I'm so glad your first full feeling was positive. I had my first full feeling last Sunday but it quickly shifted to over full and I felt sick to my stomache for over an hour. Now when I get close to full I stop and wait to see if my body needs to catch up and tell me I'm full. At this point satisfied is a way better feeling than overfilled lol.

I feel like its one or the other lol protein or water and one gets left out. I'm active starting the gym next week for sure Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Thats good! I think mentally I expected a big number but maybe it's normal. Idk Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

@@TristanNicole I don't know where that page is but I can share what I took. I took my husband lol a comfy pillow, a sweater (zipper) and something loose and comfy to come home in. I didn't know what to expect incision wise but ended up having to buy a sports bra to wear because I had an incision in between my breasts right where the bra band lays. I suggest a thick banded unwired sports bra. I got dry mouth the nurses will give you these swabs that help but a lot of people on here suggest biotene spray, I personally didn't use it but it's a great suggestion.

So I was weighed today I'm 10 days post op and down 14 pounds. Not sure if that's a sufficient amount. Anyone have any weigh-ins or know if I'm in the right track? Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I needed my lungs lol I hated not being able t hold a conversation without getting winded or singing. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk *to Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I was walking around 3 days post op. I made a trip to the mall for a sports bra lol. Walking is good! Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

@@julbel721 I'm actually 10 days post op but congrats on day 4, how are you doing? I still just want some chicken lol. But I'm really starting to feel like me again and that makes me so happy. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I'm ready for chicken lol Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I feel the same way I'm so tired of protein shakes, but it's a must. Just stay positive that's what I've been doing. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

October 7th. I'm doing good with a setback. My sisters dog jumped on my stomache 6 days post op. I'm feeling better now. How are you? Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I had horrible dry mouth after surgery. My surgeon said to just keep sipping water. I would rinse my mouth out with water. I know biotene is a mouthwash made specifically for dry mouth so that may help. The dry mouth goes away after a while. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

I've been doing ok. Having a hard time getting my fluids in. Even a sip hurts. And lacking energy. I'm hoping after my appt today I will be able to start introducing pureed foods. But on the plus side I'm down 15 pounds since the surgery. How about you?I haven't weighed in since the saturday before surgery. I'm doing a lot better today than 2 days ago. I try to sip constantly and really schedule eating, which has been a battle because I go to school fulltime and keeping a protein shake cold is hard. I'm still on shakes and haven't transitioned to any other foods but I do have broth and jello if I need a flavor switch. I walk constantly but plan on going to the gym tonight to get on a treadmill. Today I'm going to try to get some protein20 which will help me get to my protein goal a lot easier and worry free. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk Good for you! I've noticed on here that it seems like everyone's process before and after surgery are quite different. Like me, my first week was strictly sugar free clear liquids and now this week until week 5 I go to pureed and soft proteins like shakes and mashed up egg whites and stuff. Guess all the end results are the same right? Keep doing what you're doing and hope to keep in touch throughout this journey!Yes I've noticed the diet differences too. I think it varies surgeon to surgeon. Yea you too I hope transitioning to food is easy and not nauseous. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

@@CHLOE12 I'm 8 days post op and it gets easier my gas pain lasted 4-5 days now its gas without the discomfort. I honestly think everyone heals differently. I found this support group a few days ago and went into surgery not knowing anything. It's great having people to talk to that are going through the same thing or just here to give advice. Good luck on your journey and don't worry you'll be fine. Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

@@edie091371 I'm the same way I experience discomfort when I drink cold anything. But like you said warm protein drinks are not yummy at all lol Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk

Im looking forward to soup lol

@@soonergirl619 how are you doing with everything?

Ok jist checking *just

Soup even in the 1st few weeks?

@@Serenity924 thank you. Its a challenge to figure out eating at school especially with the heat the protein drinks get warm and eew. Hope hope to work transition for you is easy. I'm up and out today because I know I need to walk so a few errands and back home to rest is my plan for the day

I'm still in pain I have 6 incisions. I'm walking and trying to drink as much protein shakes as I can bear. At this point I'm sick of them! Any tips? Any suggestions? I still haven't learned what hunger feels like I just where I feel depleted almost and need a recharge. I go to college and today after sitting through 1 class (1hr 30min)it was hard to sit through the 2nd without feeling discomfort in my abdominal area. I think I still have gas. So if any one has some tips, suggestions, words of encouragement, or comments please leave them. I don't know anyone who has had this procedure and feel alone during this process. Thank you.
