Three Days Post Op

[FXDF2008 14]

I am now three days post op. (Former band patient that eroded, band removed last March). Was in the hospital two days. I'm sore, mostly in my lower back (probably from laying down so much) and my large incision (where they removed my stomach) really hurts when I move the wrong way. I was able to start yogurt and applesauce today along with my non-calorie fluids and Protein Shakes. Those seem to be going down well. I can eat about an ounce at a time right now. I'm not hungry at all. Some things taste a little different but not horrible. (My vanilla shake tasted more like coconut). I was able to get a shower today which really helped! I still get tired easily. I get up and do something then go sit for a while. Struggling to get the fluids and Protein in but I was terrible at hydrating myself pre-surgery. I weighed a couple of lbs more when I came home from the hospital but that has disappeared and I've dropped a lb. I'm hoping to be a little stronger tomorrow. Besides the initial discomfort, so far so good. Ready to get back to normal!

Congrats! I am 4 days post op. Unfortunately it sounds like my surgeon and nut are a little more conservative than yours. I am on Clear Liquids through tomorrow. I have lost 15 lbs since my pre op appointment on Jan 2nd. Good luck on your journey! Sounds like you are doing great!!
