Been out of surgery for a few hours now..doing ok..I have been for walk...I feel your pain on the bloating..for a while there I felt like I was going to explode. .so far the bloating has been the worst part

Hopefully it's not a fluke but today I had some energy back! Lol walked a lot more, went to a dr appt, grocery store, and out to chilis for lunch with my grandma and sister and had some Soup. Smelled awesome and worked out well. Even folding clothes and making dinner for the fam. I hope it's not just a weird thing that happens just today and I wake up tomorrow tired lol. Getting some hope of getting my life back. Down 21pounds and 15 days post op. my loose pants are not holding up anymore. Today was a great day!

Hopefully everyone else is doing good, congrats on the surgeries today!

When they say you can walk around. .even if it hurts a little. .walk around...it helps tremendously with the gas and bloating

My surgery is August 27' date=' 2013[/quote']

Mine is the 27th as well. Have to be at the hospital at 6:15 for a 7:45 surgery. We have to leave my house at 5! Keep telling myself this is SO worth it. I've lost 7 pounds in 7 days on this semi-liquid diet the surgeon has me on for 2 weeks prior.

Puremichaganyooper, when's your surgery?

[lis463 11]

We are both doing good.. Have terrible gas pains though... They give us a chewable every 4 hours for gas cause we were told were not able to use our gasx here ( sigh ) so..as of right now so far so good.. Just wish I could get just a little bit of sleep .. Hard when you fight through gas pain and once you fall asleep .. Someone wakes you up for something.. LoL

One other thing right off the bat my left side hurts the worse... However I have been alternating laying on my sides holding a pillow.. It helps a lot

All I know is I'm so glad to be on the losers bench and looking forward to wonderland

Starting weight 244

Weight when I got here 234

Goal weight 130

T-T, your goal weight is the same as mine! I am starting a bit higher than you, tho--258 before the 2-week diet. Glad to hear you are doing ok.
