Well I didn't get out of the house till day 5 and I stayed out for 4 hrs. When I got home I was supper tired. I didn't start feeling real good till day 4 I had so much gas pain. Every day my diet changes like yesterday I had mashed potato for dinner!!! I was super excited, ate too fast and it felt like it was getting stuck. Now I know what that feeling was when I was eating too fast, because I know I take eraser size bites. I have not felt full yet I am too scared to find out. A lot of my diet has been tomato soup. I work for a Head Start company and we have been in trainings and will be for the next 2 weeks. It was hard yesterday to watch all my friends and co-workers all day cater meals. I kinda feel " here I am the looser bring her lunch and smelly protein drinks". I just have one incision that is tender and makes me sleep on my back still. I am a stomach sleeper so its hard to fall asleep.

They had me up and walking that day. About 3 days after I went to Target and did some shopping for my sisters birthday. I was tired when I came home but didn't hurt that bad. I did cream soup for 2 weeks. By the end of that 2nd week I told myself I never want soup again!! LOL This week moved to meats and I'm like you so scared to eat to much. But you can tell when you start to get full it's gets ucomfortable and I just try to stop before it gets to that point. Do you know when we can drink out of a straw again?

I feeling better today on the inside I still have a lot of gurgling noises. I am so scared I am going to eat or drink too much. I talked to the Dr today about how much I should be taking in and he said that they put more on the diet because people were getting dehydrated. He said that I was doing a good job just sip sip sip. Today I can have yogurt and creamy soup, that's for the next 3 days. I have been using the bath towels that the hospital gave me to keep clean. So today will be my first shower since the surgery. I'm a little scared I am gonna hurt my self. How much were you up and walking after your surgery?

I am so happy for you that surgery went so well! How are you feeling? I have been to Southlake a couple time for work purposes. That is a really nice city. What do you get to eat the week after that? Right now I have finally made it to refried beans, eggs, tuna...that sort of thing. Doesn't take a lot to fill me up though.
I am glad you are doing good! Keep up the good work and if you need anything hollar!

Omg I feel the same way! my diet says to have a cup of broth but i cant get it all down. It took me an hour just to get a cup of jello down. I just feel so full what should I do? I was sleeved on Monday. -
Things have been going well I try to get up a lot and walk around the house. We have 2 dog one dog who likes to paw you( 74lbs) and the other will jump(41lbs) so I have been guarding my self with a fly-swatter. I think they know I am in pain and that I have some wounds so they have been trying to sniff me a lot. Over all they are being really good! My boyfriend has been so helpful with all my needs and very supportive. I have been scared about eating to much or drinking to fast. I have been trying to pace myself very slowly. I keep getting gurgle feelings inside my stomach and I hope that I won't have to throw up. Has anyone else experienced these gurgle feelings after surgery? If anyone wants to comment or chat hit me up.

My surgery went great. I have liquid for 5 days and then add mushy food. That's great you have lost 22 lbs. Dr. Sewell in southlake did my surgery. total cost for my surgery is $16,000 that's with a year visits with the Dr. and 6 months with the dietitian and group therapy. I am having a 23 hour stay a the hospital and will be released tomorrow. The Dr. said they did my surgery in 45 mins when it normally it takes 1hr to 1hr. and 15mins. He wishes he would have video taped it because it went so smoothly.

Well the surgery went well and I am still in the hospital with some unconformable pain. I am fighting too keeping my eyes open. I can go home tomorrow morning and my boyfriend took off the whole week of work to bee with me. It's he wonderful! I have made 2 trips to the bathroom and now I am sitting up in the chair I think I will stay here and take another nap. Anesthesia was so weird I was awake talking to the nurse and next thing i know i wake up with lots of pain. Every 10 min or so they would give me pain meds threw my iv. Then the Dr. said i could have a shot and o-man that brought me down to a 5 on pain, with a pain level from 1-10. Dr. Sewell said the wished he had video taped my surgery because it went so smooth, there was minimal bleeding, and it was "picture-book" quality. I will keep you updated.:tongue_smilie:
