I DID NOT LOOSE ANY WEIGHT THE FIRST 6 DAYS. THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE YOU HAD SO MANY FLUIDS PUMPED IN YOU . YOU HAVE Water WEIGHT AND THE GAS.

THAT SIDE IS USUALLY MORE SWOLLEN AND TENDER THIS IS THE INCISION THAT THEY REMOVED 2/3 OF YOUR STOMACH OUT OF IT MINE STILL IS SORE AND I AM 3 WEEKS OUT.

I CANT WAIT TO EAT AN AVACADO. 3 WEEKS OUT TOMORROW

My hospital stay was good. I didnt have to decide anything everything was taken care of. i was taken care of. Like a mini vacation for me. my favorite part was the sugar free popsicles. so good not hungry just dry mouth.

My name is Kelly, starting weight 225 lbs. i am 5'5 and turning 50 years old this year. I was so nervous for the surgery. Scared to death actually. When I arrived in my hospital room after recovery I was just thankful to be alive. It was silly really because my surgeon said it was a text book case and everything went really well. I had no pain at first. In fact the sutures were not my problem. It was the gas left over from the surgery that was the most painful. But after about 5 days and stopping the meds, a couple glasses of Metamucil and that went away also. What a relief. try to stop pain meds asap. so constipating...! I am very excited for my journey. tomorrow will be exactly 3 weeks since my surgery. I have lost 20 pounds. However I am having a problem with head hunger. I also still have no willpower. I have tasted my husbands salmon, chinese food and have eaten food before allowed. the guilt is killing me and I know i would of lost more weight by now if I wasnt such a cheater. Why cant I control myself. No.. I cannot eat alot. and I only took a bite. but i have been told over and over again. the first six months is the most important. DO NOT CHEAT DO NOT CHEAT. FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES FOLLOW YOUR STAGES.

Me too. The week before I pigged out on all my favorites. Kinda like saying goodbye to them. Day before my surgery. All liquid diet

Get off pain meds asap. They constipate so much. Gas pains are the worst. It will all go away. I'm 19 days out. Feeling tired still. Occasional. Suture soreness. But all good

Do you ever get over the discomfort of even the liquids going down and settling in stomach? Or will it forever be this way?

19 days out. Feel much better. It was definitely getting all the gas out that was so relief. Much better now

Do you ever stop feeling the discomfort of even liquids going down and settling in belly?? 9 days out.

Mine was only 80 minutes. It's recovery that takes forever before they let your mom back My surgeon told me it went perfectly. Text book case

My surgery was April 6th. Also. I was so scared. And the gas pains are something else.my advice for that it to stop pain meds asap. the first time was such a labor of love I call it. I drank some mechanical. And also took some Gas X.finally that's fading..must walk yes.
