I am home resting. First day was a lot of pain but it is now manageable. I have 6 incision 4 small ones and 2 large one. Looks like the made the incision where I had my gallbladder removed.

I am onto pureed, but 2 spoonfuls of yogurt fills me up. I am sipping water, everything else taste like syrup. No head hunger and I am uninterested in eating. The team at Mt. Sinai hospital NYC was absolutely amazing.

Sounds like you're doing well! Good to hear!

Glad you're home and doing well. Take care.

Congratulations! I hope you have a speedy recovery ?

Doesc water taste funny to you? It tasted sweet to me. It has changed now, but was weird how things tasted so different.

Congrats! Hope you get to feeling better soon!

I started out thinking it tasted sweet like weak Kool-aid, now it tasted bitter. almost like the taste of bile refluxed up. Now what caused that? Wish I knew.

Hi Gaby,

Water is my best friend. Everything else taste like syrup.

WELCOME TO THE OTHER SIDE CONGRATULATIONS I HOPE THE PAIN FADES FAST AND HEALING HAS BEGUN WATER AND WALKING WILL BE THE FASTEST WAY TO RECOVERY CHEERS HAPPY FOR YOU !

Glad it went well!

I just started the process yesterday w|Dr Park at Mount Sinai!

@curlygirlgetsfitCongratultions on your journey, you are in good hands at Mt. Sinai. My surgeon was Dr.Dong and I cant say enough good things about he and his staff. If you are uptown, and you can please come to the class in June lots of information. They also have a FB group.

Wishing you the best.

Congrats Susie! My first 24 hours were rough too. It's been great since then. And water is great for me as well. I think I've had a total of 1.5 of the protein shakes since the surgery. I liked them before - now just the idea of them sounds disgusting. I'm hoping that will pass eventually as they're a great source of protein.

I couldn't tolerate them after surgery, because they were just to sweet. I now have one a day just to get in the the 30 grams of protein, because I don't think there is enough hours in the day for me to get in 60-64grams from food plus 64oz water.

I drink pretty much only water at this point. if I am low on protein I have a shake for dinner.
