Well there's no turning back now... I'm in so much pain. Mostly gas pains but thats no joke! And my ribs so tight and achy. I feel like I can't Move my upper body in my own. I had hoped I'd get some sleep in tonight but I'm waking up every 45 minutes. How long did these gas pains last for you guys? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I should start taking milk of magnesia... the nurse recommended for constipation. I don't feel like I need to but tomorrow will be 1 week since What else is good for getting it going? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just as a little update.... I am now 5 days out and feeling almost normal A little tenderness on the tummy to be expected but haven't taken any pain meds since Saturday and back to routine bringing kids to school and whatnot. Still feels a little burny if I have Water that's too cold or my shake but overall. Better Thanks for the well wishes everybody! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 5 days out and up 4 pounds from surgery day. I expected the first few days maybe I'd be still filled up with Iv fluids but thought it would even out by now I've just been trying to get a shake in a day and maybe a little Soup for lunch/dinner and then maybe a sugar free Popsicle. I hope it starts going in the other direction soon. Feeling a little down about it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I found my c-section recovery was was so easy though one of my twin boys was put in nicu and seeing him there had me instantly vomiting... could've just been the anesthesia wearing off but.. I had my surgery 4 days ago and what is comparable... whatever pain you have seems to be short lived. Sure I had awful gas pains and felt I couldn't move the upper half of my body but 2 days after... meh! Just excited for 2017!

I had mine Jan 4 and have been very thankful for no nausea or vomiting. I did have terrible gas pains for a few days but I do have a slight fear of vomiting which I was very nervous about. Can't complain. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 3 days out and find anything cold burns as it goes down. I am wondering how long that lasts... I mean right now I'm sipping on a shake trying to get the most nutrients in that I can but ouch. Soups feel better going down but even trying to drink Water... I hope this gets better... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have been walking throughout... the pain is starting to ease up. Definitely better than last night. Going to be discharged soon. Happy to be on the losers bench now at least Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I thought I was going in feeling pretty prepared as I've had a laparoscopic surgery before but that was regarding my tubal ligation. This was way worse! But on the plus side after this past nap my shoulder pain has improved. I had taken gas x and walked about five laps slowly. The pain under my ribs is still awful though, the nurse said that's more than likely the surgical pain. She just gave me a shot of something. Hope it helps.

Jan 4th surgery date for me 1 week into my pre-op diet and I'm down 12 lbs Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am one week into my pre-op diet Surgery date is Jan 4. It was tough being around all the snacks over the holidays but stuck to it and am down 12 lbs! It has gotten easier now, I feel less bloated and I feel proud of myself for me, when it comes to food and eating, that's a first... Usually my eating habits make me feel like I'm failing a diet Good luck! Excited for our January surgeries!

My pre-op diet starts Wednesday... surgery is on the 4th. It consists of 3 shakes and then a small serving of low glycemic vegetables... My family is doing Christmas dinner tonight, early so I can partake. I'm nervous for the upcoming starving phase but so ready too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
