So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time. [emoji1]

I had the patch they even gave me some medicine to help out I think it's a matter of finding the right temp of liquids

First full day home from the hospital. Going well. Still really sore, Hanging on that will be "normal" after a week or two.

I just got home a couple hours ago I'm feeling a little uncomfortable but I am taking my pain medicine. I haven't had too much problems with Fluid yet seems to be going down slow but pretty good

Yyeeyyyy... I made it to 22 ounces! I had 64 grams of Protein and I still have a couple of hours before bed..

I decided that I'm not taking the pain meds anymore. I think that is what is keeping me from passing gas. Tomorrow I will avoid it and if I pass gas regularly, then I will stop. My incisions don't hurt as much as the gas does. We'll see what happens.. ????

It took me 3 days until I passed gas... I don't think medicine has anything to do with it because when i got home I was taking it all the time and was still able to pass it.

If you are in pain, take it!

That's the thing.. the only pain I feel is from the gas. My incisions only hurt when I'm getting in and out of bed. But this gas, man.. I'm so bloated. I walk most of the day, I can't find another explination. ???? ... I feel I owe it to myself to try it out. If I still can't pass gas tomorrow, of course I will continue taking the pain meds.

But the gas has me walking hunched over. It's terrible. Gas X didn't work, I have to try something before I take milk of magnesium.

I felt like i was constipated so I had some diluted prune juice and later that day I had BM which was a huge relief! Except it was an accident lol I was at a store and felt like I am going to pass gas.. Well it wasn't gas lol so be careful I heard this can happen

Relief is relief!!! Haha no but seriously, I haven't left my house. I think I'll try the prune juice for sure.

To be honest, although I feel uncomfortable at the moment, i am so excited. I keep looking at my jeans. You know, the "goal" jeans. I can't wait!!

I'm back home too. Let out a day early. The night after surgery was a bit tough. Bad gas pain when I got upright on Wednesday and a fair bit of nausea. That seems to have passed. Sipping away on clear fluids until next Tuesday then free fluids for two weeks. Sipping through my water with a bit of benefibre in it to get the other end moving.

I haven't experienced any gas pains yet and I'm not looking forward to that.

I wondered if we could have prune juice???

Some of you have gone to the store already, wow!!!

I am down 4lbs since I got home yesterday! Probably all water but I will take it! I didn't gain weight from the surgery....well at least I was the same weight when I came home from the hospital as when I went into the hospital. I have been up walking around the neighborhood and not had any gas pain. Today I am focused on drinking!

Great job! I don't think I'd be ready to walk around the neighborhood, I'm just making laps inside of my house.

I wasn't going to weigh myself for the first week but I got on the scale this morning and gained two pounds but that doesn't concern me at all

How many of you had a drain and did you go home with it?

Sent from my SM-G920T using the BariatricPal App

I didn't have a drain at all. That was a big thing for me...I didn't want one. I also didn't want a cathader. My doc was cool with it and it made me get up walking a few hours after surgery. @@Pup do you have a drain? Does it hurt?
