CurlyDiva 5 Posted July 16, 2011 Hey guys! My surgery was 7/13/11 and I have been in AGONY ever since! Today was the first day the gas pains didn't kick my ass! Lol. I'll tell my surgery story in the post op section, but the good thing is that I'm down 10 lbs since Wednesday. I started at 248, now I'm 238.4 lbs. Just a forewarning, you really don't understand how much you CANT drink after surgery. I've had this one Water bottle I've sipped on for three days, and this 1cup of Jello, but I'm not even hungry! I dreamed about a bag of cheetos last night, lol! Good luck to u all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YngGram 73 Posted July 16, 2011 Congrats!!! The walk sip is the way to go. GAS X helped me, but gas would wake me at night. I would be up walkig the house like I was haunting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colee85 1 Posted July 16, 2011 So happy to hear about your weight loss! Great Job! My surgery is on monday...making my supply list today and Gas X will be the first thing on the list! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CurlyDiva 5 Posted July 17, 2011 Ooooo and a HEATING PAD and small pillow was my saving grace!!! Also, while your on pain mess and filling all good, try bringing your knees up to your stomach or rolling in a ball, or jiggling your stomach just to get the gas moving. IT HELPS! So far, sown 13 lbs! I'm loving it...but this week has been HARD! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don't want to burst any bubbles, but if you have been sipping on the same bottle of Water for 3 days, part of that 10 pound weight loss is probably due to dehydration. You really need to make yourself drink more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
