I had surgery on 3/21 left hospital on 3/22; have been able to be up and around worked all the gas out have taken no pain medicine, tolerating my liquids cautiously, got on scales this afternoon and it shows I have actually gained 1.5 lbs; so BUMMED but my stomach is still pretty swollen..... Is this normal?

U had lapband? I think it's normal, my sleeve is def swollen rn

That is totally normal. I went up 7 lbs and after a week the swelling was much better. Plus I was under the weight I was at the day of surgery. Start weighting about 1 week post operative. It will be worth it.

that will pass and you will be so happy to have done this. It has been six years for me and I have never had any regrets

I was sleeved on 3/20 and released 3/22 I went to Tijuana:) I'm down 7 lbs since surgery but still swollen anyone else have immediate regret after surgery due to the amount of pain it was it just me lol I'm okay now

I didn't, I wasn't in pain I actually questioned did I have surgery? But the restriction was there lol

So happy I did this I see food n don't want it having trouble looking for the full sensation . Drinking slowly but would​ like real meal s instead of broth n water.

Congrats. I was also sleeved on 3/21 and released 3/23. Best decision I ever made. Can't wait to move on from the full liquid stage. My next appointment is Monday.

On puree phase for one month

It's so amazing how different each Dr is. I was on liquid for 14 days and soft food 14 days and in two weeks I will be cleared for slowly reintroducing normal food
