Yes! My Chiro explained that as the fat disappears the muscles have to readjust. Mine got better after five days. Still gets cranky at about hour 14 of my waking hours. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was back at work post op 8. Could have gone back post op 6. Everyone's journey is different. Don't postpone. Part of taking care of kids is showing them how to take care of yourself. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Five days post op... I'd think the gas pain would have subsided. Walking is about the only thing you can do for that. Call him directly. Do you have his number? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was 10/21. I'm doing really well, but I think I've had an above par experience. Dr. Apel did my surgery. I'm chomping at the bit to move to stewed meat phase, but am being a good girl and waiting. I weighed in Monday 10/24 at 308.6 and yesterday (9 days later) at 295.2 I found Ancient Nutrition bone broth Protein at my local health food store to be the easiest to tolerate.

Did you contact your surgeon? Are you ok? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery on Friday, Vitamin IV therapy (and was discharged - outpatient procedure) the following Monday. Flew home (7 hours of flight time) on Tuesday. Was in Vegas for 7 days total (including two before surgery for nutrition class.) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My scale is also ridiculous. I'm going to throw it out and just go to the doctor once a week and weigh in Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ancient Nutrition makes a great Bone broth Protein. Dissolves. No clumping. Delightful! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are you concerned about your ability to follow through with the lifestyle changes post-op? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I wouldn't say I cheated, as The information was given to me on the Monday before my Friday surgery. Because of health issues, many of the things on the "don't" list had already been eradicated from my diet. Do your best. It helps with a clean surgery which can make for a much easier recovery!

You're probably find, but call your surgeon just to be sure. Make sure you're moving every hour to help alleviate the gas. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 9 days post op. You can do this! I HIGHLY recommend seeing your center's nutritionist! I've been scouring Pinterest for "bariatric recipes". So. Much. Awesomeness! I was a little concerned about mourning foods after surgery, but I have found some great bariatric-friendly pizza recipes. Plus the tomato soup I had yesterday totally met that craving!
