I'm doing better today. Thank God! I plan on going for a walk with my dogs tomorrow. I hope it will help eliminate the remainder of the gas. I'm doing my best to try and burp every time I take a drink to help alleviate extra gas pains. So far today I haven't felt nauseous. Thank God!!!

I'm 3 weeks out and it feels like I pulled a muscle in my lower left abdomen. I'm not feeling nausea, dizziness, fever or anything other than the twinge when I move a certain way or sneeze. Anyone else experience this?

I am in my 4th week and this sounds exactly what I have experienced. This twinge/cramp in my lower left abdomen has me stumped and I have not been able to link it with food consumption, drinking copious amounts of Water, or position. It is a mystery; but, not a problem considering I have experienced NO vomiting, nausea, or associated surgical pain.

I had that happen too over the week end and I think it was due to lifting something too heavy like my three year old grandson. I felt like I pulled an abdominal muscle.

This started a couple of days ago. Like I said, no other symptoms except that twinge of pain from time to time. I wish I had an answer. I don't think its a leak since there are no other symptoms.

Hi guys,

I am two weeks post, and I am hardly losing anything. ...like 4 lbs???

Kinda frustrated, anyone else experience this? I am hoping it's just my body adjusting to the shock of losing my

gallbladder and part of my stomach.....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
