Dij2514 0 Posted March 4, 2014 Did u have any issues getting ur liquids or food in? For me liquids was good. I was more sore of course but that's cause the surgery was fresh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodie602 16 Posted March 4, 2014 Hey everyone. I know my surgery was open (not laparoscopic) but I'm still not feeling it. I can barley get up by myself still. This is horrible. I have a high tolerance for pain but I'm still soooo sore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bodie602 16 Posted March 4, 2014 When did u have It ? on the 27th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabyola10 0 Posted March 4, 2014 Just the 27?? No wonder, mine was laparoscopy and it took me at least a week to start feeling better. I had a lot of pain because the gas was trapped and I had a very hard time getting rid of it. Just wait and you will feel better, I know how it sounds but I was there, it took a little more than others but now I feel good. My surgery was 2/11 and I am still having trouble with the Protein and liquids but I keep working on it. Be positive!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LindseyHeth 44 Posted March 4, 2014 Hey guys! I am now 1 week post-op! I have lost 10 lbs since surgery 2/25! I am still on Clear Liquids and still getting to know my pouch. My first follow up with the surgeon is on Monday. I've not had too much pain and I get around and do most things by myself, except for lifting. I feel so bad for the people on here that have had trouble with straining abdominal incisions. I simply can not wait to move on to puréed diet! Also, I know my calorie intake is very low, but I can not wait to start back doing my Insanity workouts! I feel like I'm being lazy sitting on the couch! Too much ice and snow outside to do any walking. I hope that everyone continues to make strides in recovery! No one's story is the same and some have more complications than others. Just take it day by day and remember why you decided to go on this journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bodie602 16 Posted March 4, 2014 Oh wow that is real soon. We'll congrats and how Is the healing going ? Are Are the bandages off yet ? Were u stapled ??the healing seems to be going slow. He cut over the top of my other scar and maybe that's why it's so sore. It goes from my chest bone to about 8 inches down the middle of my belly. No they didn't staple. It is dissolving stitches.
