Oh Synlee I'm so sorry. You'll have to go in soon as you'll be rather dehydrated by now. Plus they can run some tests, some kind of scan would be good to see if anything looks not quite right. Remind me what WLS you had? I wish I could make all this disappear for you. I'm hoping Loot chimes in, I saw them post elsewhere with similar issues, you're not alone. Big hugs to you.

Hey everyone, been nearly 24 hours and I feel pretty good. Surgery went great. Spent the night in hdu because of my sleep apnoea. I think I'd have been here anyway as my blood pressure was 180. Settled now but still on high side so I'll monitorat home and see my gp to review. Could just be the whole experience right now raising it. I've been having IV fluids mostly and can have 50mls fluid an hour. I'm doing a barium swallow shortly and if there's no leaks I can have full clear liquids. Going to bariatric ward in about 90 minutes too where I'll have my own room.
My pain is manageable, only discomfort at the higher incision sites. It was quite painful in recovery initially. I had nausea then too and felt like I needed to burp. Gas pain does hurt but I don't have much of it and when it comes it's only a few seconds only.
Going home tomorrow as long as I'm drinking around 1 litre.

Thanks!
I was just telling my husband that this is such a mind game. I'm not physically hungry at this stage, but oh man, my mind sure want to have it's way. And talking myself into taking liquid and powdered medicine everyday has been a real challenge because they make me feel sick. Whoever said wls is the easy way out has zero clue all that's involved.

Hey all! Just a quick update. I'm just over a week out from surgery and doing well. Certain things like sneezing or coughing still cause me some abdominal pain. But it's getting better. I'm having the most trouble with fatigue. I'm doing well at getting my goals in, or at least close to it. So I'm not sure what's going on. On a happy note, since the start of my pre-op diet, until now, I've lost 25lbs in 3 weeks. I can see some subtle changes, and it is wonderful.

I am brand new to this forum. My surgery date is 05/30.

Y'all, I'm so sad all the time. Pain, phantom hunger, family members that don't understand. My husband, bless him, is trying, but I feel like he is forcing me to drink all day. I tell him that a sip of water feels like I drank a whole gallon. It's uncomfortable for me. I'm making my goals, or at least close to it. It's so frustrating. I keep telling myself it's temporary. That things will get better. That it will be worth it. But right now, it just sucks.

Went to my favorite Chinese restaurant and got their wonton soup. Stained out the bits and had the most glorious broth for lunch. Today was a good day despite the pain I'm still feeling.

Had my surgery yesterday! Everything went well and I should be going home later today.

Hey, all. Surgery went well yesterday. My surgery sight isn't very painful, but the gas is. I'm still recovering in the ICU. They have me here because of getting an RNY and I'm on cpap. The staff has been great. I didn't sleep well last night. Too many beeps, leg compression device, and discomfort. But better than yesterday.

May 2nd here.
On day 4 of optifast and water and having a really hard time stomaching it because of the metallic taste in my mouth after I drink it.
Not really having the "hunger" feelings like days 1-3 but do have an "empty" feeling. Hard to explain.
10 pounds down and the only place I can tell is in my fingers... HaHa

Just got my surgery date for May 12th....anyone else having theirs that day?
