Really??? Ooh, I may have to put that damn bra back on to go to Walgreen's and find me some of those!! Yes, the bra has been a huge issue with these incisions. LOL!

Momofthing1thing2thing3: OMG! I literally laughed out loud reading your "scoop on poop"...especially the part at the end about buying baby food and threatening your kids lives if they tell anyone about Mommy eating baby food. I had to splint my incisions while laughing....

No, no GasX for me. Doc doesn't want me taking anything pills, chewables, vitamins even until I see him at my one week post-op next week. Maybe I am not walking enough. I am walking but not very far in the neighborhood because my incisions hurt so damn bad. I am so craving food today!!!!

On clear liquids until Tuesday of next week so only water with sugar free flavoring, broth, jello, wonton soup w/o the wontons, S/F popsicles. So sick of it all and it is only day 4. I have never looked more forward to oatmeal in my entire life! No, have not tried gas-x. My MD doesn't even want me taking my vitamins this week. Everything liquid.

You sound just like me! Daytime t.v. sucks! Every other commercial is food. I never realized it until now that I can't have it. Darn it. Day 4 for me and the bloated belly is NOT getting better. I feel hungry but worried that if I drink any more that it is going to bust open. Nowhere near getting my 60oz of fluid every day. My belly was better this morning but since lunch it has blown up again. I just don't get it...why is it going back and forth. When I get to moving in the right direction (passing gas finally and pooping (well, diarrhea) then I want to keep moving in the right direction (getting rid of air) but it seems to be going backwards now. Any suggestions?

I was sleeved on the 17th too! I am still pretty miserable. Was feeling better this morning once everything started moving (pooping) and less bloated but now I am right back there looking like I am pregnant again this afternoon. I just don't get it. How can I still have so much air in me? I am starting to worry. Emotions are all over the place as well today which is strange. I think I am just sick of being in this house not able to do anything worthwhile and not having the energy to do other things. Definitely having "buyer's remorse" here on day 4.

Hello from Houston! I am new to this website so trying to figure it all out. I was sleeved 3 days ago on the 9-17-12. Still having a good deal of pain, but no nausea which is completely out of the ordinary for me post-op. VERY thankful for this as just hiccups and coughing hurt like heck. I still have a lot of swelling in my belly-not able to burp normally anymore and not passing much gas. I called my doc today and they said to be patient-usually around day 4 or 5 things will start functioning more normally. Still taking pain meds but only 1/2 dose at 4pm today and will take full dose before bed. Going on very short walks to try to get this air outta me. But walking makes my Big Daddy incision hurt super bad. This is the incision in the middle for me. The one on the left is also sore but the others are not bothering me. Anyway, speaking of bariatric foods...today I received in the mail a catalog from Bariatric Choice. There are many products in there and I am just wondering if anyone has tried any of them. Some of the brands are: Wonderslim, BariWise,ProtiDiet. It sort of concerns me that just about every item in here shows a 5 star rating. Uh, doubt THAT is true. Any feedback will be much appreciated as I am so ready to be off clear liquids. 4 more days to go on that one and then on to soft foods.

I also had my surgery on Monday. Wow! The pain got much worse today. My doc has me on Clear liquids only for one week. So, broth, sugar free jello, water, crystal light, Powerade Zero, Fruit2O. And my pain medicine is liquid Lortab. No pills allowed, not even Vitamins. The gas/air in my belly is making me miserable. I can't burp like normal. I have gone one two walks today but not helping.

Sleeved on Monday the 17th so this is Day 2 I guess. Still having lots of pain. Trying to not take the pain meds but it has not worked thus far. Everything hurts going down. Don't think I am meeting my 40-80oz of liquid per day. I just don't know how that is possible. I don't see my doctor until a week from today. Got to take off my dressings and shower today which was nice. But wow, the incision on my left is really sore this afternoon. Still feel really bloated and full of air. Trying to walk around my house but of course it is not as much as when I was in the hospital. So far, just not feeling happy about all this but hoping that once I start feeling better that my feelings will change.
