Hello I'm new to the forum. Glad I found this app. Well I had gastric bypass march 6,2012 . So I'm about 10 days post-op still have a good bit of pain on the sides of my abdomen. I've lost 30 lbs from my heaviest since I started the pre-op diet on February 18. I don't seem to have lost any inches though which sucks. The hardest part for me is drinking All the Water. I never was a big drinker :( but I'm trying. Well I wish everyone the best of luck on the weight loss journeys

Welcome! Congrats on your surgery. 10 days post-op, wait like two more weeks and u will see the inches disappear. You are still bloated from all the air they pumped in your belly. I wish you luck on your journey. So Water especially now does goes in and them comes right back out. I absolutely have to mix it with crystal light. I also got one of those blender bottles and it's 20 oz, so I know that if I drink 3 of those and a little of something else, (like I love Decaf coffee) then I will get my 64 oz in a day. Well welcome and good luck!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
