Asking Dr for more pain meds?
kgilliam2009 replied to Wendydarling19's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I had surgery I was still invert much pain up til about 3 weeks...if ur still in that much pain continue with ur pain meds..and walk slowly and take it easy. This is what helped me...I'm now 5 weeks and doing great! Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App -

I don't eat that amount in one meal..that's insane..thru out the day I eat this much..small meals is the key.. You've said that you throw up? How often? I'm in my 5th post-op week and I've never thrown up, even on full food. Well, there was one incident where I chugged a glass of Water without thinking, but.... I only throw up if my stomach can't handle certain foods..it's not all the time..it's because of the acid I guess in foods. My doctor just says take your prilosec and stick to foods that are neutral nothing to acidity. Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App -

Actually it's not...I eat this amount spread out for the entire day. I know I only eat a half cup. If I don't I throw up..my doctor already knows this. I'm actually doing really well. Sent from my 0PM92 using the BariatricPal App -
What was your first week post op like?

Oh Wow I can definitely remember my first week. I was in sooo much pain after surgery, extremely gassy. Even when I had ice chips and then 30cc's of water every hour it still gave me gas from both ends. I even got uncontrollable hiccups. When I was finally home all I could do was drink my water, juice and popsicles. I could not stomach protein til maybe the 3rd week. I was not hungry at all, I had no appetite. I am now 5 weeks in. -

Hi I am 5 weeks post op today July/26/2016..My weight was 370 when I started. My surgery was June 21st. I went for my 2 week post op on July 5th. I had lost 20lbs then. Now I am down to 335. SO I lost about 35lbs so far. I guess it just depends on the person and what your eating. I can now eat about 1 cup and a half of food. My stomach is still not use to certain foods and it will let me know by me throwing up alot. So I just tend to stick with foods that my stomach actually likes. So far no problems. There are good days and some bad, but like the doctors say your stomach is like a babies new tummy, it will take time and losing weight will take time as well. BUt you will eventually lose the weight fast.
