I am two days post op and feeling really good! Gas pain is gone just incisional pain now. I've taken 1/2 miles walks every morning and went shopping and treated myself to a pedicure :) On top of feeling great I have lost three pounds woo hoo :) Loving this new life but I have to admit I am counting down the days until I am on the mushy diet... 12 days lol

Congrats! I'm 5 days post op. No gas pain in the shoulder like some, just rumblings in my belly.

Incision pain sometimes when I move, but the abdominal belt is helping that! No fill in my band, and I've had 2 Protein Shakes and broth today.

Feeling pretty good!

You speak of an abdominal belt....what is that? Where can I get one?

Is this like one used for pregnancy?

Yeah I think it's like the pregnancy belts. I ordered mine from Amazon. It's by Gabrialla and its the abdominal support binder. I got the one with breathable elastic.

I've been wearing it around the house and it has helped a lot with the pain I get from my incisions by my tummy moving all the time, I.e., when I climb stairs in my house, sitting in a chair, the bed, the toilet! Of course this is a time I wish I had handicap toilets in the house so I wouldn't have to squat so far down! Lol. Besides my chewable gas-x, this is the best thing I have purchased!

How come I have gained 5 lbs? Before surgery I lost 19lbs in 1 week just following no carbs but since surgery I've gained. I'm not thrilled to see that!

Don't be discouraged about the temporary gain. Everyone's body reacts differently. Follow your doctors instructions and I promise the weight will start coming off. And don't forget...depending on how recent your surgery was...that swelling occurs and will add some weight. Best of luck on your journey. :)

Thanks! I am 3 days out. I am just really happy that the gas pains-that my Dr failed to mention have started to subside.

Oh I know! I got the worst pains from the gas during surgery too! When I woke up in recovery, they were saying I was funny because I was (still pretty drugged) whimpering about having the wrong procedure done...because my stomach didn't hurt and my shoulders were killing me! Lol

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
