Hi! I am starting postop day #3 with full liquids. So far so good. Gas pains are not as bad as I anticipated and seem to be lessening a bit. I get up and walk around house quite a bit so that must be helping. No nausea (knock on wood). Hop your day goes well

Congrats and welcome to Bandster land. Follow your post-op instructions and a heating pad helps with shoulder pain.

Hello everyone!

Today is my one week post op so far I have lost 16 lbs total. I have had some rough spots a couple of times I started crying from hunger. I am not sure I am doing the post op diet correctly. I had my surgery done in Houston, TX by Dr. Kenneth Hollis. Please let me know if anyone else is having the same problems. I had surgery last Thursday went to work the Monday, and Tuesday after I got sick that afternoon so I took off two more days to be safe. I tried to vomit but nothing came up. So let me know if anyone else are having these problems.

I'm so excited for tomorrow. I should be able to start puréed foods. My doc has me on 5 meals each of 3 oz of liquid (protein or juice or my vegetarian jello). The rest of the day is all Water all day.

I'm actually feeling really good today. I get to shower tomorrow and couldn't be happier about it.

I am feeling hungry though. Nothing too bad but it's creeping back.

Any tips for keeping hunger at bay at this stage?
