Keep walking, walk as much as possible. Every time I woke up, I used the bathroom, then walked till I was tired.

Three weeks out tomorrow! Down 17 pounds (SW 200 CW 183). I've ran three 5k's on treadmill in the past week and had no stomach pain at all! Starting soft diet on Thursday (although surgeon let me have thick Soups and scrambled week last week). Feeling great, but I'm exhausted by evening.

Ditto this!!! Walk walk... I felt so much better when I was walking. The pressure and bloating from sitting down made me hurt more. Walking helped with pain.

Today was my first post op surgeon appointment. All is great!

I am day #8 today post op. Tomorrow I start Phase 3 diet: Purée foods. Off narcotics day 3 & Tylenol until day 5.

Doing pretty good!! Definitely dealing with air bubbles not wanting to come up... Feels "hung up" or stuck and have a hard time burping..... Dr said it will get better & it's normal.

My little incisions are sooo itchy!

Do you have stitches or glue?

I went to have my nails done today, and then I went shopping a little. I think I over did it, I really need a nap. I am going to limit the distances I drive until I have my follow up appointment.

I have 4 that are stitches and 1 that is staples.
Anyone gone to pool or been in Water a short time with glue on? Is that OK?

I have not... But I have taken a long shower and rubbed lightly with body wash the incision area. It was just fine.

I have actually had the 3 smaller ones already come off and fully closed. Only one with glue really on it is the big one next to belly button and one on my left side.

I have that issue, like I need to burp but it is stuck. Usually standing up fixes it.

I will try that more... And maybe even move around angle wise. Sometimes bending over and putting some pressure on the stomach to help move it up. Sometimes even drinking Water will help move it up.

Dr said it is probably getting stuck on the diaphragm and will get better once swelling/healing is better

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
