I’m 3 days post op and have had the same experience. Gas pains are pretty bad. Just started gasx tabs, walking and using a heating pad. I’m too afraid to step on the scale just yet because I feel like I’m bloated.

You are bloated. lol I was + 4 lbs day I got home (fri) today (sun) I'm down 6 @ 298. First time under 300 in 6 yrs.

@behnybaby That's encouraging to hear. Sounds about what I am expecting. Does the Gas-X actually help with the CO2 gas pain? How are the incisions?

I know it's a process and I am ready for it.

Keep up the good work!

10 days til surgery! I feel like I'm starving today. Just had my 3rd shake, and feel like I could eat a whole pizza! I have my final nutrition appt tomorrow, so knowing that I'm getting weighed in is helping me stay on track. This is the first day I've been tempted to cheat. Ugh! I've spent most of the day in my bedroom, just to stay away from the kitchen. My poor family must think I'm ignoring them! LOL!

Well 3 days the other side of it, not feel great but better than I thought it would be. Sip, walk, gas xtabs walk some more. Down 10 plus pounds of gas and pound and half must have been my stomach, lol. Onward sipping 3-4 ounces an hour. sleep intermittently, sip, potty sip, sleep.

Lololol, I still would want to be on that side of it! Lolol thank you for sharing!

I’m wondering if each Kaiser bariatric unit have their own instructions.

It's a thought, my friend who was also Kaiser for her procedures; had a different set of requirements from me. Intriguing, isnt it?

Good luck to all those with surgery dates for today or in the coming days!

I'm getting ready right now to head to the hospital right now, more excited than nervous thankfully.

See y'all on the other side! (Last official home weigh in... 315.2lb)

Good for you great work.
Feeling even better today than yesterday. Pain level way down, had many gasy runs last night but I can feel the reduced pressure today.
I am at my lowest since early 90’s. Trying to train my mind to recognize that what I have always perceived as hunger is satisfied with a couple sips of something.

oh, last night I woke up nose running so I reached for tissue and blew out a huge clot. Must have been a tube down yonder.

Surgery went well. Gallbladder / Lap-Band removed, RNY performed.

Woke up in a lot of pain and was given some diluadid and morphine pain pump. Sipping water and in my room now... Onwards to recovery!

Supposed to be here overnight and released tomorrow, we shall see.
