the pain is most likely gas... walk it off...it's really normal

eat slowly and drink slowly

if it persists, contact your doctor...there is no reason to be in pain!

good luck

We are twins! I lost 10 pre-op and 17 my first two weeks post-op. I stalled at week 3 and 6 but am at 40 pounds lost at week 9. (Actually I have not weighed in a week so I feel like it's probably about 45 now.) What a miracle this surgery is! Lord, it was hard at first, I'll admit. For a month, I wondered why the heck I did it but now it is all coming together. I have a spring in my step, people are noticing, and I have had to buy smaller clothes. Prayers for a smooth recovery for you! You're going to do great!

I kept a bag of cotton balls around, and would use one of those to gently tickle the itch.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
