I have become a walking maniac! Lol. I just sent my husband to buy me some gas x strips. Hopefully they help. I'll take anything at this point! like you, I don't regret it either. I can already tell I'm shedding inches even though the scale says otherwise (I'm still swollen). Thanks for the motivational words!

Thank you Sylvia and Twanie! I need to go buy those strips!

Walking it is then! Here I go! On another note, how do I know that I'm aching from gas being trapped and not something else?

Thanks girl! This pain is making me go crazy, lol. But no need to look back now, I'm sure the results will be worth it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with me! Now I know I am not alone.

Hey guys! I need some motivation, encouragement, and/or tips. I had my surgery this past Thursday so I'm 3 days post op. I'm having horrible stomach pains and my back is starting to hurt. I don't know if my stomach pains are coming from my swollen stomach, the incisions, or trapped gas. Anyone been through the same road and willing to offer some advice? I'm taking my liquid pain meds but nothing seems to work. :/

I had surgery already and I'm alive woooo hooooo! Now I just need to del with this gas pains!

I hear that we gain weight at first due to all the gas and fluids. I've gained 3 lbs too and I haven't consumed no more than 500 calories since Thursday. I'm more concerned about this pain, just going to take it one day at a time

You're right! If I'm happy with the results, who cares what everybody else thinks! I needed to hear that, thank you.

Yay!

Thanks for your advice. I guess I'm going to have to tell people at work the reason for my absenteeism. And well, you know how people always talk crap, it's amazing what envy can do. It's all good though, when I have my hot body....then I'll really give them something to talk about

Everyone has been telling me to walk but my stomach hurts more after I walk, I don't get it :/

Well, I think I'm just bring a pansy. My stomach hurts a lot and that's about it :/

Wow that is awesome! I'm def taking my pain medicine, doing it in sips actually. I just have to suck it up because I know this will be worth it at the end of the day. Just gotta do it so I can feel even more fabulous! Lol

Maybe I'm just afraid to eat. My wounds and stomach are in so much pain! My pain medicine is a liquid and I need to sip it very slowly. It's taking me 30 minutes to intake 17 ml of meds.

When do you know if you have a leak?
