Day 2 Post op

[Maybeme 6]

Still emotional, but I made it through. Home now, having trouble meeting my liquid and Protein goals, but working on it. Hope everyone else is doing well that got banded this week.

I am two days out also. Feeling the gas pains a lot worse today. I'm still on only Clear liquids until tomorrow so I've only averaged 150 calories yesterday and with the track I'm on today I think I'll end up the same.

I am excited to move into full liquids tomorrow and start getting the Protein I need in

Hang in there, the first couple days are rough but it gets a lot easier relatively quickly. You'll be amazed how "normal" you'll feel again within a matter of days.

Best wishes!

The first week is the hardest. It gets easier! Congrats on you surgery!

I agree ... the first week is not the easiest but it gets better in a matter of days. i am two and half week post operative and I feel great. The time will fly by before you know it.

try to keep the gas controlled and take lazitive to get that out of there it will help so much...heating pad is a life saver. This part is the worst and we are all there for you..sleep rest, sip as much as possible. I ate a ton of cream Soup made with Water and of course made my own broth so there was a lot of flavor...you can do this

thanks everyone! You're kind words mean a lot. It so hard some days, people stare at you for having a liquid diet, yesterday one of the nurses aides laughed at my meal they served cause it was pureed chicken with gravy. I'm just overly sensitive, which I never am sensitive, I guess cause it's such a big change. I hit my liquid intake today. so that's good. Thanks again, you guys are the best!
