My surgery was on the 27th. and the first 1-2 days was kinda rough from all the painful soreness and gas inside of me from surgery.but it has gotten better every day. I'm feeling great.. soreness is fading nicely, I feel like the gas is almost out of me, no bowel obstructions, i'm going to the bathroom fine. I'm feeling almost quite normal again. I'm on Clear liquids and it's going down nicely. I do miss chewing and taste of food though. but I just remind myself this isn't forever only temporary. I'm looking forward to pureed stage when these 2 weeks are up. so I can have some nice tuna and scrambled eggs..all the nice healthly stuff. anywayss just wanted to do update on everything..oh and as for surgery that was some experience for me.. never had any type of surgery before.. I was very nervous but when the moment came I walked into surgery room braver than ever. didn't even know when I fell asleep and it felt like it was over before I even knew it. only problem was gas and soreness when I woke up which is normal. but everything is going great. and I'm really excited for my new healthy lifestyle. good luck to everyone undergoing and who is already post up! woo oh also my migraines went bye bye my constant hunger always triggered them every single day. so two main problems have been solved. now just waiting for my third..which is losing weight and getting to nice healthly bmi. !

Congratulations! I hope to have my bypass in about a month. Glad to hear everything is going great! That's exciting. I hope I do as well. About the gas, does anything like GasX strips help or it is a different kind of gas?

Will be having surgery sometime in October and I can't wait! Congrats on your surgery and best of luck going forward!

thanks so much!! and not sure if gas x helps. but nice hot herbal teas will be your best friend! I've been drinking green tea or even lipton. any nice hot herbal tea in general helps to get the gas out of you. it must only be decaf though (instructed by doctors and nutritionist for our safety of ulcers that can be caused by caffeine). works great for me it will have you burping it all out for sure haha. also must always be hot to get the job done if it gets too cold doesn't work much oh and same goes for your broth it helps also cause it's nice and hot . good luck to you!!

Thank you all!!

GasX strips were my best friend for the first few days after surgery. The gas and the drain were the only bad parts in my immediate post-op experience.

Walking and standing as much as possible kept the gas away since 4 hours post op. I walked all through the night and swayed back and forth the whole hospital stay. I only used my bed for the 4 hrs post op, never went back in after. Slept for a couple hours in rocking chair in hospital. They are not kidding when they say walk, walk, walk. It takes about 30 mins to an hour to feel it move in your body. I think that's why I healed so quickly and got released from the hospital exactly 24 hrs after surgery.

Yay for u! So glad ur feeling well

Congrats I'm so glad your doing great, keep up the great work and welcome to the losers bench .

Thanks for the update. Congratulations on a successful life change!
