So I am just over 3 weeks out. Have lost 12 pounds so far, which should not come as a surprise as I can barely eat anything. I have constant stomach pain and unable to eat most anything. Going to go back to liquids only. Really frustrated, not energy and feel pretty helpless. My doctor thinks I should be exercising, I can barely make it thru the day at work. Taking prilosec daily as prescribed.

Thanks so much. Yes so far my saving grace has been hot bath, heating pad, popsicles and broth. I dont feel terrible, but certainly don't feel great. Each day seems a bit better, so going to try to focus on that.

So I am now a few days into my Orbera placement. Surgery day was fine. 2nd day by far the worst. But I have to say , the hardest part for me was the sore muscles from the anesthesia. Aching so much I could barely stand up. Had some nausea and acid reflux, but no vomiting. I am still on liquids and my surgeon sounded like she didn't want me off those until after my post op, next Wednesday. Tough to get in all the protein needed as I am not hungry and protein shakes are not my favorite. Looking forward to getting well and focusing on changing my lifestyle.
