Had my surgery on 10/11/2016 ( November,10th). On the day of surgery I weighed 133kgs (293lbs, 20.9st).
A few hours after the surgery, I was extremely tired and I tried drinking Water...Jesus! I vomitted like I was about to die! I could hardly sip anything for two days. Two or three sips and I was so done!
Once I got home (November,12th) my mum made me some nice chicken broth and I took my time with it and it went down just fine.
From that point on, I've been fine. No issues with recovery thus far. I have not had to take any pain medication whatsoever and this was the case since the hospital. I haven't weighed myself as I feel bloated and I have not moved my bowel since surgery. My DR has prescribed me a liquid laxative that I keep forget to take as its too syrupy sweet
