Harlemzheiress 22 Posted June 13, 2013 I had my surgery june 10 I'm three days post op and I must admit the beginning was a struggle I feel much better now still haven't been able to actually eat anything but I'm trying to stay hydrated which is extremely hard because I don't want to eat or drink anything! I'm really bloated. I'm using the pain meds often I need them. I can't wait to be myself again. 2 Molly3 and gmanbat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruthie1974 34 Posted June 14, 2013 I thought the first week sucked. BUT after that it got better and better. I'm now 6 weeks out and I have lost 36 lbs. This surgery will pay off, all of us have gone through buyers remorse. Just listen to your doc, exercise and follow the food rules to allow your new tummy to heal. You will do great!

wasabi 57 Posted June 15, 2013 If your back is killing you you may be dehydrated. That is a sign. I'd call your doc to be safe!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsPierre 67 Posted June 15, 2013 I am but everytime I walk I get dizzy Try standing for a while holding onto something to keep the circulation going. It's day 2 post op for me and I'm sore. I have a little shoulder pain from gas and when I drink I can feel it going down. Has anyone else experienced the weird sensation when drinking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
