Well.. just had along.. with other things my first post op surgeon consult.. it went pretty well I think.. the scale showed a good number which was cool.. down 23 lbs since last monday.. so that's nice.. still have a pretty long road ahead of me but that was a nice thing to see. Highest weight = 497 Surgery weight = 474 Current weight = 451

I'm too heavy for normal scales still.. so on the bright side this isnt an issue.. 9 days post op. I see my surgeon tomorrow for my first post surgery consult.. and I'll see what I've lost since. Hw: 495 Sw:475 Cw:?

Not gag.. hiccup.. hiccup's suck at the moment.

Wow.. ya.. I have government assistance Medicaid and they covered it.. crazy a private wouldn't.

Hehe at least you were at kohls so you could buy new pants [emoji2]

I'm 8 days. Last Monday was my date

Sneeze.. no.. when I gag.. yes.

As well as like a crawling sensation at the bottom of my throat.. which makes me feel nauseous

It's an uncomfortable feeling of fullness and pressure right in the middle of my gut.

Just wondering.. has anyone dealt with a feeling of pressure in your stomach that lasts a couple days? Been dealing with this since yesterday.. still hasn't gone away.. going to go for a walk with my mom this afternoon.. hopefully that will give me some relief.. walking is still tough for me.. I'm still very heavy.. so I get winded fast. But ya my surgery weight was 475 down from 495 at my highest.. I have my first post op consult on Thursday so I'll see what I've lost since last monday.. had surgery on the 22nd.

Good luck to all you November people.. I just had my surgery on the 22nd of October. Been dealing with some not so amazing side effects the last couple days.. but as with everything.. it is only temporary. Good luck all.

I'm 8 days and I've been dealing with some complications.. talked to the nurse and they said it's normal to feel uncomfortable. Just have to live with it for now.

Drinking warm water now.. seeing if it helps

Called the office.. nurse told me the feeling may be phlegm.. and that it's normal I haven't gone no. 2 yet.. and that it's normal to feel strange.. so that's good.. I didnt tell her about the chocolate:p I will tell my surgeon when i have my first post op consult thursday..

No more chocolate I guess idk if that's what did it.. was only one Hershey kiss but still not gonna chance that in the future..

But that's the thing.. oh.. ya.. I had one Hershey kiss.. ugh.. also I tried to eat 5 Ritz crackers but spit them out after I chewed them but I guess some of the cracker got down.. just hard to believe the negative effects of that would last so long.. it's almost been a full day since that.

Just put a suppository in.. well see what that does.. if anything. This is frustrating. 2 days ago I was super hungry.. now that's all gone but my stomach feels like crap and now I have a weird taste in my mouth..

Been suffering with a feeling of light nausea, stomach pressure and the slight feeling something's sitting in my throat since yesterday.. not sure what's going on.. feel pretty crappy. Still have yet to use the bathroom, hoping that's not what's causing this.. praying for it to get better..

Good luck [emoji2]

It's been almost a week since my procedure.. haven't been able to go to the bathroom yet.. passed a decent amount of gas but no no. 2, I just took 2 stool softeners hopefully those help..

Saturday morning.. stomach has been rumbling like crazy since last night.. I still feel hungry.. but like full at the same time.. well not full.. but like it feels like theres something there.. I tried to convince the fam that low fat string cheese wouldn't be a bad option.. and got shot down so fast.. oh well.. here's to more watered down juice hah.. was told by the fam that they noticed my legs were losing fat in them.. it's only been almost a week.. 5 full days now.. hard to believe its noticable already but who knows?

Ya.. I'm so glad I found this app.. it's really great knowing other people are on the same journey as me and also being able to communicate with them about the whole process.. it's really great.

I'm pretty good.. no real complaints.. or complications only thing I've noticed recently is my stomach is rumbling alot..

.

The protein mix I have is plant based but I use water to mix it.. I tried milk before surgery didnt like it.. so maybe just use water instead of milk? I use currently Orgain creamy chocolate protein powder its surprisingly pretty tasty.. bought it at Costco
