That's it. I just wanted to say that

Yippee!!!

Congratulations! My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow, and I can't wait to be able to say the same thing!

Hello! I too am a post op girl, just beginning my 4th day with this new lifestyle. How are you feeling? I'm still having trouble laying or sitting comfortably because of the gas bubbles. How are you doing with this? I have had little to no hunger which is very different for me. Nice to meet you and feel free to write back at anytime.

Hi NewJulie! Good luck on your surgery tomorrow! Are you having the bypass or gastric sleeve?

Hi NewJulie! Good luck on your surgery tomorrow! Are you having the bypass or gastric sleeve?

I am walking most of the time, so the gas is almost not an issue. The problem I have is he flying abdomen, feels like it will rip apart in any position that I attempt. So I haven't slept in forever, and still can't work up the courage to cough.

I did a lot of walking while I was in the hospital and it didn't seem to make a difference in my gas issues. I still feel like I need to pass gas all the time, lol. I'm not really sure what you mean by the flying abdomen, hehe. I've coughed basically since I was in recovery, and I was hesitant but it's not that bad. I still haven't gone #2 and was wondering if you have had issues with this also.

When I move, I feel a swirling/swishing of my inside flying from right to left, and wobbling back. I swear it feels like my intestines/organs are swimming around. It is gross and so painful. Regarding # 2, I had a miracle yesterday before I was discharged. I felt the urge, and something (tmi) did splat its way out from the appropriate place :-) basically just a teaspoon of sediment on the bottom of the toilet.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm having the sleeve, and I just realized I'm probably posting in the wrong place... Oops

I got home yesterday from bypass and I'm having the water bm issue. Between trying to get rid of the gas and bm I've lost control of my bm's twice. Very loose stool. Wondering how long it will take to form considering we are on am liquids. I also ended up having a large hiatal hernia as well. Coughing isn't too bad if you put a pillow on your belly.

Congrats to you all in making it to the losers bench and being healthy.

Congratulations! I can't wait to join you on on July 8th.

That's OK! Welcome and good luck on your new journey!
