25 Pounds Lost 12 Post Op!!!
I did the post op diet, but i really didn't eat for 3 days after. When i started eating it was super small portions and i use baby spoons. I ate pudding from a tiny bowl that i use to serve salsa or catsup to my kids. I was up walking the same night because the gas pains were almost unbearable. I had no idea i would have this gas pain. My family went to San Diego this weekend and we walked a ton. The more i move the better i feel.

Called My Surgeon On His Cell. Thought I Was Dying...
I was told same about ibuprofen, it can cause bleeding in you're stomach and even hemorrhages. my doctors were very serious when they explained this.

What A Weekend
Im the same way. when I did the psych eval I ended up continuing to see my psychiatrist and she prescribed me zoloft. she explained that when we eat "happy hormones" are released in our body when we don't eat it, it.can cause depression especially when we have to deal with stressful situations.

Anyone Get Sick After Surgery?
Thanks for responding. I'm sorry you had the same experience, kinda sucks. But I'm glad to hear its from the tube, getting sick would be awful right now. It will be worth it in the long run. ;~)

Anyone Get Sick After Surgery?
I initially thought my sore throat was from the tube in my throat during surgery. Now, my tonsils are red and looks like they may be getting some tiny white spots, feels like step throat.
