Hey girls. I think I'm over the gas pains but 2 of my incisions still hurt. They are just tender and since I have a cold it hurts to cough. They are bruised pretty good but the bruises aren't huge. I don't even want to get on the scale yet. Lol! Are y'all wearing a binder around your stomach? I think it helps. I'm just sip sip sippin on Water right now. :)

Thanks for the binder reminder. I got on the scale preop 215 now 206.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using VST

Nice! I'm going to wait a few days since I had so many fluids pumped in. I feel weird without my binder now! I actually may replace my binder w/ spankx when I go back to work.

I wasn't given a binder, what is that? I have something to wear on my legs when I'm laying down. I've been ok getting broth down. My Dr lets me use a heating pad which helps the soreness on my tummy. Gas x strips are helping with bloated feeling. I'm glad we are all posting and going through this together. As bad as I felt the first two days, I still feel it was worth it. We will get past this hump! I got on the scale today...started at 219.6 at home now at 212.4

Did you purchase the binder ahead of time or did the hospital provide you with it? I'll have to ask my surgeon if he supplies you with one!

Hospital provided the binder. I woke up with it on. Keeps your stomach in and puts pressure on the incisions. It feels good to me. I'm sure you could purchase them at a medical supply store but ask you doc if he uses them....the one thing I've learned from this blog is every doc is different! Some are drastically different!

I did not receive a binder also. But I am thinking to go buy one so it can help me. I feel good just it's when I get up and down from the bed but besides that I'm good and ready to loose weight

It helps a lot with getting up and down from the bed. Funny that I woke up at the exact time my painkillers are due. My tummy is rumbling away. Assuming its thirsty?! And recovering?

I'm looking for you to give me inspiration. I'm in San Antonio too. I start my pre-op diet Monday. I am with Dr. Gonzalez scheduled for Feb 18th. I will be at NE Baptist. Keep us posted on how your recovery goes.

Lol I wake up at the same time also my painkillers are due. My stomach is growling like crazy too and I feel gas in there still but I also had a hernia so I'm guessing that's more painful

Jennifer, I had a hernia repaired too. Nurses said it would take a good week or so to get rid of all the gas. Could be both I guess. Are you getting your liquids in? Today's the first day I'll be tracking it.

I am not getting all the liquids in as of yet. I'm doing it today I'm home all day so I think it would be better. I already drank about 3 oz of Water since this morning every 15 mins. I am also doing Protein Shake so I'm good I think and Jello

      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
