I feel the same way...I'm also experiencing not wanting to eat...I feel like I'm forcing myself because I know I need to get the protein in...like yesterday had 1/4 cup of mashed with 2oz of purreed chicken...I only ate half...is that even normal?

Anyone had the surgery on April 11th? How are you guys doing? I'm still experiencing gas pain but not as bad as bad as before...its been hard for me to get my protein in too. Anyone else having the same problem?

I hope you have a speedy recovery...you'll be in my prayers keep us posted!!!!

Congrats and God Bless...I pray you have a speedy recovery...keep us posted :0)

I'm going to be honest...I remember waking up and I felt phlem stuck in my chest...I was trying to cough it out and it was so painful...but after that the real pain that you will feel is from gas...I feel it build up from my stomach to my chest...it hurts I'm not going to lie lol...but I'm 5 days post op and I feel so much better...I still have the gas but its tolerable...one thing that you can get that helped me with the gas ate gas x strips...I was scared to use it at the hospital but the first night I spent home...I couldn't take the has pain anymore...I took two gas x strips and I felt peace lol....its gonna be hard to get your liquids down in the beginning and your Protein but every day gets better...today I had a total of 600 cal and got in 52 grams of protein

You two will be fine...I'm 24, 5 feet tall and my starting weight was 250...I started my preop liquid diet on 4/7...my surgery was on 2/11 I'm down 14 lbs...be strong..God will be beside you every step of the way!!!!

I was given a morphine drip after surgery...I would press a button every 10 minutes and it would give me a dose...then they took me off that and gave me 2 percocet tabs every 4 hours...now being home they have me a prescription of oxycodene (1 tab every four hours) for pain...but it all depends on your doctor...if you explain to them your passed experience with morphine maybe they can give you something different for the pain.

I'm 4 days post op...walking helps so much...what also has been helping me are gas x strips...they are not helpful for everyone but it has helped me...the gas pain has been gettin better though...so happy about that lol

Do you mean pain level after surgery?...well I had surgery this passed wed...I'm not gonna lie my pain level was at about an 8 for about a day and a half...then it went down to about a 6 or 7...now its about about a 3 or 4...this pain is caused by gas that builds up...walking and gas x strips have helped...sometimes while I'm drinking liquids I'm walking back and forth trying to control the gas pain...but I don't regret the surgery...I started my pre op diet 4/7 and had surgery the 11th...I'm down 12 lbs...if you have any other questions please feel free to ask :0)

I purchased them at GNC

Good luck...you'll be in my prayers :0)

Good luck...ill be praying for you...youll be fine...I had surgery this past Wed and it was the first time I went under anesthesia..first time having surgery...the anesthesia is the easy part...they will put you to sleep and before you know it you'll wake up and its all done...be strong...your gonna do great.

I was sleeved on 4/11...since surgery I've been sleeping on my recliner sofa...can't sleep on my back or my side :0(...I used to love sleeping on my stomach

Im having that same problem at 4 days post op...Its normal the doctor told me it can last a couple of weeks...walking is the best thing to relieve the pain from gas. I use gas x strips they help but they dont help all the time. best thing is to walk. I walk back and forth in my house alot lol

Hi everyone, I had my surgery on the 11th, this past Wednesday. I was discharged yesterday afternoon. Doing okay...just been dealing with a lot of gas...the gas is pure evil lol...I laugh now but its not to funny when I feel the gas building up from my stomach to my chest :0(...that is the thing that's bothering me the most is the gas...the only thing that helps is walking...walking back and forth while I'm writing this actually...also been using gas x strips they have helped so much...it actually helped me get a good night sleep last night...felt some nausea only on the next day but the nurse gave me something for that...really hard to do the protein and the puree right now..been drinking liquids and eating some jellos...thank goodness I bought those protein jellos lol...but other then that I'm doing okay :0)...if any of you have any questions or advice lol please feel free

I'll be having surgery today too...good luck...ill be praying for the both of us :0)
