What I've found that has helped me the most today with the gas pain is rocking myself in a rocking chair and using a heating pad on my belly. It has done wonders for me today. Yesterday I was so miserable from the gas I kept thinking to myself WTF have you gotten yourself into? Lol I do normally have a very high pain tolerance but the gas pain is like nothing I've ever felt before! And it just gets stuck and it's hard as hell to get that shit out.

I was sleeved on Thursday too! I've had terrible gas pains and the only incision that bothers me is the one in my belly button. I've burped several times and that helps some but still haven't passed gas or had a bowel movement. I'm hoping by the end of the day or tomorrow I get some bathroom relief. I've been walking my tail off and it helps to get the gas moving around. So I'm thinking today is going to be the day! Sending prayers your way for a speedy recovery!

Every diet is specific to what dr. u are with, my pre op was 10 days of 2 Proteins, and small dinner, but it really prepares you for afterward, the biggest 3 things I can tell u since I am post op since june10th is
1,don't get discouraged, your body is used to eating a lot, eventually u adjust. And your new stomach size will help.
2, learn to sip now, it was a big problem for me, but if u start training your body and mind to sip it will get u ahead, I am at 50-60oz now.
3, right after surgery when you are alert enough walk walk walk walk............... As much as you can, you will feel so much better and even better the second day.
I was at 388lbs in January, 362.2 on my first Dr. visit in April, 346 on June 10th surgery, and Friday at my dr. Appt I was at 324.0, and 6 waist sizes down, put yourself and body into it and don't look back, wait for the small bumps in the road but don't sweat them, it gets much better.

I'm scheduled to have my sleeve surgery on July 9th at 1:00pm. I am 5'9 and 269. My doc suggested I lose 5-10 lbs before surgery and the only pre op diet I have to follow is 2 Protein Shakes and Water the day before surgery. He did recommend that I focus on 3 meals a day eating fruits/veggies first, then Protein, dairy and starches last if I'm still hungry. I have to admit I'm incredibly nervous that I'm going to be in for a HUGE shock after surgery since I'm not having to follow a very strict pre op diet. I'm trying to mentally prepare as much as possible but I'm starting to think not being on a strict diet before surgery is setting me up for failure after surgery.
