????Any May Gastric Bypass peeps????

[cfinch70 56]

My surgery is next mon. In excited and scared all at once lol. I have been losing weight for the last few months almost 30 lbs. My dr said I didn't really need to do the liquid diet since I've lost weight but I am doing anyways so I'll be use to the liquid only after surgery.

Still very tender and tons of gas pain. I need another hit of pain medication. They didn't give a pain pump, so I get to ask every 4 hrs for something to take the edge off. Dr said everything went great. I've not seen him yet so I look forward to speaking with him. I'll post more updates when I start to feel up to it????

Outstanding! Start to sipping, and the sooner you can get to walking the better! Also, my Dr didn't give a pain pump either - be vocal about your pain.

No sipping for me yet ???? just ice chips. I just completed my first lap so yay on walking. I wasn't in as much pain sitting up as I thought I would be. Thanks for advice.

May 11 surgery date for me! Trying so hard to work through the pre-op diet and doing pretty good but did break down and had 2 ounces of grilled chicken breast on day 5 of the liquid diet. I had my pre-op testing yesterday and I'm starting to get a little nervous. This has been a very long process so I'm excited to be on the other side.

It's 5:10am and they just took my catheter out(thank goodness) and I was just told to start drinking from my CC cup.. My pain is at a 5 on a scale from 1-10. I have a pretty high pain tolerance. The gas trapped inside I think is the worst of it. I have been scared to move around in bed, scared I'll pull something in my new stomach area.

The Doc should be in at 6am so I'll post an update with his information.

I am on Day 2 post op and it does get better. I too had lots of gas pain and man has it never felt so good to pass gas. The pain is tolerable. The doc has me on hydrocodone and acetaminophen ever 4 hours. I got home at 8 PM last night and it felt great sleeping at home. I had some sf Jello for Breakfast. I am doing my best to get in as much Water as possible.
