I think its just like someone else said... Your stomach grinds to digest food... Ypur stomach should not be doing that right now coz swollen etc youve just had major surgery hun (-: If they went down fine then thats good ... I just wouldnt attempt it coz i feel alot of restriction. Watery pureed apple i even syruggle with.... Whatever works for you hun. Xx

Wow crackers ???? Theres no way i would even be able to eat them now & im 12 days post op !! How the heck did you keep those down ?? Im glad you can see now why you needed the pain meds. I was on oxycodone which is pretty much morphene... 20ml 4 times a day for a week ! But im sook & have a low tolerance for pain. Im glad your feeling good now hun !! Good luck with everything xxx

I everyone !!!!

Ask the nurse if you can have pain relief through your iv ?? Dont dispair darling, its gonna be fine. We've all been there and it sucked for all of us ...but we are all so happy now !!! My first night in the hospital post op was a friggin nightmare. The best way to feel better is by getting up and slowly walking around, put your shoulders back & take slow deep breaths. It will be hard for you to walk around if your in pain so please reconsider the pain killers, youll find when you go home you will need them so that you can sleep at night comfortably & bare taking showers etc. Have a warm bean bag handy for any pain you may experience in your left shoulder, this is where the gas sits when it dispurses from your body, keeping moving your arns up & down to help dispurse the gas. Suck on ice cubes for your dry mouth & keep a chapstick handy, just be patient hunny. When your feeling down, phone a friend or someone who is supportive & just talk it out. Cry if you need to & remember why you did thid!!! Hold on... You have made the right choice. Believe me. Xxx

To anyone who has had a TT I am only 11 days post op. Im hoping to lose a total of 55kg (over a year or so) Im only 27 years old so im hoping alot of my skin will bound back with plenty of core work & skin firming massage but i know im still gonna have loose skin. My tummy is my main concern but i have huge boobs & i know theyre gonna be saggy ))): & my upper arms underneath are going to be floppy ))): we are planning on babies after my weightloss and i will wait until after babies for anymore surgery. I know that my eventual TT should not be my concern right now because it is such early days but i want to know now... Please tell me straight up.... How bad is the pain post op ?? What is the recovery time like ?? Thanks xxx

Good luck ladies ! Im in Australua & Im 6 days post op .. Its been a little difficult but starting to feel good now. Just remember that... Though its kel hole sugery its still major & youll be swollen & sore for a while. Dont try to do too much & make sure you have a good support network around you to keep you positive & strong (-: All the best girls xxc

Hello everyone I would like to make an official & sincere apology. I don't know what came over me. Please understand that I am not a confrontational person usually & I'm sorry I flew off the handle & exploded like that. Having the surgery & changing my life after being fat for such a long time, working on maintaining my amazing relationship with my beautiful fiancé, talking about stopping ttc, Plus the added euphoria of taking very strong pain killers at the moment.. What I'm trying to say is that all of the above are really taking their toll on me at the moment & are contributing factors as to why I reacted the way I did. I'm truly sorry & a little embarrassed. I don't know why I thought Heather would mean any harm, I'm just really sensitive ): I know now that I worded the opening sentence to the topic the wrong way. I should've made it something like "stopping ttc... Support wanted" or something to that effect. I did write it as more of a question as if I don't know the answer. Anyways I wish you all the very best on your journeys, I'm hoping we can chat more in the future. ( I promise I'm not a complete psycho ) To conclude, ever since my initial consult with my surgeon (8 wks ago) our plan has been to stop ttc... So I don't know why I asked that question... As I said I was more looking for a little support & testimonial type responses to give me something to go on. Thank ladies Love Jodie Sent from my iPhone

Thank you Amanda. It's good to know you feel my pain. Wishing you all the very best on your journey xxx @ Heather thank you for your concern but I am fully aware of all of that. This is a support type network/forum and that was all I was hoping for... A little support. I was not looking for someone to ear bash me & tellme what, I ALREADY KNOW. I'm not stupid. You message one tiny paragraph which had not an ounce of sensitivity or understanding & it was very blunt. Maybe you should proof read your posts before you send them & soften them a little bit.

Hi guys !! I am 3 days post op. I have not eatin a single thing since the morning of my surgery (except regular Water, v8 vege juice & some prune juice to keep things regular) & I have not felt the slightest bit of hunger..... I had a table spoon of Optifast soup & it filled me up.... Is this normal ?? Sent from my iPhone

@ lollicat thank you for the baby dust Your probably right but whether or not she meant to be rude & insensitive.... That's how it cane across. It seemed like she thinks I'm some kind of idiot & that I don't know the potential risks. & yes that is what my doctor told us, but many woman in my position continue to ttc & have happy healthy pregnancies. I guess those were the testimonial type replies I was hoping for. Sorry if I have been bitchy.... Again just a very sensitive topic for me ))): Sent from my iPhone

@ erin marie thank you for your advice @ heather what is with that comment ? That was very insensitive of you ! You dont know anything about me or anything that's going on inside my body or my head or my heart. How can you be so blunt about such a sensitive subject. I was simply starting a conversation to get a little support. don't you dare assume that me falling pregnant would be defeating the purpose of having the surgery. I know the purpose of my surgery !!! I would like to say that "You obviously don't know what it's like to be told you can never have children". But I won't, because that would make me negative & presumptuous like you.

Hi everyone My fiancé & I have been trying to conceive for a year no
