I had surgery the 18th the past 3 days I've had excruciating pain when I lean over, bend, roll over , turn, wit to urinate etc.. called surgeon yesterday morning and he wanted me to come in.. its warm to touch under my right side of my belly button and below. He believed it was appendicitis, 6 hours later in ER they found nothing in testing of blood or cat scan but sent me home with an antibiotic because my urine was somewhat cloudy.. the iv's and pain meds provided helped while there but soon wore off as soon as I got home. The pain is still horrendous, but I'm doubling up on my norco which I've only taken two at this point. My post op is Tuesday and I pray my "unexplainable" pain goes away...

Okay today I am one week postop and everyday it gets a little easier. I am sooo happy I made this decision and only regret was that I didn't do it sooner! ! My stomach is still sore sometimes but its nothing I have to take pain meds for. I have noticed I have to take my low dose pepcid twice a day instead of the everyother day that I was doing preop. Yesterday I did great getting my fluids in and I made some new concoctions. I blended up Trader Joes clam chowder Soup. 1/4 of a cup and I was full! Yesterday was the first time I went back to school after a weekbof due to Spring Break. I have never felt better. I see my surgeon next Tuesday and I KNOW this surgery has already made a difference in me

Wow! I'm so glad I found this!! I had my surgery March 18th! I'm so glad there is a support group! I can't make this weekend but the weekend after ill be there!!

We had surgery the same day and yesterday I made a very thin like hummus, it killed me. Infant drops have helped and then I boight gasx strips u put on ur tongue. I took two. Worked fast!

I am so sorry you feel so bad! It definitely gets better! I had a crazy day yellin at my sons baseball game so that kinda hurt my tummy, but while there I got in about 30oz worth of my almond milk and chocolate Protein shake. I can't wait til I can start to eat real food. Its not like I crave it but I think I want the taste ya know? I still haven't weighed myself, I think ill wait til my post op visit on the 1st. But I do feel like I have lost weight, I notice it in my chest and shoulders and my hands. Its crazy. I hope things get better for you♥

DAY 4 POST OP I had beef broth for "dinner" not going to happen for a while! I could hardly sleep it felt like it filled up in my chest, I had gas and was really bloated! I took a norco and milacon for some relief! I had a busy day yesterday so I don't know if that contributed to that! No nap up and at it all day! Good note I got in a lot of fluid and starting to read when my body ks "hungry". I hope this chocolate almond milk protein shake I made does the trick!

I had surgery the 18th also! I feel awesome today, this morning not so much. I had to get active. We walked around walmart and I plan on going to my sons baseball game this evening. I feel like I'm not getting enough liquids in but I'm trying hard since I have no desire! I feel a difference already! My shoulders and waist, even though I'm still really really bloated!! I'm glad we can go through this together!

U go girl!! U look awesome! !

We had surgery the same day!! How are you feeling today? I probably got in one Protein shake and an additional 25oz. Not easy. Have to stand up to sip and stay that way for awhile. I hope you try and take your pain meds too, and move! I must admit picking my son up from preschool with my mom kicked my butt since we went to 711 after for his slurpee. The in and out of the car part wore me out. Let me know how your doing! What was your starting stats? Mine is 244# and I'm 5'5

Steve, I'm drinking the Protein shakes from costco. I got one down yesterday. Ill work on two today, I like them really cold but its difficult with the sleeve. When was your surgery? How's your pain? I still have to stand to "eat" or I feel it gets stuck and its very painful. I've only taken two norcos so far, one around 4pm and another at 230am. Now @@close to 7 I feel like my actual stomach is hurting... when I get up for good ill try some applesauce... I just wany my stomach to feel normal..

Hi Guys! My kids just left for school so I can try and take in some fluid. I woke up every 3 hours to use the bathroom, I feel bloated still like I'm pregnant and had my first BM sorry if its TMI IT Sure wasn't solid, my body is still gassy. I have no desire to "eat" but the smell of food makes me sick, my four year old doesn't understand any of it and my two year old is obsessed with my incisions. Ill see how today goes, but I feel better already. this wasn't easy but I have to look further than right now...

I'm doing a lot better now. What a difference a few hours makes. I'm pretty sure I'm stuck on hospital clock though. I'm up now and don't know what to do with myself. I'm trying to take in fluids when ican. The fruit protein powder I got sent home with disgusts me so ill have to twerk that!

I had surgery Tuesday morning at 7:30 am, I woke up in a lot of pain asking for my hubby. They gave me Morphine and some anti nausea meds! My nurses were awesome at JOHN MUIR CONCORD. My surgeon is Dr Brian Chin. I felt like I got ran over by a truck yesterday, and today this morning I felt the same way. But this afternoon I had color, and was able to do many laps on my floor. Saw my surgeon and got to leave ! I'm home now. Had a nap and drinking peppermint tea. I started this journey @244#'s and I'm 5'6.. and. 31 year old female
