Oh trust me , my farts always smelled like death for 3 weeks post op and don't trust a fart when you feel it because a couple of times I shat myself .....

Thanks guys, I wanted to make sure I wasnt going crazy

I been there, i had to get IV fluids around 4 weeks post op and my vein went flat because it was so bad! and tell me that needle stick hurt! i never hurt during labs or donating blood with them big needles before so i can relate to your pain haha. You just need to be drinking something all the time. with electrolytes preferably. There are powders you can buy for water bottles.

ok this i have discussed alot trying to figure it out. I was 252lbs heaviest before my gastric bypass back in October and i was never a person to feel cold unless its snowing outside. And i live in south central Texas , but the thing is now that i had my surgery and lost just about 40lbs, im always feeling cold and what makes it worse is the current time of year and my parents always have the thermostat set to 60-65F IN THE HOUSE even during winter! HELP!

im post op 2 months also. You don't want to rush extreme lifting though because i have a abdominal hernia from my daughters cesarean that happened 5 years ago because i went working too soon and lifted too much. I goto the gym now but im not bench pressing anything . I started a light workout with a weighted ball that was simply 10 pounds and i would sit on my butt and place the ball to the left , right , then back left again and it didn't strain anything. Everybody is different but just be on the safe side.

I had the RNY gastric bypass with Pompeii back on 10/16/19, and im trying out a tiny sandwhich and i took only 2 decent bites and now im full. Has anybody ever tried bread? also my weight loss has slowed , i started at 252lbs and now im 215lbs. does anybody know why it drags down to a snail pace with weight loss?
