My life changed forever yesterday

My surgery date 7/26/16 finally arrived. Everything has gone smoothly so far, I'm just extremely groggy and thirsty. I've had no liquids in my mouth for the past 30 hours. My pain is minimal but I do have a bit of nausea which has improved in the last few hours. My starting weight in May was 271 lbs and my weight day of surgery was 251 lbs. Can't wait to leave the hospital and start my new journey

Hi! I just had my bypass on 7/26 also! I am soooo weak I can't even get myself up from bed. Apparently it's the gas? I am in a lot of pain though..are you feeling this at all?

You have to move or you risk blood clots. That's how you will get rid of gas too. Stay hydrated and move as much and as often as possible.

They switched my anti nausea and pain meds this evening and I feel way better. No more pain or nausea and I can drink the way I'm supposed to.
