Hi all ???? I'm Jaysen and was curious to see if anyone has a May surgery date? I think it'd be great to have as much support as possible..

Woke up in quite a bit of pain today because I slept in my bed ALL night long and have only been able to do that for part of the night, but that quickly melted away when I realized I finally joined the losers bench today. I am 2 pounds lighter than my hospital admission weight and I am so excited I can't seem to contain it!

YAY! You're On Your Way Now! I had my one week post op visit yesterday, in down 7lbs since surgery! I couldn't believe my eyes, thought the scale was wrong. It is so motivating. ????

7lbs is amazing! I haven't weighed myself since surgery, 10 days post op today. I think I'm hesitating because the scale has never been my friend. I'm sure you and others feel the same.

Well I was up 5 pounds from my hospital admission weight when I went home the next day because of all the fluids they gave me, so if we count that loss then I'm down 7 pounds from that!!

Hey to all ???? today I'm 11 days post-op and I got on scale, and I'm 17.6 pounds down from surgery, 33.7 pounds total. Yay ????I can't believe it's that much already.

You're doing fantastic already! What have you been having for meals?

Hey peeps. So far so good. I'm doing good although I have not had a BM yet. It's been 4 days. Is this mormal?

I went 7 days without BM. I started to get worried. I ended up crushing some exlax. It took 2 days to work. But eventually did its thing. Good luck.

Anybody have any advice on how to get rid of back pain while trying to heal? My heating pad just isn't doing it for me anymore and the pain is pretty terrible

Hot shower. Did Dr give you pain meds ? Does walking help?

The heating pad is my go to , but as you said not helping you.

Hope feels better soon

Thanks for responding! I do have pain meds and I took a shower yesterday!

I also had my first post-op bowel movement today and that seemed to help a bit! Walking does help but it's been rainy and there's not much space to walk around in my house! Thanks for answering!

Walking helped the most. When it's raining it definitely makes it pretty tough to do ???? I used some "Active On" in stick form and rubbed it on lower back. Definitely helped soothe. Good luck with healing.

Congratulations on your loss. And I'm 11 days post-op and this is my first morning waking with no pain from sleeping. Each day has gotten better. And I can finally sleep on my side. I've only been able to sleep on my back, and I'm not a back sleeper. Good luck with no pain soon ..

Wow. Congrats , down that much in 11 days. That's amazing. I can't wait to have refried beans. I start soft foods on Tuesday. Gonna weigh myself on Tuesday which is my 2 weeks post op. What's ricotta cheese bake? Good up the good work , it's obviously paying off.
