@@ready2B no I haven't had very many side effects at all. I guess I should be thanking my luck stars that this is the only one. Its just like I have about twice as much saliva as before. I'm a month out and it just started a few days ago.

Hi everyone! Quick question....did anyone have a lot of saliva after surgery? I have the worst "saliva mouth" since pregnancy!

Hi everyone! Just checking in. I have almost two weeks out from surgery (Nov 24) and amazingly I've been doing pretty good. My struggle is finding things that have enough protein throughout the day. I go to the doctor for a follow up today so maybe the nutritionist can help me. Yesterday I got close, but then I started feeling nauseous so I stopped eating. I do think that the nausea is relates to gas in the pouch as well. Once I got some really good burps out, Ifelt wonderful again. Just a tip that I learned from working in the recovery room at the hospital. keep a couple of alcohol swabs by the bed. When you get nauseous, place one right on the tip of your nose. Something about being able to smell the alcohol helps ease the nausea. I worked for me last night. I hope someone else here finds it helpful. I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well along this journey!

Although all the food looked and smelled amazing yesterday. I had no appetite at all! I ate a little bit of jello and was satisfied. eventhough I'm a few days postop I'm still pretty sore on my left side and have a little swelling at my site, but all in all recovery is going great! i was even able to do some shopping last night! I hope all is well for everyone else!

al,

@@ready2B thanks

surgery tomorrow morning and I'm amazed at how nervous I've become. heading out to get things for my hospital stay. also trying to stick to the liquid diet for today. wish me luck!!!!

Recovery for me was very easy. I was up shopping the next day. I had mine removed after my last pregnancy. I'm kind of happy that I already have it out of the way before surgery.

Hi everyone! My surgery date is November 24th. I'm starting to have a mix of emotions I'm excited but a little nervous at the same time.
