Good to know..how was your pain level

I had very little pain post op. From my time on here I have heard of pain all over the map though immediately post op. I think what seems to be the worst for the majority of people immediately post op is the gas pain from the air they fill you up with.

That's what I'm hearing. I have 2 bad knees and need to bring my walker to the hospital hoping it's easier than I'm planning

I think there are more people with little to no pain we think. You see more from people who are having issues because they need help with those issues. No real reason to post about everything going great.

How are you doing on pre op diet...im drinking the Protein Drinks as instructed and I gained 2pds I pray this does not effect my surgery I've lost weight all along the way been doing Keto so I'm not sure if I stalled...anyone have this issue also

Currently on Pre-op Diet and I lost 8 then stalled a day and now I'm up an lb. I'm assuming Water weight but of course, It was frustrating seeing the scale go back up. Our bodies are so weird in how they work!

That’s awesome. Glad to hear it. Just keep sipping and walking and remember you did still just have major surgery so you may feel tired. Just give into it and rest when your body tells you to and it should help you recover a little quicker since we heal while we sleep. I had very little pain as well but I was still wiped out. I took naps daily for a while post surgery.

Just keep reminding yourself 2 things:

1)I just had major surgery is more then OK to take it easy, it's necessary. My body is healing.

2)I need to follow my eating plan so my stomach can heal properly. J B.

It may not always be easy but in the long run you'll be happy you did. This is an amazing tool towards your weight loss. You got this!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
