Hello! I too am a post op girl, just beginning my 4th day with this new lifestyle. How are you feeling? I'm still having trouble laying or sitting comfortably because of the gas bubbles. How are you doing with this? I have had little to no hunger which is very different for me. Nice to meet you and feel free to write back at anytime.

Congratulations! My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, and I can't wait to be able to say the same thing!

Hi NewJulie! Good luck on your surgery tomorrow! Are you having the bypass or gastric sleeve?

I am walking most of the time, so the gas is almost not an issue. The problem I have is he flying abdomen, feels like it will rip apart in any position that I attempt. So I haven't slept in forever, and still can't work up the courage to cough.

I did a lot of walking while I was in the hospital and it didn't seem to make a difference in my gas issues. I still feel like I need to pass gas all the time, lol. I'm not really sure what you mean by the flying abdomen, hehe. I've coughed basically since I was in recovery, and I was hesitant but it's not that bad. I still haven't gone #2 and was wondering if you have had issues with this also.

When I move, I feel a swirling/swishing of my inside flying from right to left, and wobbling back. I swear it feels like my intestines/organs are swimming around. It is gross and so painful. Regarding # 2, I had a miracle yesterday before I was discharged. I felt the urge, and something (tmi) did splat its way out from the appropriate place :-) basically just a teaspoon of sediment on the bottom of the toilet.

I got home yesterday from bypass and I'm having the Water bm issue. Between trying to get rid of the gas and bm I've lost control of my bm's twice. Very loose stool. Wondering how long it will take to form considering we are on am liquids. I also ended up having a large hiatal hernia as well. Coughing isn't too bad if you put a pillow on your belly.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
