I am 6 weeks out today have lost 30# I too have been stuck at 208 for over a week. I can't wait to be under 200. I am getting frustrated as well

Hi all. I am just over 4 weeks post op. I feel good however....when I drink fluids especially water, I get a feeling of fullness then like air bubbles come up it only lasts a few minutes. I get a sort of nausea feeling. I'm noticing now too when I eat (I am on regular foods now). I know my body is changing and adjusting but I seriously want to gag when I drink anything. I can't stand the feeling I get. I don't notice it too much when I drink my protein shake because it is little thicker consistency. Does anyone have any similar issues and will this resolve eventually? Thanks!

Thanks for the info

Thanks everyone. I hope the nausea subsides and now with it doing it with food I'm worried my opening may be too narrow. Guess I wait and see but after one bite I lose my appetite. Just weird it just started happening the past week

Welcome!!

wow congrats you look great!!

I am a stomach sleeper too. My doctor told me I could sleep on my stomach at my one week (actually 8 days) fu appt. Oh my gosh it was heaven. Just be easy it may feel a little uncomfortable but I just switched back and forth now I sleep on my stomach all night...day 10 .

Praying for a speedy recovery!

So happy for you! I went Friday too. Lost 15 pounds so far since coming home last Saturday. My surgeon said to try pureed for 2-3 days then on Monday I can advance to soft!!! So happy ) he also said I could sleep on my stomach....heaven!! I tried scrambled egg yesterday and tolerated it only 5 bites but it was sooooo good! Keep me posted, love hearing how you are doing

Hi everyone I am 7 days post op and will be starting pureed Friday. Does anyone have fresh ideas other than yogurt, cottage cheese, pudding etc. Any ideas would be so greatly appreciated. Are we allowed anything with sauce and ricotta or has anyone tried stuff like this? Thanks!

I go on Friday for my 1 week follow up I am going to ask him for sure! It will be heaven as well as getting this drain out! Hopefully Friday nite I can sleep on my stomach and have drain removed!!! I think I can start pureed too ) thank goodness

It's rough for sure. One thing I do miss is sleeping on my stomach! The little things ♡

How is everyone doing? I'm OK had great day yesterday although think I over did it today not so much. Had cottage cheese chewed really well. I tolerated it but now having terrible gas pains. Ugh.....hope you all are doing well on the brighter side

Hi all. The nurses told me not to weigh myself for a few days at least after surgery. I would not show loss because of all the iv fluids they pumped in me at hospital. So I am just curious when any of you noticed weight loss after surgery? Like did you wait a week to weigh yourself? Thanks!

I feel your pain! My face swelled up my eye swelled shut so I quit taking pain med. Hopefully that was it. Swelling is going down after 3 doses of benadryl. I had my period to during my hospital stay, that was not fun going to the bathroom every hour with an IV pole, leads from heart monitor IV tubing everywhere and a drain hanging from my right side. I'm struggling now it's day 5 now but the gas pain I had earlier was awful!! Hoping for a better day without swelling and going to try some shakes today (peanut butter!) Hope you are getting better. We got this just a few hoops to jump through:)

I am 4 days out and today started having what I believe are gas pains. They come about every 3 minutes then pass right across the top of my stomach so I'm a little worried. I can't lay on my side or stomach which is what I'd normally do so anyone have suggestions? Is this normal?? Please help

Very tough evening with pain and gas. Very uncomfortable. Was able to walk a lot which helped. Think I get to go home today !!!!

I was just able to start drinking fluids. The pain is there for sure but more of a very "tender" pain. Still getting pain meds but walking walking walking and drinking fluids also fixed a hernia and some adhesions. So happy!

That's wonderful it went so well! I had mine too and I have to say the staff from the surgeon down have phenominal! Lots of discomfort but no real gas pains but I'm sure they are coming I hope you are all doing great and staying strong. Hugs to all xo

How is everyone doing here? I know I am ready for tomorrow and wish u all good luck & prayers ♡

So happy for us all! Woot Woot preop tomorrow then off to surgery the 21st!!! Never imagined I'd be this happy and scared at the same time. Prayers to all of you who are getting surgery over the next few days I have learned so much from everyone here♡♡♡hugs;)

Keep us posted! Prayers ♡

thanks for the info I got my schedule of appointments....phew. How are you doing since your surgery?

I have preop on Wednesday. It's an all day affair 5 days!!!
