Shower :D
Today I get to shower I'm so excited about this! Each day gets easier (once I'm up) I find myself standing in the scale several times a day I knows that's totally crazy but I just keep thinking the fat will just fall off. I'm 3 days post-op now still have yet to use the bathroom but my stomach is very grumbly today so maybe ;) I did sleep in the bed again last night and again this morning I wished I hadn't :( I'm so stiff and sore when I wake up I feel like my stomach is going to fall out!! I'm doing ok drinking I know I need to drink more water than I am but I'm getting both protein shakes in and I'm happy about that. The gas pain might be the worse but I have these gas strips that help pretty quickly.

Hi there my name is Jo and I have been reading your updates. I am 6 weeks post op - and my experience was no vomiting and no pain at all when I had the operation - you should be easily able to move around as they had me up and walking in the hospital a couple of hours later - also, make sure you are getting enough fluids...did they connect you to a fluid drip? you should be urinating regularly. Hope each day is getting easier :)

Milk
So the nutritionist said I could use the protein powder I had a home with some fat free milk but I think during my surgery I've became lactose intolerant the gas was a Horrible today!! But I'm doing ok up and moving as much as I can. I slept in my bed last night woke up at 4 am and it took forever to get outta bed I was so stiff I think I'll sleep on the couch tonight... any advice on how long the stiffness will last?

It sounds like the gas is normal no matter what you do the first few days!
Hoping that you feel better every day.
I'll be reading; I'm up Dec 21st!

I had my surgery on Wednesday and am having the same issues with sleeping in my bed vs. couch. I am still really stiff in the morning as well. I am only allowed juice and water right now until my 1 week follow-up on Thurs.

Don't say lactose intolerant yet honey. It took a full week for the gas to go away.
Awful but worth it!

Day of treatment
All Sleeved up
So its 2 am and I'm sleeved and sore lol. I'm sure that's to be expected. I was not prepared for how much it was going to hurt to move, sit up and wipe when I pee(I know TMI) all and all I think I'm ok and I'm ready to start this new life!! Looking forward to tomorrow
Looks like you are on the road to recovery!
