We're you on a liquid diet pre op and did you habe to do a colon prep prior to surgery? I was on liquids for 2 weeks then colon prep the day before surgery so I was pretty well cleaned out. Then didn't go for a week after surgery until I took milk of mag.

I had surgery yesterday.

Worst pain I ever felt.
The incisions don't hurt. It's the gas.

I am better today and will be better tomorrow.

The gas is no joke. Also do the breathing exercises. I could not talk yesterday and my voice came back today.

Had my surgery on the 15th and the gas was a real pain! I'm 6 days post op and it's long gone now. I had the surgery on a Thursday and it was pretty much gone by Monday. It was indeed painful, but thank god it was short-lived.

The gas for me was the worst part too. I used a lot of chewable gas-x that first week.

I dropped 13 lbs my first week after surgery (6/28/17). This week I've only lost 1! My doctor says I should be losing a pound a day initially. I've been having trouble getting all my Protein down. It's too sweet now. I can't stand it!
I say all of that to say it's a process and I'm trying not to focus on the weight loss but making sure I'm eating and drinking on schedule. The weight loss will happen. [emoji2]

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
