Follow your doctor's orders. Sip water until you feel like you can't drink anymore and then get another glass. Walk around as much as possible, but get plenty of rest too! -
I have lost enough weight that I can reach around to my back and unhook my bra....hoorah!

What an injustice. You are the patient/customer. You need to stand up for yourself and your rights. You should report this incidence to the doctor and if there's no change then report it to his/her boss. I bet the administration would not tolerate this PA treating you that way. They want your money or your insurance's money Good luck and hang in there! -

Hang in there everyone. By day 4 or 5 you'll feel sooo much better!!!

I was Jan. 17 too. Seeing and smelling food will never taste as good as it feels to be thin Keep up the good work!

I hope you both are doing well. I'm still trying to figure out how to use this darn group I've created. Today is 4 weeks since I started my preop diet and I'm one week postop and down 30 lbs. Yeah. Still a long way to go though!

My port hurt for about 3 days and is now just uncomfortable. I'm 6 days post op. As for gas, chewable gas x worked a little for me but mostly walking helped the best.

Oooops I meant pain is NOT the right word for me
-
Pain is the right word for me. I was in a great deal of discomfort, mostly from being blown up with CO2 for the surgery. My first three days post op were not fun, but on my 5th day now, I'm feeling soooo much better. I did and will continue to walk walk walk!

Good luck to you all...see you on the other side!

I'm not going to lie. It's one of the hardest things you'll ever do. I'm 5 days post op. Once you're in your second week pre op and you see yourself losing weight, it will give you the strength to keep going. I lost 17 lbs on the pre op diet. You need to stick to the diet because mentally after the surgery you need to be able to cope with not eating (drinking liquids) as much. You'll have a couple days of "bandster hell" and then you'll start feeling better and stronger each day. Hang in there. It's all worth it! Oh, and exercise...don't overdo it...just walk walk walk walk walk
