ivettev001 27 Posted December 17, 2015 How is your experience after the surgery? Any pains or got better each day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tobeornottobe 89 Posted December 17, 2015 It does get better everyday. The pain from the gas was probably the worst. I walked a lot and that helped immensely. That pain was gone in 4 days. I'm definitely sore, it feels like I did a million sit ups. I am been blessed as I have not experienced nausea or throwing up. I hate taking the Lovenox shots daily. I have no problems getting my Protein or Water in. All in all my experience has been mostly positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NolaNola1264 4 Posted December 19, 2015 My surgery is on 12/29. I'm on day five of the two week Optifast diet. I've doing okay, but the only thing I have been craving is a piece of chicken. Does anyone else feel sort of mild nausea from Optifast? The ladies at work did a cookie exchange and gave me 4 dozen cookies! UGH! I had my husband take them to work with him. I wasn't tempted to eat any, so that was good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
