Hi Surgery Buddy! Keep drinking- you need to stay hydrated- you'll feel better. Try other fluids. Power Ade zero, sf popsicles were my go-to for a few days. Also hot tea. Hang in there.

Hi all. Just had my bypass on Monday morning 10/17. Home now. Really bloated. Walking as much as I can. How are my October buddies doing

Hey there, I had my surgery on Tuesday, October 18th and I'm doing pretty darn well. I came home on Thursday and I've been out for two or three walks daily. My only concern is that I'm retaining a bunch of Fluid. I know this because my weight went up and not down. That was a bit discouraging.

I hope all of your October surgeries went great.

Glad you are doing well @@mfoxworthy ! Drink more fluids. If you are constipated or getting your period - you'll retain.

I was sleeping on my side the night of surgery and on my stomach by day 5. My stomach does not hurt at all though. I bought a body pillow to prop myself on my side but haven't needed it.

Hi all. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm 7 days post op. And I'm feeling so much better. Definitely doing better with my liquids. It does get better with time. But Im definitely looking forward for puréed for next week. I was able to sleep on my side on my 5th day.

Yeah I've been on my stomach since about 1 week post op. Have reverted back to propped up on my back due to acid reflux though.

_{I'm one week out and I still can't lay on my side. I am not getting good sleep at all. I cannot wait until I can sleep like normal again!}

I've been sleeping on my side since the night of surgery. I have very little pain or even soreness in my abdomen. It's unusual but I'm not complaining - I sleep for 10 hours a night. Hope you can sleep better soon!

I am envious, KristenLe! I just need to be patient. It'll come. Everything else is going so well Just wish I could sleep ... and comfortably.
