Tried to do about a 2 oz. crab cake but it did not agree with me and came right back up. Might try something later tonight.

Good luck to the rest of you in April. I had my surgery April 8th so I'm on day 12 post op. struggling with the liquids because that's all it is. Not enough variety, but I'm trying to buy different soups and strain them and purée them just for different tastes. I'm sorry to hear some of you are experiencing pain. It does get better every day. I'm having very little pain at my incision sites but nothing inside. I went bowling today- carefully- and did just fine. Only one game though. Well good luck everyone!! Your day will be here before you know it.

Campbell's light chicken mushroom barley soup.

Congratulations! Hope you are doing well. God speed!

I'm 9 days post op, and tried cottage cheese and mashed potatoes today. YUMMY! Went down and through just fine.

I agree the bumpy roads aren't fun. I did get a binder at the hospital that they said to wear when I'm up and walking and I did the first week but don't think it's necessary anymore. Mine was really uncomfortable and kind of hard to breathe in.

Still on liquids but tried a bite of garlic bread which was a huge mistake. I got plugged and almost threw up but drank a little soda and it helped move it along now I'm sleepy and feeling pretty guilty. These are great posts everyone!! I love to hear the new ideas of what everyone's eating!

Well besides my little whoops earlier I had my one week post op visit with the surgeon and I'm down 5 lbs since surgery and finally under 300 lbs!!!! Got a question for everyone though, I am going to take a stool softener tablet actually you are suppose to take 2-4 of them at a time, so do I need to crush them since I'm still crushing my other meds right now??

I am one week post op and made a boo boo. I tried a bite of garlic bread and got plugged really bad. I took 2 small sips of soda to loosen it and that worked but I'm still feeling really full and bubbly. Won't try that again.

I'm only 6 days out and hungry!! I'm just head hungry though, I think. I can't stand all the food everyone is eating and how food is everywhere!! It's driving me nuts. But to satisfy me I added protein to my water and crystal light and then had strained cream of mushroom soup for dinner. That really helped, I'm really feeling full and got in all of my liquids with no problems today.

I didn't have those tests either. Just nothing by mouth the first day and the second day was 42 oz of liquids started really slowly. I tolerated that just fine and now on day 6 and up to 64 oz.

YUMMY!!

Hello! I am struggling today. I'm on day 6 of post op and I'm hungry. I find myself very crabby and feeling down. I'm sore at my incision sites but nothing too bad. I am experiencing hiccups a few times a day. Not too gassy but I did buy Gas X for that. I started my protein shakes today and it doesn't help with the hunger I'm feeling. Food is EVERYWHERE and it's killing me! It seems like no one else is having this problem either. I'm following the rules and sticking to my clear liquids and getting my 64 oz of liquids in a day. Today I got my monthly friend, which I do not normally get because I am on the Mirena so I think it's messing with my emotions. Please tell me what I should do about the hunger and if anyone else out there is struggling..thanks.

Good luck and many prayers for the people going into surgery today! It'll go good and before you know it you'll be a pot opper!!

Losers bench!! Wow! It's my first post for post oppers. I can't believe I'm here. Well it sounds like everyone is doing well. I will be going home most likely tonight. I'm up and walking and drinking my 2 tablespoons every 15 minutes. Well congrats to everyone on this side! Glad to be here.

Same with my surgeon. I don't have any tests unless something is going wrong.

Hello! I did great with zero complications. I'm in a little pain but its being treated with meds. I had to walk three laps yesterday which was pretty easy. Today I'll have to walk 6-8 laps. I am also going home today around 5pm. Can't believe I'm a post opper!! I hope everyone else's went well and good luck to everyone that's having surgery today! This is so exciting!

Congrats to all the peeps that have had surgery. Sounds like everyone's has gone well. Mine is Monday morning. I have to be there by 5am. I'm so excited and can't wait to be on this side.

Hopefully I can walk 5 miles after surgery! Wow!! I got a question. I'm having surgery Monday morning and wondering if a couple beers are ok to drink tonight? I know my surgeon would probably say no but just wondering if anyone else has done this or knows about it. I'm on a liver reducing liquid diet right now. I start clear liquids in the morning. Probably shouldn't but just wondering what others think about this.

Happy Easter! I hope everyone is doing well and excited for surgery. 9 more days!! Can't wait!!
