Hang in there! In a few months this will all be a distant memory.

Side note... Did your surgeon write YES across your tummy?

I have to ask-why did your surgeon write Yes on your tummy?

Pain pain pain nausea nausea nausea. 2 days of HELL.

Not sure why he wrote that.

Anyone considering should be prepared for the possibility of what I just went through.

I had a Lap Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) and its painful but each day got better. My Sleeve June 21 so at least I know what to expect I don't know if that's a good or bad thing I hope you feel better soon !!

As soon as I came home I was able to start pureed foods, but I stuck with Clear Liquids yesterday.

Today I had a vanilla Premier Protein shake, took about 3 hours to complete the 11oz. I have been sipping on Water and wylers light pink lemonade.

For lunch I had 2oz of puréed chicken and rice, very yummy. First actual food since Sunday, still amazes me. I did remember to stop drinking 30 mins before and start 30 mins after eating.

I was given 1oz medicine cups before leaving the hospital and that's what I ate my lunch out of with a baby spoon. These utensils were very helpful with eating and it took me 30 mins to eat.

Hmmm. It's strange because drinking more than regular sips doesn't bother me at all. And I have really bad hunger pains still. Maybe I have a huge sleeve? I named him Bob. Haha.

Bob is hungry but my doc says 3 weeks of liquids. :/
