It's normal -- it's gas and you need to walk it off. Gas X helps but the only thing that will ACTUALLY TRULY help is walking! Walk walk walk walk walk --- even in the middle of the night, if you feel discomfort, WALK! I ate pureed after 2 weeks because I actually felt hungry, I ate it very slowly and it sat very well with me. Try eating home-made oatmeal, it sat super well, as did the fat-free plain greek yogurt (lots of protein), also Protein shakes. Good Luck, this too shall pass and you'll be feeling great very soon. But remember..... walk, walk, walk, walk walk!

CONGRATS!! That is AWSOME!!!! I need 2 lbs off then I reach One-Derland! I cannot wait! Way to Go!!

WoW! Impressive and great advise, you are a true example of a winner! Thank you for your post!

sugar free pops help with the fluids intake -- but sip on Water constantly. Once you're hydrated you'll feel great!

walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk .... I can't stress it enough... WALKING is really the ONLY thing that will help. Walk walk walk , even overnight, get up and walk.

Awsome!!!!!!! It only gets BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck!! Welcome to the "loser's bench"!! It's a great place to be!

You'll LOVE LOVE LOVE it! GUARANTEED! Enjoy the new you, before you know it, the pounds will melt away. Good Luck!

Patience is key. At about 3 weeks out it begins to creep back and at 5 weeks out, you'll feel like running, never tire.

OMG!!! I'm 4 lbs away and CANNOT wait till I hit Onedarland!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! What an awsome achievement!!! Way to go!!!!!! CELEBRATE!!

Getting sleeved is not a magical solution to weight loss -- it's a tool -- a great tool to get you to change your eating habits, from huge portions to smaller portions, from bad foods that are not good for you to healthy foods and make a lifestyle change. It's a "forever" lifestyle people! When you get sleeved and lose all this weight so soon it's a huge incentive to want to stay this way, lighter and healthier so you use that "tool" which was your WLS to stay eating right for life. Your mind will still want the huge portions and the food that's not healthy for you but it's up to you to say to your mind, nope, I went through surgery, I lost all this weight, I will keep being good and keep the weight off and stay healthy and happy and fit! I'll tell you from my own experience, I've lost 50 lbs, I still have about 35 more to go and I will never gain the weight back. I love how I feel, how I look, how others praise me all the time, and yes it's not easy and yes the wanting all the bad foods is still there but I will fight it endlessly and continue to enjoy the new me! Good luck to us all... let's fight this and stay healthy!

I can totally relate, that's how I was months before my WLS! I was super focused, super excited and I looked forward to it like looking forward to an important event. The day of the WLS I wasn't nervous at all, I was excited and could not wait to get it done and looked forward to my future with happiness and anticipation. Well, now 3 and a half months out, 50 lbs LESS I know why I was so excited, because it IS! I love my new me, my new outlook in life, my new energy and not to mention new much small sizes in clothing (I went from a size 22 down now to a size 14)~~!!! This forum is amazingly helpful and incredibly informative so keep on it, read more and more and stay away from the few negative ones -- stay positive and go for it! It's amazing and you're going to feel terrific and look gorgeous! I've already talked two friends into WLS and they say I should be a spokesperson for it lol, I love it! Good Luck!!

Awsome!!! CONGRATS!!!!! Hopefully I'm following you -- 3 1/2 months out, 50 lbs less... love it!

You're doing terrific and watch from now on the lbs will melt off. I think I was about 22 lbs down at 6 weeks. Good Luck!

CONGRATS!! Isn't it EXCITING!!!!????!!!

Awwww!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't it wonderful???!!!???!! That's terrific! I took my daughter to Hawaii two weeks ago and yup, no seat belt extension needed, walked miles and miles while in Hawaii and never tired out. I love it!! Yayyy for us!

Awsome! You look beautiful, congrats!! I too went from 22 to 16 (some 14's fit me already)!!! Sooooo exciting right?!! Continue the good work! Congrats again!!! Yayy for us!!

Walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk............. it's the ONLY thing that will really help you... walk often.

Yup the stalls..... no worries, been there, done that! Totally normal and you just wait --in a couple of days the pounds will start melting off and you'll be amazed. Just be patient... it gets soooo much better!!

Good for you -- walk walk walk and remember to stay hydrated so drink those tiny sips of Water often! 8 lbs is good, it'll get better and eventually, the pounds will be melting off and you'll feel amazing! Good Luck!

Forget gax X -- WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK! Gas X releives somewhat but walking is your true miracle to get rid of gas and feel better -- and lose weight wink wink! Good luck! You'll feel amazing in another 5 days or so and then it gets better and better!!
