I weighed my pros and cons Plus this support group really helped. I was so scared and anxious that I was going to cancel until I got on this site The day before my surgery. The responses I received was so encouraging that all that fear I had was gone.

You should call your DR and let them know

It will get better.

I agree. The weight will come off

Regular vitamin water has 32 g of sugar in it. Vitamin zero has no sugar.

I was told to not ever take ibuprofen (aleve, advil etc) They can cause stomach bleeding. Believe me I know. Had emergency surgery because of continued use of aleve several years ago.

I am 3 weeks post op. I had diarrhea real bad one day Last week. I called drs. Office and was told this is normal. I probably ate something that did not agree or some sweeteners Can cause this. It stopped that night. I realize 2 things I ate did not Agree.

Don't over pack. I just needed charger and loose fitting clothes to wear home. The hospital supplied everything Else I needed. Oh! Take some GAS X STRIPS with you. They work!!!!

Congratulations [emoji3]!

You should be losing weight. Maybe your activity level is low. Try walking longer walks. I am losing very well because I exercise everyday. Water aerobics is good too.

Flintstone chewables Calcium liquid or chewy bites

Thank you. I am 3 weeks post op. I called drs. Office and was told it is normal. Could be something I ate did not agree. I do have IBS Before surgery.

Thank you!

Thank you!

You will be fine. I was scared too but realize now it is the best thing I have done.

My Dr recommended several Ones to see. Insurance should pay for it or portion of it.

It will pass. I never regretted after surgery. I really had a good experience. Just keep walking as much as you can. You have swelling right now. Once swelling goes down some it gets better. DON'T forget that protein helps with healing!
