Wondered how long it was from your surgery date before you. I am on day 6! Drinking Protein and liquids. Took milk of magnesia today.. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hello Sept 19 th surgery buddies. I am on the other side and am home. I had a good surgery and the only issues are gas pains...ouch. Every time I swallow beverages it hurts and I get cramping. Today I decided to go back to ice chips to get some liquids in as my lips started to dry. It seems to be working. I also consumed 2 ozs of banana premier Protein shake and I made some Jell-O shots with genpro. ( Pinterest) So far so good. Anyone else have any suggestions for the cramping. I am walking around the house about every hour. This too will pass as they say⛽️ Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on Monday also with a hiatal hernia repair. Just having a hard time with cramping and getting in fluids. I am probably up to12 to 14 ozs so far as it irritates my stomach when I drink. I have to walk immediately after to help with the gas. No pain meds today yet, so that was plus, only the gas drops. Step by step and sip by sip! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Good luck to all of us for September 19th....see you next week Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved at 67 three years ago. I spent 8 hours in the hospital, and took one pain pill when I got home, and no pain after that. That was on a Monday, and I was walking in the mall four days later. Best thing I ever did for my health! Thank you for your encouragement..I am 65 and scheduled next Monday Sept 19!

I am lucky to have a Protein shake for Snacks and 2ozs lean meat and veggies. I am also using crystal light and Water. I may have lost 6 lbs, but so hard to tell on my scales. Think I need a new scale..digital so I can read it accurately! Can't believe it's 10 days!! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My question too... Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

September 19th date too! 3 days into the pre op diet. Protein shakes as snack and low carb meal with protein and veggies. Ironically my food funeral weekend did not go as planned, as I ended up with a gastrointestinal bug, so was on liquids right before starting pre op diet. Drinking Water and crystal light and Premier Protein. Hospital tour tonight for a pre op tour of what to expect. Have a great day 9/19's Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

September 19th too! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I am preparing for surgery next month. I am concerned about the gas pains, as after my c section I had the worst gas pains. I asked my surgeon about gas strips and he said I wouldn't need them. I am confused as they seem to be recommended by patients. Do they dissolve in the mouth? I would be concerned if they don't, and end up in the new stomach.
