eat an egg. Hopefully

Try for 1/3 or 1/2 the first time. You don't want to make yourself miserable. Good luck!

I tried to eat an egg the other day but I didn't eat the whole thing I just put enough to fit in a shot glass and I was okay
