I woke up today with an upset stomach. I have done well until now. I haven't felt nauseous until now. I haven't got sick yet. My stomach feels really empty. I have been keeping up with my fluids to stay hydrated. I am not drinking any Protein shakes yet. Doc said not a big deal until I am on my full liquid diet (1 week post op).

I was on the Atkins diet pre op and lost 12 pounds. I have only lost 3 pounds since surgery on 8/27. I see some of you have lost more. How much walking is everyone doing?

I too was also banded on the 27th. I am in the same boat as ya'll. The first thing I remember saying in recovery was "This hurst alot more than I thought it would" The port site pain was crazy bad for me. I have been walking the length of my street, sometimes just half to deal with my gas pain. Now don't get me wrong. There are only 4 houses on my street so it's not too far. I am still taking my pain meds about twice a day. And honestly some of my pain comes from starving. Yesterday I was taking a little nap and my stomach growling actually woke me up. :thumbup: My follow up is tomorrow and I am pretty sureI go to mushies then. I can not wait!!!:biggrin:

Hey I was banded on Aug 27th. I've only had Water, juices and clear Soup. My belly is making all kinds of sounds. My post-op visit is Fri Aug 3. My total weight loss since banded is 14 pounds.

I had some pain the first night I did not take the pain medication I was scared my belly was going to get upset. Overall I feel good Monday I went to the store and pick up a few things today I went got my hair done it was a mess.

Anybody in Los Angeles,CA where I'm located.

my bloating seems to be going away a little at a time, but now my port site is still swollen and sore. Everything else is moving right along and I feel pretty good!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
