[QUOTE="harryowler, post: 1517938, member: 46845"] My surgery has went well and back home convalescing now. I'm on a liquid diet for two weeks now but have no appetite at all, struggling to get enough fluids in me. My blood sugar levels are 5.9 now and stay there mostly, my Bp is down and doctors took me off five of my Bp meds. The operation itself is next to painless, nurses constantly ask what your pain levels are but a one was the best I could give them. It's the anesthetic that throws you and makes your head fuzzy and walking shaky but as each day passes I get stronger and better. I watched my wife and daughter chomp into quiche salad last night and was truly perplexed as to how they could eat all that in one go, I guess my visual appetite has taken a blow as portion sizes were always my downfall. The most soup or yogurt I can eat is quarter of a teaspoonful at a time or your new stomach/pouch is painful. I manage half a small yogurt for lunch and half a tin of soup for tea. I did expect to feel much worse with this procedure but it isn't. [/QUOTE]
