First 2 days were a nightmare. So much pain from the gas and nausea like you wouldn't believe. Spent the whole day after the surgery with my head in an bucket to put it nicely. Actually got sick during my swollow test. Now I'm home on day 3 and I'm feeling so much better! Still have pain (they gave me an ice bag to put on my stomach which is literally a savior) I haven't met any of my liquid goals yet but I don't think they expect you to. I got sick once today but it was my own fault. I forgot for 5 mins i just lost a portion of my stomach and took too big of a drink of Water. If you get sick, don't let it discourage you. It's not going to last forever ! Good luck !!

Don't try to eat bacon. It gave me severe heart burn.
