Yes, everything tastes gross. Hoping it goes away soon Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I am 11 days post op gastric bypass and I have had a stapling pain in my lower stomach on the right side. It wraps around to my hip as well. It doesn't hurt if I stay still or lay flat on my back, but once I start moving or lift my legs, it is a stabbing pain that takes my breath away. I've tried heat and ice, but they don't help too much. I'm hoping it just a pulled muscle and not something more serious. It's not a constant pain, bit it comes and goes. I made an appointment for tomorrow, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue. Thanks in advance Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes I do. I was just reading about that and now I'm freaked out Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you. I had an appointment yesterday and he said everything looks fine. The last couple of days I've started feeling a lot better. More good days than bad for sure from now on Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks I sure hope so Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I just had my surgery 2 days ago and yesterday I was able to get all of my fluids and no problem. I was walking around every hour and got sent home. Today I woke up feeling super full and bloated. Just by looking at my stomach it's very swollen which I'm sure is to be expected. But I am struggling getting my water in today. I have been sipping on the little medicine cups but I feel like I'm going to pop. I'm also having an issue with my eyes focusing when I look at my phone or any writing on paper. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for the advice. My eyes have gotten better but I'm still bloated and full. Turns out I do have gas pains, but only in my stomach. Using Gas X strips and a heating pad, but they just don't want to come out. Hopefully if I keep walking it will start getting better Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Just had my last appointment with my surgeon and I will be having my surgery on July 27th. It all just got really real. I'm very nervous and excited at the same time. Anyone else have the same date or one close to it? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I really like this idea. I'm 3 weeks and 1 day out and I have been only doing 1200 calories a day of lean, healthy foods. First 2 days were hard and I felt very hungry, but now I find snacks and meals that are healthy and low in calories and carbs. Keeps me full through the day. But I think i may want to give your idea a shot to get my body used to those foods. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon is not requiring me to do a liquid diet before surgery. He just wants me to eat a low fat diet for a few weeks before surgery. I was going to eat around 1200-1500 calories a day that includes very lean meats and vegetables. I was thinking about putting myself on a liquid diet for 4 days before my surgery. Will that help shrink my liver to prevent complications, or do I need to do a longer liquid diet? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Also low in carbs. As I'm looking online, I'm not finding much. Starting to think protein bars aren't going to be the best thing to eat Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah I couldn't imagine only having liquids for that long. But I guess I better start imagining because I will be there in a month Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Mine is on July 27th Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah it definitely gets old. But we won't have to worry about it for much longer. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I lived I La Jolla. I moved down there after high school to go to college. I'm 32 years old. Washington state is beautiful in the summer, but the rain in the winter gets really old. We are moving back to the Sacramento area around the end of the year. I love San Diego! My aunt and uncle live there (by USD) and we are trying to plan a trip later this year Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh nice I lived in San Diego for a while. I'm originally from the Sacramento area but we are in Washington state right now Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes definitely! Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yay I'm so glad I found someone with the same date. Where are you located? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

How does everyone deal with negative reactions from people? I am a couple months away from getting gastric bypass and I just had an appointment with a cardiologist. He was definitely not on board with my getting surgery. I do not have any comorbidities or anything so he thought I should just do it by diet and exercise. I was 100% on surgery and now I feel like I'm letting 1 person make me second guess my decision.

Thanks for the advice. Luckily I had to see him one last time a couple weeks ago and that was it. He cleared me for my surgery Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I know how you feel. Once I got my date, I started getting some major anxiety. I've been working towards it since November Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app
