Had my surgery September 24th

I had my surgery on September 24th with Dr Baranov at Saratoga Hospital. I've been home now for 2days and feeling great.

My recovery has been easy, not too much pain and just getting to know the limits of my new pouch.

I'm drinking/sipping Water, taking in 1-2oz of Protein Shake 3 times a day and walking at least 30 minutes 2 times per day.

I feel fantastic and can't wait for more days to come. My husband, my son and my parents have been a big part of this journey and I think because of their support I'm doing so well.

So glad to hear you are doing well. Keep up the good work. I am not far behind you, surgery will be October 7th.

I also had my surgery Sept 24th! I'm still amazed at how quickly I was able to get up walking around with no pain. I'm still on Clear Liquids for 2 more days but taking them in well and no nausea thus far.

Best of luck with your journey!

Wow, I'm impressed you are having shakes the first week! My surgeon only allows clear liquid for 7 days. Which for me is Isopure and Water. Actually got sick off the isopure and had to stop. Now I'm just having water and fat free chicken broth. Start 2nd week tomorrow and can't wait to have a shake! 2nd week is full liquids.
