Feeling great!

Hi Everyone,

I had my surgery on April 1. Feeling really good except for my tummy feeling really bloated. Very black and blue around my insicions as well. Really, the surgery itself was a breeze.

I'm so excited and thrilled that I did this. I feel that my new baby tum and I are going to do just fine.

Did anyone else out there have surgery on the 1st. of April.

Would love to hear from you.

Abby :tt1:

I had mine on April 1st. I am feeling good. Not too hungry and am full on a carnation instant Breakfast with skim milk. Popsicles are tasting fabulous, sugar free of course. My tummy is still super sore but I am able to get in and out of bed and I just loaded and unloaded the dishwasher!

I too was banded on April 1st. I am doing okay..I am not hungry at all and am actually having to force down the Protein Drinks and yogurt...my tummy is still quite sore, it definitely takes effort to get off the couch or out of bed. It's mostly just my port site that hurts...even more than pain though...they are red and itchy...really itchy!!!!

I am glad you ladies are doing well...8 lbs down since surgery..I can hardly believe it!!!

I had my surgery on 4/2. I am doing pretty good as long as I keep my pain medication on about an every 6hr schedule. The discomfort when getting in and out of the chair or bed is decreasing daily, mainly feel this over my port site. The diet is going great, the first few days I couldn't eat over a couple of table spoons of anything, now I can eat 1/4-1/3 cu. at my meals. I have been having several small meals and haven't had any problem getting in all of my Protein. I have been adding beneprotein to my crystal light and coffee and also as a protein booster to my slimfast shakes. I am actually starting to have an appetite and really like the sugarfree fudgesicles. My kids made a roast with potatoes and carrots yesterday, I blended it up and it tasted pretty good (just didn't look very appetizing). I think things are going much better than I anticipated!! Good luck to you all!!

I had my surgery on April 1st. I was pretty sore especially around the port site. Today, I am able to move around much more freely and almost have my spunk back. I am starving and having a hard time deciding if I am full or gas pains....Also having a hard time getting all of my liquids in since I am hungry, I am eating instead of drinking every hour.
