blueyz80 29 Posted February 26, 2014 I had my surgery at 8am today and I'm not feeling as bad as I thought. I'm sore but I thought the pain would be worse. I've already gotten up and walked and I even sat in my chair for a while. So I just wanted to key everyone know that surgery went great! 1 hmjdreamingbig reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetmisery86 1 Posted February 26, 2014 I had my surgery on 2/24/14. So i am on day 2 and i am still in pain and having a hard time to get my sips in. I know in a few weeks this will be all worth it. I consistently remind myself that this is one of the hardest and best decisions i can make for my life and health.

I know in a few weeks this will be all worth it. I consistently remind myself that this is one of the hardest and best decisions i can make for my life and health. The first two days r hard. But just hang in there. You don't want to become dehydrated. I'm one week out today and I'm still not 100% it's a process. You'll be fine. 1 lasufri reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll be fine. How did you manage your first week? I am trying to sip either the Isopure or Water every 30 mins and its extremely hard and the gas pains dont make me feel any better.

Mrs.Harkness 36 Posted February 27, 2014 How did you manage your first week? I am trying to sip either the Isopure or Water every 30 mins and its extremely hard and the gas pains dont make me feel any better. I just took it one day at a time. Each day gets a little easier. You can use gas x for the gas pains and walk around as much as you can. Trust me it will get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clairec 44 Posted February 27, 2014 Hi to you all, Hang on in there. I was lucky I didn't have gas pain, or really any pain at all. Getting your fluids up is a challenge I know, as is food. 2 weeks down the line those are still challenges but in every other way I am feeling better, just a bit more tired i think. Take care all of you and see you on the February post op surgery thread soon Claire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
