I've been having back pains too! I didn't know why but I try to alternate between sitting straight up on the couch and laying down propped up. Gas is still there but very minimal. Fun, huh? LOL Purplej, Long Island I've been having back pains too! I didn't know why but I try to alternate between sitting straight up on the couch and laying down propped up. Gas is still there but very minimal. Fun, huh? LOL Purplej, Long Island Girl they are serious lol that's like the only uncomfortable thing for me right now.

These gas pains are no joke. Two days post op and last night I slept on my bed, it was a bit of a challenge. It's like I have to be propped up and can't lay flat, my back hurts extremely. hopefully this shall pass soon! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well the Magnesium Citrate has been flowing throughout since 10AM this morning! I'm kinda happy I did the 10 day liquid diet because with that I can get a taste of the post-op diet and be prepared and aware! . Surgery in less than 24 hours! Woohooooooo!

@@candaloosa congrats doll! Hoping for a speedy recovery! That is amazing that you are feeling great can't wait for my day, only 4 days away! That sounds like a good idea, to put a timer due to it having to be every 30 minutes I will keep that in mind! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Purplej thank you so much for that! It's crunch time for me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@NoOneIsStoppingMeButMe girl I feel you! My surgery is in 5 days and the last thing I need is for my liver to not be in good shape! Those shakes make me gag that's why I looked through the handout I got from my classes and saw the Slim Fast line, but missed the whole point that it had to be the LOW CARB ones! Ugh Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ok so I'm totally freaking out at this point. Today I purchased two cases of Slim-Fast Creamy chocolate Meal Replacement shakes for my 10 day Pre Op diet days, I'm 6 days in already and for the last 3 days I I've been having trouble with the Bariatric Advantage shakes to the point were I don't want to drink them and I'm just drinking Water with sugar free Crystal Light so I'm constantly hungry... The reason why I'm freaking out is because in doing research about the shakes, they have a lot of sugar (24g to be exact) and it stores in your liver. I had 2 today. Guys I don't know what to do...

@@katychad1018 thank you so much for that advice doll! I will make sure I tell my surgeon and nurses about that I want to be in less pain as possible ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@workingmom163 good luck with your first check up! ???? Yes keep that hydration good! Lol omg is the gas that bad? Do the farts creep up? I have a townhouse so our bedroom is on the second floor. I wonder how challenging it'll be walking up those steps after surgery . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@workingmom163 thank you so much! That helps immensely! ???? when is your first checkup day? How are you feeling so far? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@cendella170 your lucky girl! My surgeon told me he will place one. My friend that had her surgery with my doctor told me how painful the removal was. I'm scared about that! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Post Op Buddies! I have a question please! Is it true that the tube they put for drainage from your pouch to the outside of your tummy is EXTREMELY painful when it's removed? If so, did they give any pain meds or helped you guys out in any way with this? Thank You!
