Thank you! Yeah I was feeling pretty sorry for myself last night. I have had 2 c-sections so I thought this should be no big deal for me but it turns out I was a little mistaken. Thank God I am feeling better now though.

I'm so glad I can talk about this with you guys. I definitely don't feel alone. And yea I should have asked for a heavier pain med. @@VSGMama I've had 2 c sections as well!! They were a piece of cake compared to this surgery!

[Disciple 44]

I agree ladies. My two c-section we're a piece compared to the VSG surgery. This surgery IS NOT the easy way out!

I can't imagine throwing up right now as sore as I am. I walk around the house holding a pillow across my stomach just in case I cough. Bless your heart!!!

I've thrown up once as well. Nurse tried to push me to have more Water and then I threw up. So I've only got through 1.5 glasses of water so far. But hoping that will improve

Same boat here! I had a c section and thought thus would be mild compared to that and wow I was wrong. I was really sore last night trying to sleep in my own bed. Did much better on the couch and feeling a little better this morning. Glad you guys are here! I know I shouldn't weigh myself yet but how is it that I've GAINED three pounds since surgery? That better all be fluids!

[Disciple 44]

abbyrn28 your so funny. I ended up on the couch last night also and I weighed myself. It is fluids. LOL!

[abbyrn27 87]

I lost 12 pounds in my 2 week preop and it was HARD! I started at 240 and surgery day I was 228 so yeah I was annoyed about a gain but I know I need to be patient. Are you on liquids for the next 2 weeks too Disciple?

[Disciple 44]

I am on clear liquid for a week. But I can add a thin Protein Shake if I can comfortably drink 50 ounces of Clear Liquids. Then week 2-3 I can eat clear liquids and puree consistency foods.

[abbyrn27 87]

Similar to me. I have 2 weeks of clears and can do Protein if the clears are going down. I have some protein broth last night for "dinner". Tasted good to have something salty.

[smcobos2 43]

Do you ladies get a sudden pain in your stomach that lasts for about 30 seconds without even drinking anything? Are these hunger pains? Or acid reflux?
