mishelcrz88 22 Posted November 12, 2014 I really appreciate your support the only problem I been having is some cramp like pain on my upper stomach I don't know if its normally or not I mostly get it when I drink anything at all I'm only a week out and I don't know if it's normal or it will go way soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGirlPanties 957 Posted November 12, 2014 the pain is most likely gas... walk it off...it's really normal eat slowly and drink slowly if it persists, contact your doctor...there is no reason to be in pain! good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCP 619 Posted November 13, 2014 We are twins! I lost 10 pre-op and 17 my first two weeks post-op. I stalled at week 3 and 6 but am at 40 pounds lost at week 9. (Actually I have not weighed in a week so I feel like it's probably about 45 now.) What a miracle this surgery is! Lord, it was hard at first, I'll admit. For a month, I wondered why the heck I did it but now it is all coming together. I have a spring in my step, people are noticing, and I have had to buy smaller clothes. Prayers for a smooth recovery for you! You're going to do great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Mac 6,262 Posted November 13, 2014 I kept a bag of cotton balls around, and would use one of those to gently tickle the itch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
