I felt a sharp pain right under my left rib...called the doctor and he said that sometimes he wil hit the rib bone with the camera and that my exercising probably aggravated it and to back off the exercises till the bruising had more time to heal...always call, there is no question to small ;)

After my surgery. ..the doctor said the loose bowels would be my green light to transition to pureed food - happened on day 7 after the surgery....as far as pre surgery. .my liquid diet was only 7 days...not sure if this helps. FYI - try buying cottonelle wipes. ..they are really soothing to a very tender body part.

I really like that visual. I has always been told to drink water before and during a meal to help you feel full and struggled with why no drinking from my surgeon..wow. ..now I get it.

Then I Remember the 10 other times I lost weight and regained it and more back. ...love hearing the support on this…
