This maybe to much info, but today is day 11 post OP and I was finally able to have a decent BM. I was so excited I woke my husband up. Lol

I have been on the acid reflux meds for years too, but when it got tough my go to was always Rolaids. I just suck on them until I can chew in fine pieces, honestly my doctor never told me to do this but I did and it helped with no problems, thank goodness I guess. Can I ask if you are BM regular, because I get the tailbone pain when I know I have to go and I can't! Believe me we are going through this together as is everyone else on here. Hang in there.

I had surgery same day as you on 4/15, one week yesterday. My Gerd has been so bad it scares me to drink to much of anything, been also having hard time getting all my fluids in daily , sucking on rolaids does help my acid and like the previous most said I strain lite soups and use as broths. Popsicles have been good also, Are you still on pain meds?

I had never even thought about it until someone else had said something about how well I tolerated the prep that maybe I could of just stated on it to lose weight, I have over 100 pounds to lose 2 pounds a week would of taken me forever, I had the surgery a week ago and already down 18 pounds from surgery date. It's your mind trying to fool you .Good luck all with surgery's the rest of the month

I had surgery 4/15, and I actually had gained 2 pounds after, but I was told that it was because of being swollen and some gas, plus all the fluids given.

@BRittenhouse I'm sorry your having such a bad time, I don't have 7 children but I do have a lot of animals that can't understand why they can't sit on me and why I can't play much. I had mine on 4/15 and still only on clear water and stomach feels like severe cramps, I did wake up today and the pain was a lot less, so all I can say is Day by Day, do you have a support system to help? Hang in there, it's got to get better ?

That's exactly what happened with me, now I'm afraid to try any I pretty much just got most of the gas out. Also, did you have any issue with a BM? 4 days out I haven't gone yet?

I am 3 days home from surgery, I can't drink anything cold yet, has anyone else dealed with this and when will this change, I miss cold water!

I have been having major mood swings, my team told me it's because of hormonal changes. I wasn't prepared to go through menopause again. I have 3 days out of surgery

Sleeping in any position, I can lay a little better on my left side than my right. I do have to walk a few times at night when my gas builds up.

How long does it take for the incisions to heal enough that I can lay down and sleep more than an hour at a time? 2 days post-surgery

4/15, one day post OP and wishing this gas would stop, food is the last thing on my mind.

I also have gerd but my surgeon said the sleeve would be better for me, I wander why the difference?

Surgery's tomorrow, I am very excited. I already met two others same day, one right before me the other right after me. Makes me feel like I'm not alone. Wish me luck.

Been on pre-OP diet since thursday, my surgery is 4/15 , time is flying by. very excited , I go for EKG on Monday and Covid test. Than it's just waiting till Thursday. ?

Don't they give you anything for the gas?

Starting the prep diet today, for my 4/15 surgery, ate so much yesterday for Easter. I'm kind of glad to drink my meals today.

Does anyone else have diabetes and trying to stay on liquid diet?

My surgery is 4/15, I start liquid diet on the 5th and liquids for ten days after surgery. I asked not even pudding ? Doctor doesn't have a sense of humor. lol

I am a newbie also, congrats on yours also

I am 2 days after you on the 15th, sleeve also. Excited?

I have Gerd and am really worried about it getting worse, surgery is 4/15?

Thanks, I am excited. Just nervous more I guess

Just scheduled my surgery for 4/15 and I just turned 63, still wondering if I should go through with it ?
