Second Day Is Better Than Expected

[DerbyGirl4 0]

Hey all! I am finally posting to the forum :-). I had my surgery yesterday and my ab area is a little sore today but I feel good overall. I am just getting nervous about eating again and all the do's and dont's but I understand it is a learning process.

I am glad to be here and hope to get to know everyone on this awesome journey to reclaim my health and life!!

Hi there! I had mine Weds and I know what you mean about eating. I went out with my mom this morning to a coffee shop and realized that I was pretty stuffed after drinking my cup of tea, and wasn't going to get the Soup down. It's very very strange to just stop there and think "Ok, I guess I'm done."

I'm not looking forward to feeling hungry though! And I hear that should start soon...

Please you new gals.....I do not know if you are reading other posts, but alot of you gals are getting constipated....For your own sake. Be carefull. take all precautions not to have this. I know that no one likes to talk about it. But it is better before than after.

Any advice for how to avoid?

Colace is a great preventative. It's a softner, not a stimulant laxative. I started taking it the morning after my surgery and continued to take it daily until I finally "went". I know from past experience that pain killers and anesthetic can really bind you up, so I that's why I started it right away.

If anyone is trying to avoid it, I'd start the Colace immediately.

Oh and congrats to the new bandsters
