My surgery will be April 23 just looking for others who will be starting journey as well maybe we could support each other.....

I am having gastric bypass on April 17th. Super nervous!

Alright now, take it easy. I can’t sleep on my back so I have been trying to sleep on the side opposite of my stomach. It’s too tender the other way. But I can’t drive until after cleared by doc at post op visit. So you be careful driving so soon!

Yes. I thought it was because of the pain meds and I figured since I'm no longer taking them I could take a little drive. I'm able to walk pretty good well as good as my energy allows but I dont plan to drive again lesson learned.

Oh I definitely have incision pain. Your description I'd accurate. But it's only when I bend over or move. Lol. Seriously I know it will get better. Tylenol is helping. I am going to try your suggestion about the 3 oz plastic cups. I need to play a mental game with this water thing!

That incision site was my worst enemy last night and today. Hopefully, tonight will be a better night, fingers crossed. The cups work for me cause I can get an accurate count of what and how much I'm drink. Keeps me motivated to get to the bottom of the cup.

Mac that is weird I did the same thing! I figured I could eat a pickle and that was like cucumber ( which they said I was allowed) the strong taste as the took the cravings away and they are satisfyingly crunchy

Right! I’ve gone through so many jars of pickles! Lol...probably too many! [emoji57]

Hope the endoscopic tube or boogie isn't blocked by pickle remnents! ! Promise me you've, been on Clear Liquids all day![emoji13]

I really want a pickle. It's not on a full liquid diet sadly.

Your pre-op diet is full liquid?

Goody, I want you to have a smooth and sleek sleeve, not one that is lumpy and bumpy like a gourd![emoji14]

The gas is finally making its roar on post op day 6. Yay!!! God, it feels good. Lol! I am dehydrated i think. Everytime i stand up i almost pass out and i get the shakes. I am going to just sit here and sip water all day.

[emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] As a nurse, I get pretty darn excited about gas after surgery. Glad yours finally broke free!!!
