Just wondering I am two days post op and in horrible pain. I believe they are gas pains from my stomach up to my chest and back. Has anyone experienced this? And also I haven't been hungry but seeing food on tv makes me want it so much. I didn't realize how attached I was too food until the day I had my surgery and was watching tv in the hospital and saw a pizza commercial and my mouth watered and I wanted it badly lol. Just wondering if others are having the same problem as me...

It sounds to me that the pain you are having is normal for the first few days. As for the food. I didn't want food at all that early in but we are all different.

Hard to say about the pain- I had both horrible post-op pain and horrible gas pain, lasting the first week, but by the second week I was feeling better. Walking around was the only thing that made me feel better. I never took gas-x, but a lot of people post how it helps them. I totally know what you are going through regarding food cravings- my first week I can remember every time my hubby would have something to eat, it was really hard because his food smelled so good and I HATED drinking Protein Shakes. I wasn't hungry, but I think it was my food addiction that I was dealing with where my brain and eyes controlled what I ate, not my stomach. Food issues became MUCH easier for me after week 2 when I was on pureed food and could start eating things with flavor. I have no issues with it now- my hubby could eat an entire pizza in front of me and I wouldn't care.

But i my gastro doctor told me to by the over the counter mylanta (in liquid form) i just bought it today and im hoping it works! Hopefully for you as well. It is not easy but a few months from now it will be worth it!!

      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...

      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
