Ok. Thank y'all

Ok, so I'll be 3 weeks Monday & I'm feeling this tugging/ tighten feeling mainly on/ down my side's is this part of the healing process (is it the stitches)? I've never had surgery before &/or stitches so I'm not sure what's going on? I'm so confused...

Hi Melting Me: I'm 15 days out today & I only lost 2lbs in 2 weeks. I did lost a total of 31 lbs, but pre-op 28 & then just 3 post so far, it sucks.

The nurse just told me I'd be moving that Mush around. I hope I spelled that right. I lay on my right side every time I get in the bed & forget I can't lay on my side till she tells me. It hurts my back laying on it sometimes.

When can we lay on our side(s)? Since my 2nd day out of surgery I could lay on my right side. But when I went to my 1st check up I asked & they told me not yet. So when can we lay on our side?

Lol & under my neck (this is embarrassing, I can't believe I'm saying this) every 3-5 days.

I use Nair & only have to shave my legs & do under my arms like once a month. Now my eyebrows & above my lip I do that like every two weeks.

Sweetpea1 Hello, a friend of mine just had the VSG on the 25th of July! She has been experiencing pain on the left side and she describes it as feeling like stitches popping inside her. I'm the same way. I had my surgery Aug. 6th & my mind started two days ago I feel the same way. Like my stitches are popping inside me. From all of my insicions, but at different times.

Okay, thanks everyone.

Does anyone know of any good Isopure? Where can you get them from?

Before surgery I never slept at night & I was had a prescription for sleeping pills & still couldn't sleep. Now I'm 12 days out every night around 10:30 I get real sleepy. I may fall asleep about 11/ 11:30 & wake up between 6:30 & 8:30 depending on if one of my kids wake me up first.

Ok thank you. I was wondering what was going on... Thank you.

I'm 9 days out & I'm having a rough time every time I smell food I feel as thou I am going to go crazy if I don't get any. I'm on phase 2. I am so ready for food. It seems as everyday I am regretting getting this done as of right now. I mean I cry & throw a tantrum like a 3 with my husband. ( over food) What's going on with me?

maryjane61 I know that's what I keep saying, I hope my husband didn't waste his money, I don't want to let him or myself down. I just want to stop thinking about food so much. I know I am just 9 days out, but will those thoughts ever go anyway?

I'm 8 days out & yesterday I got to start with phase 2 soups & stuff. I ate some soup & drank crystal light, took a nap woke up & I had such a sour/ bitter taste in my mouth. What is that all about? I brushed my teeth twice, rinse my mouth & then drank some water & finally got rid of that bad taste. Is this normal?

OMG, thank you guys. They itch so bad. I was rubbing, then it started to have a burning sensation. I'm only 8 days out. How long will the itching last?

Anyone else incisions are itching? My incisions are itching real bad is that suppose to happen?

I still have gas just not as bad this morning, thanks for the encouraging words. But I am so hungry now, I think.

As of today almost a week out & this gas is still just as bad as it was when I left the hospital.

AdeptDreamer", thank you.

Hi everyone I had my surgery Aug 6th. When I woke up I felt ok, till they made me get up & walk around. While walking I would vomit clear vomit. The nurse kept telling my husband she's not going to do anything it's just the nausea she's felling. But I kept vomiting & vomiting. It hurt like crazy to walk at first, it got better. But I still have gas so bad. It feels like menstrual cramps times 5 to me. I'm only 3 days out but I'm ready for the gas pain to leave. Other than the gas pains. Its getting better.

I have the same problem. This gas is kicking my butt. No matter what I still have had gas. Someone HELP ME. I have Gas X thin strips. Also a prescription from my Dr. I don't know what to do???/

Good morning everyone. I also had my surgery Aug 6th @ 4:30-6:30. I came home Aug 7th around 6. This gas does not play.

I am 4 days out & I just had my bm

Thanks everyone. I don't know how to calm my nerves. My husband keeps saying don't worry God got you...
