Not too bad for me - I'm only 3 days in (surgery 9/15 in am) though. So I'm still struggling with liquids. I am only down.1 pound so that's discouraging. Hang in there! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Mine was the 15th, 2 days ago. Been home from the hospital less than 24 hours. Gas pain is pretty bad, but is getting better - I'm going to leave a mark in my upstairs carpet pacing it so much to break up the gas!! Outside of that, I'm only one pound down from morning of surgery. Thought it'd be faster, but we'll see how the week goes. Best of luck to everyone!! Wishing a pain free recovery to all ????????

I dealt with that. I'm 5'11 so my weight is just spread out. Lost 12 pounds on the pre op diet, so far after surgery 3 days ago, have only lost one more. Thought it'd be more. I had a 40-41 BMI - at 27 it was time to make the change before I went on to be even more overweight. So, do what's right for you and ignore anyone who isn't supportive. You don't need their negativity! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

That's almost where I am ... only 2 in the AM but 14 at night - some are horse pill sized!!! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone!! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Thanks - I know capsules and XR meds can't be cut, unfortunately Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. Did you find cutting pills in half helped? Both sections at once, or just broken into smaller pieces? Sent from my SM-T550 using the BariatricPal App

Day 2 - surgery bright and early yesterday AM. hadn't had my normal meds since 2 nights ago. So I laid them out and split them, over 2 hours. Ended up having to get out of bed, or I was going to throw it all up. Anyone have ideas on how to take pills? They're prescription meds, I can't really just skip them.

Wow I can't imagine having to do that. I waited 18 months but never had to switch Dr's. Best of luck Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Anyone have an opinion on stairs? Haven't tried yet, but seems like it might help. Was only home from hospital yesterday and too chicken to try. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Don't have any advice, but I'm with you! Wasn't expecting this odd pain. Wish I could sleep some. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Hi all. Just got home today from sleeve surgery yesterday. I'm trying to stay hydrated, but it is so hard. Gas/incision pain and pain everytime I take a sip of anything. How lobby does this last? What's the worst part before you get to the good side of the mountain? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App
