mavsfan3521,

I completely understand about not being able to eat certain foods again, but I know it will be worth it!

My surgery went very well. I am 4 days post op. I still have soreness in my navel area (incision site) the other 4 areas are healing properly. I WALK AS MUCH I CAN and DRINK as much as I can tolerate to stay hydrated(its very easy to become dehydrated). My appetite is slim to NONE. The Protein Shake, Soups, crystal light and diet cranberry juice from the hospital are my new besties. I have tried the mushy foods (I know its early) 1 teaspoon salmon, 1 teaspoon refried Beans, 2teaspoons mashed potatoes... my stomach tolerated them all. My main issue is MY FAMILY MEMBERS are unhealthy eaters which can make you feel like giving up on your own goal to weight loss. Collard greens, bbq ribs, cornbread, mac n cheese are just NOT on the menu and being around these types of food is hard to say "no" unless YOU have prepared yourself.

My surgery went good although when I woke up I said to myself what did I get myself in to.. I was in pain and am allergic to hydrocodone... but later on that day it hot easier when I started walking. .its like the walking helped a lot. Monday will be a week for me and the other day I tried 3 Ritz crackers and my tummy did not approve of that yet I hope.. I felt like it got stuck and it took as long time ti digest. . Will not do that again till my doctor says so. ..
