I have no idea why your doc will say that!🤨 Have you considered an IUD? Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree!! That gas pain was unreal!! I was doubled over sometimes. But by day 3, it started to feel better. Walk, walk, walk walk. I sometimes wake up at night to do laps around my living room to relieve gas pressure and go back to sleep exhausted. I never needed any painkillers the moment I was discharged from the hospital. Getting my 64 oz water is initially next to impossible but it gets better especially after I infused with fruits....still not at exactly 64 oz though. Today was my post OP class education for what next 2 months would look like globally but with focus on diet. Afterwards they served lunch which mine was refried beans vegan style with 1 oz diced canned peaches. Had 1/3 of the refried beans and couldn't go any further. I think I only had 1 forkful of the fruit. I eventually finished the beans 2 hours later. I tried making 1 oz protein shake a few hours later just to experiment and couldn't finish it. Otherwise I feel mostly normal other than the mild cramping from eating and continued burps from gas. I continue to walk but home to make it to my spin class at the gym tomorrow if I feel up to it. All this at day 4 post OP. This will be an interesting adventure/journey, I'm trying to embrace it but I won't lie, there are a lot of trepidation, self doubt etc. Everyone please keep us updated so we can support each other [emoji169][emoji169]🧡🧡 Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Beautiful!!! Artistic people fascinate me as they are working with a part of the brain that I can't seem to tap into[emoji57][emoji57] Except maybe to have an appreciation for it. Well done!![emoji112][emoji112] Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Good morning all. Day 19 I'm 3 days post OP and my goal for this challenge was to seamlessly transition to a post wls lifestyle with all I've gleaned from this site and my team and everywhere else. I'll say that every day has been a revelation! I'm so thankful for feeling better daily. I've not weighed myself and have zero interest doing so because my bloat from IV and gas is kind of obvious to see so why bother. I've been able to stick to broths, water, sugar free jello and herbal tea since post OP. I occasionally feel a twinge of something watching my family eat regular food but I get over it really quickly. Compliment someone: I'll have to give the bulk of my compliments to my husband and daughters. They have handled all the changes thus far like champions! There's nothing more endearing than my 8 year old making me my sugar free jello from the powder and making sure I finish it. They hug me very gingerly so they don't cause pain and they are very attentive. I've been complimenting them daily and having renewed appreciation for them. My husband brings fresh flowers so our home smells like a floral garden. I have also sent edible arrangements to the unit nurses and CNAs that cared for me in the hospital because they were an amazing and genuine bunch! Day 20 Nature walk: hmm, maybe I'll go hiking when the sun goes down tonight as I missed it for this morning. Today is post OP class where I get advanced!! Yay!!! Sugar free yoghurt has never seem so scrumptious! Can't wait! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I actually agree with your logic though as it's been emphasized by everyone that every body is different. My fear was that I would do preop diet and go straight into a stall post op![emoji53] Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
