I understand how you feel. I'm 6 weeks out and it's 1 thing after another. I'm still on purée food in which I don't eat because I had my esophagus dilated. I really want reversed but I'm praying it will get better. Hope it gets better for you!

I felt that way too and had 1 incision giving me the blues. I walked and walked and walked. I had gas x and finally tried a heating pad. It helped so much thanks to advice from someone on here! It does get better with the pain. I will be praying for you!!

Great question! I have been tempted also due to my anxiety.

I am 3 weeks post op and have not met my protein goal 1 day. I'm having a hard time eating because I don't want to. I am extremely tired and i know it's because I'm not eating enough. I got a virtual infection that just has to run its course and I started my monthly cycle after not having it for years!! I am depressed and will be visiting a pyc on the 7th. I don't think I can succeed because I have no will right now! Is it possible to have the surgery revered?

It comes n goes. For the most part its a sharp pain when I move from one position to another. When I try to eat i can only get about 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons. After that I'll start hurting a bit. This is a little much for me but I knew what I was getting into!!

It's the incision on my left side. The doctors said it was the one that they used most so it gonna be sore. Also it is pretty big compared to the others. I also use those shakes but holy cow they are getting alittle thick!! I can take 1 for sure per day but the second causes me trouble.

I'm doing better just lots of emotions right now. One of my incisions is bothering big time but the doc says everything looks good. How are things for you. The protein intake is still hard for me!

Hi everyone I'm Vanessa just had surgery 12-9. Really not what I expected and I'm getting frustrated with pain, having to consume Protein (shakes are killing me already), and drinking so much Water. I have been dehydrated for the past 3-4 days so I had to consume a god awful amount of water today( working on my 4th 32oz cup). I have no choice but to hang in but OMG I need this part to end already!! I know this wil pay off in the end and I will laugh about this!! Sorry for the rant!! Good luck to everyone!!!

I am now 5 days post ops and I started eating oatmeal today. Is it too soon? I just am so tired of protein shakes been drinking them since before surgery. Plus I am terrified of losing my hair!! Any suggestions on how to prevent hair loss.

Thanks everyone!! I tried the heating pad and had such relieve by this morning. I was even able to sleep in bed for 6 hrs straight! ????

How long does it take for gas feeling to go away??
