The recovery is tough the first few days, to be honest. But once you are moving around and start going to the bathroom again, you feel a lot better. The first bowel movement was scary to me because I didn’t know if it would hurt. It was not terrible, and I was SO happy things were working! The 4th surgery where they did the Deloyers procedure, I was only in for 6 days, then home. Didn’t have much of an appetite for several days, still stuck mostly to the Boost Breeze, then added some pudding, jello etc. My first actual solid meal was pancakes. At that point, I had been on clear liquids for over a month, so those pancakes were heavenly!
