Ok.today makes the days post op for me and since yesterday I have noticed a lot of rumbling' date=' bubbling, and tumbles hitting in India if my stomach n and then comes the runs. Had anyone else experienced thus[/quote']

I had surgery on Monday (the 22nd)... I had the same thing...slowing down today but still there a little.

I am not having a great day. Everything tastes bad. I have a horrible taste in my mouth that I can't get rid of. I just have no desire to put anything else in my mouth. I am a little down as i had my surgery Monday and am only down 2 lbs since morning of surgery. I am achey and sore and just not feeling this today.

I've been the same today...we had surgery the same day. My mom hung out with me today and said she has always felt day 5 after any surgery is bad. She said this when I had a non-related surgery a couple years ago and when my brother went through multiple surgeries. Seems there is some truth to this. Hang in there.

Having a bad day im still in quite alot of pain in my left side feels like everything is all twisted and bunched up in there and it hurts not like excruciating pain but enough to take meds and its not constant but again enough to limit my activity drastically im 10 days post op and everyday is better than the day before but not as good as id hoped for and not as good as alot of you are doing .....i try walking more because everyone keeps saying walk walk walk it helps bit i try and the pain gets so bad i have to sit down ....tonight we took our daughter to the park and i walked downstairs out to the car from the car to the park and walked around while she played for about 20 minutes or so then had to sit then walked for about 5 min and back home we came cuz im in pain any suggestions? ??

Fair day. Was nice so spent some time out in the fresh air, which felt good. Had some nauseau today and some pretty bad left side pain now as evening comes. I think when that pain goes away, things will be a lot better. I need to remember I had major surgery ONLY 5 days ago, and give myself time to heal! Just wanna lay down to get rid of the pain!

When you all are mentioning how much you have lost since surgery are you going off of the higher weight from the additional added from surgery or the before surgery weight?

And how many days following surgery for the bloating and gas from surgery to go away?

Im going from the what they weighed me at in the hospital right before surgery .....ive lost 16lbs since then but the 2 days before surgery i lost 2 lbs so total from my highest weight is 18lbs.....as far as bloating i still feel bloated my bra that i wore to the hospital still doesnt fit and that was my biggest one so ive been wearing a tight tank top under my shirt when i do go out ....so idk when it all goes away lol i would think even with 16lbs things would be looser but not so much for me lol

Hi everyone. We MUST remember that there is a good chane that soon after surgery you may or will gain or stay same weight. Due to the amount of fluids given.

[missmegan 37]

Is there anyone else on this thread not losing weight?
