The first 3 days of liquids were tough for me, just get through those sugar withdrawals and you’ll be fine! By day 4 I felt normal again. I lost 10lbs during those 2 weeks so that was a great incentive to keep chugging along! Good luck :-)
I am 2 days post op and have had very little pain. I only took the narcotics on day 1 because I was having horrible back pain from the position I was in during surgery. I came home today and took one dose of Tylenol for some mild pain this afternoon. I didn’t have any gas pain either. I’ve eaten tiny quantities of soft foods today without issue.
