Hope you are feeling better. So sorry you are on your own. I'm pre-op so don't have any specific advice but wanted you to know that someone is out there thinking about you.

You may be having gas pain which is brutal. If that is what it is, try and walk every hour so it will pass. If you are worried, call the doctor.

I hope so. I am 2 days post op as well. Stupid gas pain is driving me nuts plus one of my incisions feels super tight so it hurts when I am standing. My husband had the surgery a little over a month ago and he says it gets better each day. And is alot better by day 7. So that is what I keep looking forward to

Day 3 was when everything started to turn around for me, and the recovery was swift. Every day got better and better after that.

Good luck!

If it is gas discomfort, walk, walk, and even when you are tired walk some more. Pain meds will not get rid of the discomfort.

It gets better every single day, and at one week you'll feel a LOT better! Don't hesitate to call your doctor if you're feeling really awful...dehydration happens quickly and it's hard to recover from. Good luck!

Day 4/5 was when everything started going well for me. The pain was so much more bearable, I was moving around all on my own. I'm 12 days post op and I can tell you.. I feel great!! I see changes in my face and in my body and it's only been 12 days. Some days I feel like crap because I'm DYING to eat normal food. It's rough, it's really really rough. liquid diet is no joke. I've cried. It feels like torture at times and I barely started my journey. But you know what, seeing the changes already and knowing what is to come, I can't just sit around a sulk about it. It was my decision, now I need to work hard to reach my goal. You will feel better, trust and believe!! Stay strong!! ❤️❤️

I was ungodly sick on day 2 and by day 4 I just felt like a zombie. For the most part, you continue to feel better each day and a few months from now you will barely remember the misery of right now.

Wait til day 8 or 9 when you have explosive diarrhea

This is a YMMV situation. I can tell you I have never had diarrhea -- explosive or otherwise. (Although there were times I wish I had diarrhea as opposed to the Constipation that comes and goes...)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
