Is anyone else hungry? I thought that was supposed to be a thing of the past, but I f3el something in my gut that I associate with being hungry. If I ate, I know it wouldn't sit well, plus, at 5 days postop, it's a huge no no.

Sent from my SM-T710 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am hungry too. But I get full really full if I eat some yoghurt or Soup. And then I am not hungry for a long time.

Has anyone who has had surgery already had a BM? I have not, and I don't even feel the pressure from one. Is that normal until I start eating more?

Also... does anyone have LARGE, DARK bruising? Especially at the stomach-removal incision? I am going to go on a search for what's normal there and what... isn't. Because it is like 😳

My heart rate has been up since my surgery on Monday. I lost a lot of blood, though, so mine could be due to that. Hopefully yours will resolve soon!

Update: successful procedure on Thursday (thanks to God) and released to go home on Friday. Very grateful i can drink and things are coming along okay. This OnQ pump is annoying but appreciated. Only lost a couple pounds from preop diet (2 weeks liquid). That mostly came from the last 48 hours in which I could not have anything solid at all, only Clear Liquids and I stopped working out those last three days. I have lots of gas that's not moving enough so I feel full. I can pass gas from both ends (...I know🤭). No bowel movement. Keeping track of liquids, meds, everything is hard but getting the hang of it. Just went for a 20 minute walk outside (it's absolutely beautiful out! ) and will go again later. I do walk around the house and try not to sit for too long. I was so annoyed when my friend had delicious Thai food from one of our favorite restaurants. It smelled so good! One day....Can't think of anything else. Hope all is well with everyone!

No BM here either. Not sure what is normal or not. But I guess it will change when we eat more solid food.

Almost no bruising at all for me. But I have seen photos in groups online, where the whole tummy was bruised. So I guess it is different from one person to another.

Attached is a photo of my tummy as you can see I only have bruises dirctly on the insicions.

I have not had a BM either. I feel like I need to go but there is nothing. I think it’s normal for the first 2 stages (that’s what the nurse told me).

I'll be having mine on Monday 11/09 getting a little worried about the liquid diet?


The liquid diet before surgery can be a little tough but hang in there. After surgery (I’m only 4 days out) and it’s fine because you won’t feel hungry at all. Congrats! And good luck.

Yes - some soft stool BM and another weird one but I think I’m officially constipated. My stomach is bruised - I think the docs said it was the heparin injections given to prevent blood clots

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
