I'm going through something simular. I was sleeved on June 17th. I'm down 30lbs since surgery. The last few weeks I have been at a standstill and today when I weighed myself I had actually gained 3lbs! Im trying to
KEEP CALM
AND
WORK THE SLEEVE.

Is that it's harder to pass gas when you need too! I have been walking and taking gas ex strips but it is getting harder and harder to let it rip!
I have been passing gas in my office and even going to the bathroom on the questionable gas. Sitting in position seems to help. But right now my diaphragm and torso muscle are extremely sore from trying to squeeze one out! It even hurts when I take a deep breathe.
I just finished walking an exhausting mile and I'm laying "in position" with a heating pad. Any ideas you all have are welcome!

I started a week ago today. The whole weekend prior I was depressed and called it food mourning. I even cried about it. Once I started, the sadness subsided and I felt excited again. It was helpful to focus on the fact that I will still be able to have a bite or small amount of any food in the future, once healed and tolerating foods better. Of course I won't be splurging on milkshakes and popcorn (2 of my favorites) - I know that if I want to - I can taste them again one day. Hoping over time I won't have any desire to though.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and glad I found it.
My surgery is scheduled for June 3rd. I think I may be more anxious than nervous. I found that now I have become addicted to watching YouTube videos of vsg journeys.
