My doc cleared me at my one month visit. He said it would hurt but that I wouldn't injure or tear the muscle.

I was cleared Monday, I'm gonna call them. I was scared. I was thinking it might just be tight.

Well I'm 3.5 months out and I think I will be with calories

Hello, I was wondering how long did it take before u could work on your abs. I am about 8 weeks out and I tried my first crunch today and it felt as if something was pulling.#scared

Not 100% sure' date=' but both are really really small. Haven't had a problem getting them down at all. You can get Zergrid, OTC and it's tiny too.[/quote']

I ordered that book, Eating Well After Weight Loss. I'm excited!!

No no' date=' you should be on something like that. My surgeon wrote me a 3 month script for Nexium and I was also told to suppliment that with Zergreid. Get with your surgeon or PCP and start working that. you'll feel much better.[/quote']

Do they come in liquid form.

Been on the treadmill every day since day 2 (11/21). Do a little' date=' rest, do some more. Rinse and repeat. Bottom line, time to start moving and groovin' You'll feel much better if you do

Hang tough![/quote']

Thanks, I have been walking everyday, only outside, the house and Wal-Mart, LOL!! I will try the treadmill tomorrow.

Try Gas X strips!

I sure will, thank u.

Try a heating pad on your stomach for the gas! And don't worry' date=' I am 4 weeks post op today, you can start to get a feel for what you can eat and drink as the days go one.[/quote']

Oooooowe!!! The heating pad is a winner!! Thanks!!!!

I am 4days post op also. I work all day to get in Water. I know I am still not getting enough Water in yet. I haven't had a bowel movement and can only take a couple sips at a time. My surgeon said that I will hate him now but love him later because he makes a tighter sleeve than most. He said my stomach is only the size of my pointer finger. I am more worried about getting my water in for now so I don't get dehydrated. I will worry about more Protein later. Too bad no one has come out with a Chettos flavored Protein shake. I am already tired of the variety of sweet shakes out there.

That was my worry, I'm 4 days out also. Just keep sipping and as long as your urinating your ok. If that stops that call your doctor. Do what u can it will get better.

Are you taking anything like Nexium or Zegrid?

I dont think I'm getting enough fluids in. 20 oz of protien and 16 oz of Water. It takes all night to get that down. oh and popsicles.

do you think its ok to walk on the treadmill, its really cold outside.

Hello' I just had my sleeve on 11/26. Is there any advice you van give me. The gas is killing me. I'm walking and it feels better but at times it get really bad. I'm doing well on my liquids. I feel I would be so much better with out the gas. How long does it last.

I had my sleeve on 11/26 also, and I am on liquids until Monday, then Puree foods. The gas is what's killing me. I have been walking but its a beast (the gas). Is there anything I ca do about that. Jack's Mommy, stick to your liquids, all the others will come in due time. Oh and sometimes I just feel tired, but I am not dehydrated I have been getting my fluids in. So what is all that about.
