Well its almost 48 hours after surgery, and things are good pain is an average of a 3 1/2 worst a 5 1/2 not so bad. gas today is the worst. Feels like im going to give my self a hernia at the slightest attempt to push it out. so really careful about that. other then that this is cake. no hunger yet. I've lost 15 pounds since the 10 day pre-diet to now so 15 pounds. I was 290 im 265 now since I started with Swedish weight loss. Dr Ross McMahon is a mad genius and I highly recommend this surgeon. Down to earth with the highest level of confidence he his in him self he instills that in you. Made me soooo comfortable. I give him a 12 out of 10!!! life is good even in pain:) only negative is im a non- smoker (I quit 1 1/2 years ago) and am coughing up blackish green thick phlegm all day today. Anybody else have this?

I would call the doctor. That doesn't sound good

Congrats! I had my surgery yesterday. Still in a lot of pain where they put my port and feeling a lot of the pain from the gas they put in me still but as far as coughing stuff up i'm doin the same thing. I'm relieved to not be the only one. I'm not to sure it has anything to do with smoking tho maybe the anastesia....I dono I'm with you I'd like to know what it's all about. I haven't gotten hungry at all either. I had to make myself eat a very small amount of jello just to ave something in me. I've just been craving ice water that's all I want. Good luck to you on your journey!

Thanks ladies. Stacy don't take this the wrong way but im glad im not the only one coughing up stuff. makes it fell normal. My pain is really minimal. Only every once in a while when I cough. Haven't sneezed yet but am dreading it . anyone have any preemptive advice on how to sneeze without dying? Also Stacy you are allowed to eat jello?
