hello! i am 3 weeks post op today and my surgeon wants me to start some more working out besides walking. i am a little nervous because when i get too hot im done for. what was your work out plan this early on? any tips? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

definitely can form into a very bad habit, im so sorry you are struggling and i hope it gets so much better for you but this is not a good way to cope and i mean that in the nicest way possible! i wish you so much luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

do everything you can to relax today! once you wake up from surgery you will be so relieved, take it easy and walk walk walk! i wish you so much luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i am 3wks out from bypass and even with the small bites and tiny sips i burp like CRAZY! it feels good to me though lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i had the same reaction with eggs, im 3 weeks post op and still cant do scrambled eggs successfully yet. i get a nasty gurgle/upset stomach and it feels like i need to spew it back up! i do a little better with deviled eggs for some reason, its all trial and error! for me it got easier a week into being back to eating some actual food.

it took me about 5 days post op to finally be able to comfortably pass gas. sitting on the toilet and pulling my knees close to my chest as much as i could helped me a lot. good luck, it will get easier! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

hello! today i start my pureed/soft food stage. on my list of things i can eat it says wheat crackers...does this seem right? im really scared to give those a try. has anyone else had wheat crackers on their stage 2 guidelines? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

what are you eating/drinking on the daily? definitely could be dumping syndrome from something your new tummy just cant tolerate yet. i hope it gets better for you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

im 2 weeks post op too and my period is out of whack as well. i have a nexplanon implant so i shouldnt even be getting one but i had light spotting off and on for about a week after my surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

not sure how your surgeon/nutritionist do their food stages but for me 6 weeks post op i can start eating most veggies! hopefully same for you if so only 2 more weeks. also ive seen people puree their veggies into a Soup and then add chicken or lean turkey!

i bought one box but wasnt allowed to use them during my stay, no outside meds. all depends on your nurses/drs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i am a week post op today, and i wish i could tell you a way to ease your mind but i went in scared to death no matter what i told myself. luckily the surgeons nurse that took me in held my hand so tight and comforted me until i went out. when i woke up it was like nothing happened and laughed at myself for being such a big baby haha! it will be alright i promise you! trust your surgeon and hopefully you get a sweet nurse like i did, she made all the difference. you will do great, relax as much as you can before your date!

hello! im 5 days post op now and missing my bed. i have been having to sleep in a recliner or else i feel like a turtle flipped onto its shell when i get into bed. i cant breathe, awful pain and i am a side sleeper...not happening anytime soon. has anyone else had this issue? when did it get easier for you to sleep in bed?!

i over packed big time haha. most of the stuff i brought i didnt even touch. i would recommend deodorant and chapstick for sure and if your nurses allow it, gas x. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i had someone with me from the day i went in for surgery until i went home and about 4 days after being home. after that i felt pretty comfortable being on my own. good luck with your journey! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
