I am one week post op and must say everything is much better than I expected. I feel great and am down 13 pounds. I expected to have pain, and be weak from the liquid diet but that isnt the case. The shoulder pain I had was minimal and I haven't had it since day 2 or 3. Incisions are healing quickly and I am only slightly tender around the port area. Hunger has been minimal and I have felt satisfied with what I am able to eat so far.
