I'm very excited and hopeful for my surgery on the 26th! I can't wait to start feeling better and healthier. Thanks to all who post on this site - it's been a great resource pre-surgery and I know I'll be back post-surgery.

Back home from surgery and feeling pretty good. I don't want to jinx it and I know I only had surgery this morning but I thought I'd be feeling much worse. The no-caffeine headache I had yesterday during the pre-op liquid diet (I was lucky and had only one day beforehand) was worse than any discomfort I feel today. Just tired and sipping my fluids and happy that that dreaded headache is gone. I have my pain meds and anti-nausea meds if needed. How is everyone doing? Anyone who had surgery today or yesterday?

The best to you all! ;)

Hi! I was banded on the 25th. All went well. I did have pain from the gas they use to inflate your abdominal cavity with. That was bad. Worse than the incisions.

I've been lucky with the gas so far but I am only on day 2. I have the gas x strips just in case. Have you used anything that has helped? My incisions are a bit sore today. Walked around the park a bit to loosen everything up.

The post op pain of the abdominal gas dissipated yesterday. I have the gas strips too. I haven't taken anything. So I don't know of anything better. But I have just been burping more. My incisions are sore too. That's it I don't have any other issues. The walking around is the only cure for post op gas pain. I didn't believe the Dr and nurses at first but they were right.

Are you keeping a food journal?

I haven't started a journal yet. I'm on Clear Liquids - sugar-free Jello, crystal lite, sugar-free Popsicles , Water of course and chicken broth. So far I'm not hungry at all. I'm making sure I get at least the minimum of 48 ounces of liquid a day.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
