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!

Congratulations on your surgery! Happy to hear that it went well and you are home!

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

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
