Im due to have gastric bypass 25th September anyone else?

I had my surgery Tuesday and came home yesterday. I am sore by the biggest incision and I know when i'm gonna burp quite a bit because my shoulder will hurt. I've been sipping and walking. I'm nervous to last on my side.

At the hospital I am so happy that I brought chapstick!

Thats soreness is where your port is. I had the problem of not being able to lay on my side for more than 2 weeks...I am still unable to lay on my stomach and I was banded 9/7/12. Glad you are able to burp as I didn't have thay luxury. Gas would move but I would never burp...then it would just sit there and hurt...ugh. The worst of it is over for you. Congrats for taking the big step.

I am now 3 days post op, yesterday was so rough had problems keeping some of the antiacid medicines down they had prescribed me which had all day made me nauseated. I am doing 75% better then yesterday Decided to lay off the meds until my post op visit. I quit taking my pain meds the 2nd day I was home it kept me tired and not moving around enough. Today and not to be vulgar was able to fart and it felt amazing to not come up as a burp. Hang in there it gets better and better every day just try to do as many fluids as you can.

Welcome to the club! Rest and walk.

Does anyone else have dizziness? I got so dizzy in the shower I couldn't even finish my shower. But im thinking its bc I got in a hot shower after taking my pain meds. Or maybe my sugar was low?

Yes, I get dizzy when I stand in one place. I have to either keep walking or lay down.

Tomorrow is the day I'm super excised. I will post tomorrow to tell you all how I'm doing

I am still getting dizzy in various circumstances. Not sure if it is related to blood sugar, as I don't have any of my other typical symptoms. If it continues, it goes on my list of questions for the doc next time I see him.

Thats not vulgar hun...that's why were here. We understand. I remember my first post op fart. It was heaven. That was the only way I lost my gas. It would move up for a burp and never come out. That's why I was in pain so long. I was taking gas strips. I never enjoyed farting so much in my life. :-)

Congrats to you!

Lol glad my using the word fart didn't offend anyone. Today I moved onto sugar free pudding, and yougurt plus all the fluids. I am still trying to sense out feelings of fullness. I also got my medicine down today I cut it into 4s and took it with 4 sips of water it seems to have worked couldn't do the crushed up medicine it made me get sick and then feel sick the whole day. Hope everyone is feeling well!

Give it time it took me until day 3 and finally went #2 today. I am feeling pretty well but hunger has finally hit me.

I am 3 days out from surgery & still clear liquids only. Hunger is hitting hard. I am allowed to attempt full liquids tomorrow. Never thought I would look forward to a protein shake!!
