I'm 6 days post op -15 lbs lost. I just tried on my jeans that fit before the 2wk pre-op diet and surgery and they're too tight now. It would've hurt to try and button them. Am I that bloated????? Anyone else have this problem? Anyone able to wear jeans immediatedly?

I was heavier coming out of the hospital than going in. My take on it is 1. They pump in gas for surgery. 2. Body builds up Fluid as part of the healing process. It took me about 2 weeks for things to settle back down. Also you slid up a little when you start on mushy and soild foods.

They pump your abdominal cavity full of gas at the start of surgery to give them a little more room to work it. It has to be absorbed by your body and disposed of in urine. Give it a little time.

HI, I also had this problem. I think it took around 3 weeks for my system to settle down. When I first tried on my pants I was so discouraged I could have cried. Two weeks later I figured what the heck I'll give it another try and see what happens. Well, they fit with a little room to spare. Thank God. So, be patient and it will happen for you also. Best of Luck to you.

I am 7 days post-op and 15 pounds lighter since the day of surgery.....my jeans still fit the same, I've .lost weight everywhere, so I figure it's still the gas....hopefully!! I'm going to have a skinny body and huge stomach one day if not!

      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.
