I've been walking so much! Staying so busy with my kids too! I've lost 9 lbs in 4 days. Maybe that has something to do with it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey I was curious how many calories, and what you are eating/drinking two days post op? I have had one whole shake so far. That is only 160 calories. Is it OK for us to only be taking in 160 cal? Also I am on full liquids, but I am kind of confused about what that means exactly? Thanks everyone! Very thankful for this forum! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yea I feel the gas pains in my stomach and up until last night my shoulder and neck had horrible gas pains in it! I actually thought it was a pulled muscle from surgery or something. I'm gonna try those gas strips too! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm feeling really good! I have one incision on my right side that is the only one really hurting, but only when I stand up. Other than that I feel pretty good! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congrats!! Yea it seems every surgeon has a different way of starting nutrition. I was just released today from hospital and was on IV fluids the whole time. I am drinking a lot of water and holding it down good. So you probably aren't getting many calories in either? That makes me feel a little better that that's how it is for everyone prob. I guess there's no way to get 500-700 calories in these early days. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just got back from another image scan and it was down! Thank Goodness! It was just swollen and was taking a while to go down Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just had my swallow test and there were no leaks, but after it moved through my stomach, it just say and didn't go into small bowels. I guess this is common from what they said? Kind of scared me. They gave me a steroid shot to bring swelling down and see if that helps any. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I guess it's quite normal to feel very excited, but also very nervous too? I am having surgery At 11:15am tomorrow!! I need some prayers if I have any prayer warriors out there! I have two baby girls and I think that brings a whole new aspect to having surgery because you are worried about them, and praying you will be 100% ok for them. But I'm doing this all for them! Thanks y'all! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doctor didn't put me on a preop diet of liquids only except for the day before surgery. Is this common? I thought everyone is on a liquid diet for two weeks before surgery usually? Mine is only the day before. Anybody else experienced this too? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Me too!!! That's my whole thing with food! My portions are crazy big! I am also having surgery Monday and am a nervous wreck, but so excited!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
