It gets better each day though! 3 days post op and I feel so much better. All the gas pain from surgery is gone. The only pain I'm having now is from two of my incisions. But it's not too bad The first two days my pain meds were a God send! I don't have any Gerd or anything...in 3 days I'm down 8 pounds so far My wonderful surgeon was Dr. Lufti at St. Joseph's hospital in Chicago That's awesome. I'm glad to hear it gets better as the days go by. Im expecting the worst and hoping for the best. Im on my liquids today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yesterday on day 3, I was having a mini pity party wondering why I did this to myself. Today day 4 has gotten better but I still feel really weak. How are things going for you now?

connnie 23 Posted April 24, 2017 It was postponed until 4/ 25.. I'm disappointed. I was ready, physically mentally and emotionally. Now I can't seem to get it together... How are you doing?Sent from my XT1585 using BariatricPal mobile appOh what a bummer. I am feeling good. Never had much gas or pain. Of course I am sick of liquids but it is temporary. I am having sleep issues. As in not being able to sleep more than a few hours and then I am wide awake. Keep a positive attitude that you will be doing fine after surgery... oh walk and try to get enough fluids in. I am 50 years old so I am slower in my older age. But I don't feel any regrets and am so happy I did this. Also I haven't had any nausea or have gotten sick to my stomach. You will do great.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
