I had surgery 10/3.... I have shrimp everyday during lunch... Pretty good, i usually can only eat one piece.... Good source of protein too

Omg i feel same way but i feel it would be rude to tell people unless they asked. Im 3 weeks post op

Katie, i feel the same way. I had my surgery 10/3, and i honestly do not miss the food but i am feeling hopeless and i dont understand why. Lately i find myslf feeling angry, confused and lost. I dont know whats wrong ith me. I was always a happy cheerful person and i feel sooooo ugly..... I think im going to seek counseling.....

Wishing you a quick recovery !!!

Thats wonderful.....

You look beautiful!!! How tall r u? We started at same weight.... I hope i do as well as you

I had surgery 10/3, i feel stabbing pain in left side, hurts really bad, hurts to breath... anyone else experience this? I thought i was healing great and all of a sudden i have this pain... I took pain killer today ( i tried so hard to stay away from them).... Is this normal. Anyone else feel same? Aside from the pain, i am able to eat and drink without any problem..... Im scared

I feel just like you robyn..... Im really sticking to diet but i was soooo sick of the shakes and same soft food.... I too had 2 crackers before my 4 week period, i do not care what anyone says, it made m feel better and got me back on track to my high protein diet. im only human. My surgery was oct 3.

Im 2 weeks post op..... I feel like my marriage is slowly dying...... Too many arguments due to my surgery.... Very high emotions....... I honestly think its going to end...(. Sigh)

Thank you for posting this, im debating going to emergency room, left side hurts to touch, breath, im in pain.... I dont know if its normal or not..... Wht have i done to myself, my surgery was oct 3rd......:/

im still in hospital, i had surgery oct 3 and let me tell you its the most painful experience of my life. Nothing i read prepared me for the physical pain that followed. I woke up after 3 hrs of surgery in extreme abdominal pain, i have a high tolerance for pain, but this pain was so debilitating, so out of this world. I also woke up unable to breath, like my lungs werent able to function, i had so much morphone pumped into me that all i did was sleep. That first night they wanted me to walk , thats impossible when your pumped with so much painkillers that u dont know who you are. After much convincing i took 4 steps and just about fainted/ vomited. i cannot keep emphazising. the pain. For two days the tried to get me to walk, impossible as i could brealy breath on my own, alot of flem came out of my lungs after a while. the want me to sip, its impossible because i take a sip of gataroda and im about ready to vomit. I cannot stand the smell or look of food... its day 3 and im trying to walk but gas pains are unbearable i begged for gasx..... im feeling a little better but there is no way im ready to go home. Mind you i m at the fanciest hospital in new york city and with all that ive still had complications. Im only 100 lbs overweight and very healthy before surgery. only 3 day clear liquid diet. im in so much pain, i hope/ pray i get better... srry for typing errors im in hosp on pain meds. cornell med center, and before i forget to mention my less than supportative husband has Not visited me once in hospital.... unreal

im sorry to hear this, i pray you get better. Did you have any symptons of anything wrong at the beginning? or did you just wake up one day and couldnt drink/ eat? thanks

I am 5 days post op, i wear it everyday all day long? Anyone else?

So i took binder off yesterday to see how my stomach muscles are holding up after my surgery , which was oct 3rd, let me tell u i was in extreme pain..... Its a necessity, i must wear it.... My stomach muscles hurt sooooo bad without it..... Im scared long term

I have this problem and its not going away...

Ok so i am 6 days post op and doc started us immediately on soft food from day i left hospital.... I blend wendys chilli..the large bowel has 24grams of protein.... I make three meals out of one bowel and its delicious!!!!

Thank you so much, i just got on scale and it says i lost 9lbs..... Thanks for pepp talk

Awwww congrats..... Hope you feel better soon

Glad your doing well.... Hope you have speedy recovery...

Glad to hear ur ok
