Yes I have kids and also had several abdominal surgeries so I'm not new to surgery and I'm a nurse. I've been walking as much as I can but I am sooooo weak!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't have anymore gas pains. Just pain in one of the incision areas to the left. Also, is it normal to FEEL the actual liquid that I am drinking going down my stomach and when it reaches my intestines I get a little cramp that quickly goes away. Also my insides are LOUD and making all kinds of noises now. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Have a terrible headache....but that is probably my body detoxing from all the crap I've been eating. Still sore but hanging in there. I was 235 at surgery, I can't wait to get on that scale at doctors office next week. Hubby just got me some broths, Italian ices and sugar free Jello and sugar free iced pops to supplement my isopure and Water. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
