Day after surgery!!

[lovebugmom 2]

Good morning all! I am new to this site I have really enjoyed reading everyone's questions and stories! So I had my surgery yesterday. My first weigh in at consultation was 220 I started my pre op diet a little early yesterday before surgery I weighed 190! I am so excited about this new healthy life ahead! I felt great yesterday I was really worried how I would feel today so far great no gas pains yet so hopefully it stays that away! Looking forward to meeting new ppl on here for all the wonderful support!! Thank you all for so much information on here!! Is it normal at first to not have a problem drinking I have seen some ppl had a hard time with liquids after surgery. I can not tell a difference yet. Is this normal?

Everyone varies. I never had any trouble with liquids as long as I did not try to gulp down too much at once. Congrats on your surgery and progress so far. Best wishes for your recovery.

I too had mine yesterday. Hiatal repaired too. Have shoulder and neck pain wondering if that's the gas or the hernia repair causing the discomfort.

Did you sleep in recliner? Could only sleep an hour at a time.

Congrats on your loss before surgery, that's AWESOME!!!! Best of luck for a speedy recovery.

I also had hernia repair. I slept in my bed with pillows and I slept through the night. I have been walking a lot and I think that has helped. I hope your gas pains go away soon. Thank you and good luck to you on this new journey!!
