I have been drinking out of a 3 oz plastic cup starting today I hope it helps because I was afraid I may of too much last night at once from a Water bottle. Having problems determining gas pain, post surgery pain and full or not. It all hurts...

Going for a walk this am when I wake up more.

So if I drink 3 oz over a few minutes, how long before I can safely do it again?

Thanks Chad

I am walking, walking but this gas pain is killing me. Atleast I can tolerate some crystal light. I am not gonna lie. I know it will pass, but it is miserable today. Dang.

Just keep up the good work, take a little pain medication if you need and keep moving! Walking will really help get rid of the gas pains.

I'm officially post op today. Surgery was 8:00am, was up and walking by 2:30pm. Yay! No pain, just a little sore and mild nausea. Getting meds for nausea, just dealing with the soreness, hate pain meds. So far so good :)

How are you feeling today?

Thank you for asking. This is my second day at home after surgery on Monday. The gas pains yesterday were terrible, but I took two 45 min or so walks outside as well as some inside and I feel much, much better today. The bloated feeling is down. I have started drinking in 3 oz plastic mouthwash cups which helps me remember to slow down with sips. Harder than I thought. Pain wise much improved. Took one dose of liquid lortab and a gas x strip today. I am not very tired yet. Glad I have two weeks off. Today I swallowed my meds slowly. I do have to take prevacid, another capsule and two b/p pills. My surgeon said ok, but I am still worried. Prevacid meltaways are 600 a month. So, no thank you. :)

I am attracted to some foods post op that I have no business thinking about. Starting to see what head hunger post op is all about.

At this point, I am looking at Fluid intake, some exercise and a lot of rest.

Happy to be on the other side.

I am 5 lbs down since Monday.

      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
