UPDATE post op day 5- I had to go to my parents house for a few days after being discharged as 2 of my kids had the flu and I didn't want to get that ! So, I am home now and FINALLY passed alot of the gas. It built up so badly that I thought I was going to explode. I finally sat on the floor on my knees in front of the recliner and laid my head and chest on the recliner and let my stomach hang off and rocked gently in the postition, after an hour or two of that off and on, it finally moved, I feel so much better. My pain is minimal which I'm surprised, basically really sore, so I take pain med when I want to go to sleep, I haven't napped all day as I was pacing trying to get gas to move, so I am ready for bed!. Able to get most of my fluids, getting bored of fluids already, I have a few weeks more, hoping at the two week mark then move me to fiuller fluids like Soup. Thanking the stars above I've had an easy enough go at it, got a little weepy today but I think I had let my blood sugar drop too low. Hope everyone is progressing nicely and good luck to those who are in line for surgery!

Update went to Doc today 19pds down very happy about that but he said that to fast? ok but he did tell me it will slow down soon. I am just happy to be losing. I will tell anyone that's going thru this don't go out in buy a lot of stuff because you may not like it after your WLS.

8 days op...update. Feeling a lot better. Beware of constipation...ladies! (I learnt my lesson), big time. I had my first (and hopefully) last experience of,

1. Eating too fast

2. Not realizing that I was full

3. Feeling really stupid.

I drank my protein shake to fast. I paid, dearly!!

Take it slow, everyone.

Love y'all

I haven't had a BM in 4 days buy I thought it was ok since its just been fluids, I did use miralax yesterday and today, hopefully things will start moving. Since surgery i'm down 10 lbs.
