My surgery is the 21st. Is there any other late June people here to share stories and support? Could use buddies!

Yeah if you take that extra soup you will feel it. I start burping a lot after eating soup.

I'm 5 days post op and I am fairly hungry, especially when making food for the kids. I'm looking forward to protein shakes in 3 days!

I'm also very, very gurgly since yesterday. It's like a second wave of gas is grumbling through me. My stomach will not quiet down! My kids find this hilarious. Me, not so much haha!

I too was very gurgly in the first several days but it does pass. My bowl movements were interesting too. The gas was so uncomfortable.

Hi everyone. Well I can't believe I will be day 9 tomorrow! Have been able to get in liquids and protein in from the start. Have not had any changes to my taste buds and have lost 8 lbs. I am still swollen and have a huge bruise on my lower right stomach that had me little worried, but doctor said it was likely from the blood thinner shot they gave me in the hospital before they discharged me.

Today I had some tomato soup and it filled me up quickly. Had to stop after a few oz. Was so full and stayed that way for 3 hrs. Took me a minute to realize I needed to stop eating. Good lesson to pay attention to my body.

That is my update!

Oh, those heparin shots! I had 3 when I was in the hospital, the bruises are HUGE! I also had 3 IVs infiltrate, so I have huge bruises from those because of the heparin. I feel a LOT better than I look!!

June 27th surgery here. I was allowed to start full liquids today but the plain yogurt I had did not agree with me one bit. I've also been on my period so I was a cranky uncomfortable mess. On the plus side I finally popped today so hopefully I'll be a little less uncomfortable. I just want to be able to walk without feeling like I'm doing the "pregnant waddle"

What do you mean, "popped"?

Has anyone out there that has gotten the procedure had heightened emotions since? Literally everything gets to me and I cry. I cry bc I'm cold...bc I'm alone at home, because I feel like I'm not fun anymore and can't do fun things with my fiancée anymore right now....I'm just an absolute mess.

I'm an emotional mess myself. I'm 9 days post-op and my Dr. Is very conservative. I'm not allowed to eat pureed before another 15 days. Can't do anything and everything makes me cry. It gets easier everyday don't worry.

I'm on day 11 post op and feeling a little bummed out today for whatever reason. I think I need to get out and do something lol. My cousin sent a text inviting the family out to a Mexican restaurant tomorrow night to celebrate her son's bday. I so don't want to go. Surrounded by some of my favorite foods and can't have anything? Ugh. But her eldest daughter is coming in from out of town and we rarely see her so I feel like I must go. I know it will get better and I'm focusing on my exercise and liquids. Just feeling a bit bummed. I get to add some puréed food Wednesday but I am just not that excited. It'll be two more weeks of that before I can add anything new. But it's worth. It's worth it. It's worth it. Lol

I had my sleeve surgery on June 21st. Everything tastes bad... Even water. Has anyone else had this problem.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes! Things didn't taste the same to me. I'm 16 days post op now and it has gotten a lot better. Hang in there

I am so hungry and over this liquid!!! I am day I can't even remember -- ok day 11 post op.

I think I get to start some extra items like yogurt and creamy Soup after nut on Tuesday.

Dreaming of burgers. But also better fitting clothes... Sigh.

I'm been craving smoked meat. Like pork or chicken.

Anyone else with super bad breathe?

I had bad breath for about a week after surgery but it's better now. My tongue was coated with gunk. Mouthwash helped some.

The other day I was craving so bad and had my first very serious hunger pains. I went over board and had 5 oz of yogurt I knew I shouldn't have but I couldn't help myself. I still don't feel good. I don't want a single thing to eat or drink and my stomach is sore. I am doing my best just to get my liquids in. My surgery was the 21st. 11 days in and I am so mad at myself. Something is going on with my leg as well. Thought I had a blood clot and went to get an ultrasound. No clot but I'm in pain. Feels like my vein is tearing out of my skin. I am a little miserable after doing so well. Anyone else cheat and what did you do to feel normal again?

Also for those people going to 4th of July events - its our first holiday surrounded by social fooding. How will you handle that. I want to hear Tuesday when you get back to normal.
