    Go slow post-op and let your body heal! I'm only 10 days post op and I think I have pushed it too far at times (both with food and activity). Welcome to the other side!!

    I am 9 days post op....first three days was a bit rough....im down 19 lbs since preop.....loving it. Take it slow and if u get gas (and you will) gasx makes strips that disolve on your tongue....get them. THEY ARE AMAZING!!! GOOD LUCK!

    I'm 5 days post op.. Yeh gas is probably the most annoying thing.. Just take it easy and let your body heal.. Tell the anaesthetist to go easy as well.. Mine gave me a throat infection from the incubation tubes.. But otherwise, things are going well.. I don't regret it one bit!
