Hi everyon, I just recently have my surgery. It been 6 day that I have it and my problem is that i feel good, I hasn't throw up and I been walking as much as I can so the gas go away but that seem to be a problem for everyone.. cuz It going to sound so weird and it hasn't a week of my sergury and I feel good.. my belly hurts but is not killing

My surgery was on Monday and by Thursday I can tell it was when I start feel the most normal but everybody is driving me crazy cuz they like I should be in bed. I should be outside.. yesterday I went to a birthday party and they were freak out cuz I went.. so do u think is okey feeling this good or should I be resting ? The other thing is the liquid I think I can drink about 7 to 8 onz of Protein in like 25 to 30 minutes and I don't know if is okey cuz that another thing in my house they think I drink to much of If i say i feel hungry is like .. why u hungry, u shouldn't feel hungry with the surgery.. now I feel bad because I feel good... this is so crazy and sorry but I need to some advice

I had surgery on 7/2 along with a few others. One of the others shared at our check up that she is able to drink 4-6 oz at a sitting and is still hungry. She was told not to do it and that she’s not hungry, it’s in her head and that it happens that way for some patients. Also they were concerned that even though she felt good, she could rupture something inside. I use a timer set to go off every 5 minutes to drink my Water and to make the 2oz meal last. You should talk to your team to make sure you’re not hurting anything.

At a week post-surgery I was told no more than 2 ounces of liquid every 15 minutes. As for activity, I walked a half mile the day after I got out of the hospital and I walked four miles the day after that. It truly depends on how you feel and what your activity level was like pre-surgery. Don't do anything that engages abdominal muscles like crunches or stair running, but I was walking small inclines within days after surgery.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
