Hi to us who've made it!! Officially post op and feeling great!

Surgery was yesterday, the pain from my incision was excruciating, I slept all day. Today I'm feeling better, no gas pains just achy around major incision, waiting to start liquid diet????

I am now on day 6 post op...it seems like as the swelling and then gas go away, my lower left stomach(by incisions) is hurting. Almost like my insides are just rolling around in there and they don't like it. I'm thinking about getting an abdominal binder. Thoughts anyone?

I was sleeved 1/5... so today is post op day 10.

I have had no pain, nausea, or gas issues. I walk a lot. I am no way near getting in my Protein and Fluid requirements..... average 15-27 grams of protein a day from greek yogurt and Protein shake and about 20 oz of Water with crystal light.

I have no hunger but do feel thirsty from time to time.

I only have taken my pain med at bedtime on occasion because I sleep on my sides.

I am so ready for anything other than yogurt and popsicles and broth. May try tomato Soup today.

Hope everyone is doing well!

I check in with the surgeon for the first time next Wed. Anxious to see how much I have lost!

1 week post op and down 5 lbs ?!! I feel that's bad :/

Anything is good I think! Plus you are probably retaining water.

Any loss is a good loss, don't worry about other people's stats, take care of you!

Well said Thanks!!!! And probably retaining lots of water since I was pumped with IV fluids and potassium for 4 days and no BM yet:/ suggestions .

Narcotic meds in any form will slow down the whole BM process, it will happen probably after you start reducing your pain meds (did for me)
