I was really starting to wonder about the surgery. and all the people that said they felt great after. until yesterday (5 days out) I felt like shit that was stepped on and smeared along the sidewalk. Yes that bad!.

That is funny but I totally agree with you. I was almost to the point of telling my husband to take me to the ER because I felt so bad. Now at 7 days out-i feel MUCH better. Not so much gas, not so much incision pain, able to move a little better and losing weight like crazy!

Well I feel ok I am 7 days out and I still cant sleep in my bed and I hate that. I stll hurt a little on my left side but not so much weight liss though I dont know why. All I have really losted is what I ganied from the sugry like the blotting and gas but other than that nothing. Still on full liquids but am trying some soft food. I hope all you ladys are doing ok.

They told me not to worrie because it is low at first. Because of the sugery but then I will start droping so I hope so lol. Started soft food to day and omg it was like haven lol lol

I've only lost 3 lbs post surgery so far. I'm not too concerned, yet. I have had two meals (eggs yesterday and tuna today) that didn't sit well. I didn't feel better until I pooped. Yesterday I just went to bed, today was my first day back in the office, so bed wasn't an option. Just spent some quality time in the loo until it passed.

My surgery was Oct 10th. I am doing ok but I do not like the gas pains. They hurt like heck. I am praying it gets better soon.

Keep walking and moving. It probably won't be for much longer. It took about 6-7 days for me to lose the gas and the extra Fluid weight.

Today I am one week post op I am down 6.8 lbs. Yesterday I took a shower with no one in the house probably not a good idea I thought I was going to pass out I was thankful to get in the bed. I slept for 2 hours and still felt drained. I am still passing bloody stools which I knew to expect from the surgery but when will that go away? Another thing I wanted to share that has helped me is my daughter-n-law bought home 2 oz cups with lids which equals 1/4 cup. She found these at GFS this has been helpful with measuring so you can fill up the cups and know you are not going over what is required. They also have 1 oz cups so if you wanted soup and then SF Jello. Glad to hear everyone is progressing.

Going in for surgery at 8:00!!

Good luck Angie, and everyone else having their ops today :-) x

2 week post op appointments went well. Asked the Nut about Flintstones Complete vs bariatric specific Vitamins. He said as long as I took 2 a day along with Calcium, B12, B complex and D3 it's fine. As always, follow what your clinic's protocol is. This was mine.

I've had some mysterious dumping the last few mornings. The working theory is I might have low potassium that might be causing the extreme fatigue that follows the dump. <knock wood> it didn't happen today. Hopefully, it's now in the past.

Wondering if any post ops have any pain in they're main incision area.. I'm 2 weeks out, and last night was the first time I've had any real pain.. Still on pain meds at night, but it still bothers me.. weird.. Hoping it goes away soon..

I am one week out today. Just the right side incisions bother me. Not to painful. Been off pain meds for 2 days. Just been taking liquid Tylenol as needed.

I have 6 sites. The only one that has bothered me at all is the larger one over my liver area. The area all around there was tender for quite a while. I saw my pcp Monday he said all looks good...and gastroenterologist today...also said good. See surgeon for first time on nov. 6th
