Hi Chelsea, You will be sore for a bit, but just take it easy if you can. I found that putting an ice pack on my abdomen helped a bit. The nurses in the hospital suggested that. The gas pain will go away as well, walk around and move as much as you can tolerate as it will help move the gas outta there! Do not stress so much about the Fluid, just sip all the time. You will be able to increase it each day. I know it seems like you are drinking a swimming pool full of water! (at least it did for me). The good news is that each day gets a little easier Hang in there and relax when you can. Good Luck to you!!

I too am a bit over 5 weeks post-op, and YES it is very scary. Once it is all done you will be okay and be looking forward to the new you. Good Luck!

Thank you for sharing your story. I can relate to so many of the things you have said. Congrats on your decision to change your life, you are going to do amazing!

Congrats you look incredible! I am a little over a month out and I hope I can be as successful as you!

Sultaz, I too had my surgery 1/29/2014! I am also new here and just feeling my way around. Congrats on all your success! You seem really focused and I am sure you will keep it up!
