Ok so I Had Gastric Bypass on Monday Sept 24, 2018. The Surgeon said everything went well and that I should be going home the next day.  The next day came and by abdomen was so distended I could hardly breath. I was up walking doing everything thing I was suppose to but it was literally the worst feeling ever. My abdomen was as hard as a rock. They kept me an extra day because the bloating was putting me in some pretty intense pain. I felt like I was 10 months pregnant. I guess it was because my intestines had not woken up yet from the anesthesia, to start the process of eliminating all the gas they pumped into me during surgery.

 However here I sit at home  Sept 27 2018 finally released still feeling full but defiantly not as bad as the previous 3 days.

So I guess my question is. I have had nothing but water and watered down juice for my 3 days in the hospital. How it that I went up almost 5 lbs. Does anybody have any idea Why?
