I am two days post op and feeling really good! Gas pain is gone just incisional pain now. I've taken 1/2 miles walks every morning and went shopping and treated myself to a pedicure :) On top of feeling great I have lost three pounds woo hoo :) Loving this new life but I have to admit I am counting down the days until I am on the mushy diet... 12 days lol

Congrats! I'm 5 days post op. No gas pain in the shoulder like some, just rumblings in my belly.

Incision pain sometimes when I move, but the abdominal belt is helping that! No fill in my band, and I've had 2 Protein Shakes and broth today.

Feeling pretty good!

You speak of an abdominal belt....what is that? Where can I get one?

Yeah I think it's like the pregnancy belts. I ordered mine from Amazon. It's by Gabrialla and its the abdominal support binder. I got the one with breathable elastic.

I've been wearing it around the house and it has helped a lot with the pain I get from my incisions by my tummy moving all the time, I.e., when I climb stairs in my house, sitting in a chair, the bed, the toilet! Of course this is a time I wish I had handicap toilets in the house so I wouldn't have to squat so far down! Lol. Besides my chewable gas-x, this is the best thing I have purchased!

How come I have gained 5 lbs? Before surgery I lost 19lbs in 1 week just following no carbs but since surgery I've gained. I'm not thrilled to see that!

Don't be discouraged about the temporary gain. Everyone's body reacts differently. Follow your doctors instructions and I promise the weight will start coming off. And don't forget...depending on how recent your surgery was...that swelling occurs and will add some weight. Best of luck on your journey. :)

Thanks! I am 3 days out. I am just really happy that the gas pains-that my Dr failed to mention have started to subside.

Oh I know! I got the worst pains from the gas during surgery too! When I woke up in recovery, they were saying I was funny because I was (still pretty drugged) whimpering about having the wrong procedure done...because my stomach didn't hurt and my shoulders were killing me! Lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
