Since Surgery 4/23/13 weight os up 3.5 pounds

I am sure it is from the IV fluids in the hospital and the gas, as I am bloated. I am still getting in my fluids and walking, still really sore belly, otherwise no issues, no nausea or other issues. Is this pretty common with others who had RNY? I also had a hernia they had to surgically repair and a lot of scar tissue. How long before the gas subsided and you were able to have a BM movement?

My surgery was 4/17. I was there 3 days. I came home weighing +4 lbs from the morning I went in. In 1 week I lost that 4lbs plus 6 more. I had to do a bunch of arm exercises though to help release the gas that went towards my shoulders, and I took gas X for 7 days which really helped. I did not have one large gas release, it was subtle and began on day 3 post op. I had a BM on day 6 that was like goose poop - kind of gross (sorry)

Surgery in 2 weeks, start liquid diet tomorrow, getting excited and nervous!

I'll be honest - the chewable cherry Gas X tastes amazing!! Almost like candy, thus I had no objection to taking it (this coming from a person who has NEVER taken a gas remedy ever). I ate them religiously for nearly a week 4 a day.

Hi I had the same including the repair, however mine was crazy. But the bloat was for a couple of weeks the BM was a couple of days very loose.

I starred feeling better after a BM my system recovered and the Bloat went away the weight is also dropping now, down from my highest after surgery 6.4 pounds, and even below surgery day 2.6 pounds. This makes me a happy camper.
