Hi!! Things are getting better each day. Right now I am battling constipation. And gas pain in my shoulder. The doctor told me that the shoulder pain is also related to the hiatal hernia repair they did.

One thing that concerns me, I weighed myself this morning and I am the same as I was the day of the surgery. Is that normal??

Thanks!!

I'm 4 weeks out and I still have tons of emotions and I get really tired but you just gotta know your body was just completely changed it will take time to get back in the swing of things. In the end we will read back on this stuff and laugh as we are sitting in our new skinny clothes.

Can u do sugar free Popsicles ? they are the only thing saving me right now.

I can. I just am so done with it. I have been on the clear only for a week. And the for almost 3 weeks before that on the pre op.

Did any one have any trouble with drainage from one incision spot??? I'm 6 days post OP and still changing dressing on it? Also yes the burping if horrible i get it all the time.

I dont know if it is the same but 6 day post op my belly botton started to drain first drops but after the doc examined it it was much more. Just last night the drainage stopped. Now is from the inner belly botton just a drip.

is exactly the same as mine. My doc said that as long as there was no faul smell or pain to let it run its course.
