FLBariPat 1 Posted December 17, 2017 Marina, I totally understand what your feeling. I am 5 days post op and am having significant pain, fullness(bloaty), and am also unable to really drink anything. I am hoping this subsides soon. dehydration is my main concern. 1 Candiakilah reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psyance 32 Posted December 17, 2017 Day 3 is the worst. Every day from here on out will hopefully get better. I was where you are now, and felt like it was a mistake. I’m in my third week postop now, and aside from the diet, I feel great. It gets better. 2 rochagurl757 and Candiakilah reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuzyQutie 63 Posted December 18, 2017 I'm 2 weeks post op and still have pain, but I can tolerate it now. I was the same way the first week, asking myself if I made a mistakeSent from my XT1650 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
