So today has been a tough afternoon emotionally and mentally. I feel pretty alone, because I am going through this major change and no one else in my life is, which can feel very isolating. All my loved ones are supportive, and it's hard for anyone close to me to understand what I'm going through. I feel so lucky to have a place like this to let things out but it's been difficult just thinking of all my friends out eating, drinking & enjoying the day when I'm sitting on the couch alone is various states of discomfort. The fact that I'm about 15mins from starting my period probably isn't helping my pity party, but sometimes you've got to let things out to feel better. I just have to remind myself to be patient and know if will all be worth it in the end!

Hello! So I can start eating regular foods again next week and I am just wondering what some people started with? What were your first meals? Thanks for any advice & help!

I feel the exact same way right now!

I had mine on 4/18 too! I'm feeling ok today, lots of burping and some indigestion pain, but I believe that's because I'd stopped taking my nexium but my surgeon told me to go ahead and take it. So I'm hoping that helps with the pressure. Just ready to keep healing, I know these first 2 weeks can be the worst!
