I am feeling pretty good about it. I have been through a lot of surgery's. You'll do fine!

I am 5 days post op and am feeling pretty good. I have a lot of abdominal gas, a stomach that gurgles like crazy ?? my husband heard it this morning and said it sounds like a volcano erupting. The pain med is controlling the pain and overall I feel pretty darn good. Looking forward to eating solid food again...

I'm in the same boat lol. Today though I couldn't finish my third protein shake. I feel really full like if my stomach is about to explode lol. I'm so happy I haven't had any episodes yet. Hopefully I can handle our next phase "pureed". I haven't taken any pain meds since Thursday and I've been doing good. The only thing that kills me is that I have a boyfriend and son who are both clowns lol and have me laughing, but it hurts to laugh right now. I'm still swollen, I say I look pregnant now cause my belly looks so round lol. I wonder how long does it take for the swelling to go down. I'm glad you're doing great [emoji106] good luck on your journey.

My stomach is round too!! I was upset the other day because I got on the scale and I was up almost 10 pounds from the day of surgery. I haven't eaten a darn thing and haven't had enough calories to justify the weight gain. Others on here have said retaining fluid is normal so I haven't freaked out too bad. It's scary going in for WLS and within a week weighing more... I'm looking forward to the puréed stage of food. Can't wait for applesauce!! and cream of chicken soup!!

I am new to the group. My surgery was 5/10. Can someone tell me how to get into the may group please!

The first one is today and the other one was me at about 125 pounds heavier. My surgery is Monday and I am officially 150 lighter than I was when I started my journey on Oct 10th. That's when I decided to do this and went on the low carb, low fat, high protein diet.
