You need to be taking your Vitamins. You have to take them for life, so you might as well get used to it! Are you having regular blood work done to make sure you aren't developing any deficiencies?

What are you eating/drinking? Are you talking any Vitamins? I've really been slacking on taking them. But I've lost 25lbs since surgery, on February 11th.

Oatmeal helped me!

Good for you! Congratulations!

I was sleeved on February 11th. Just wondering what you all are eating & how much? Also how much Fluid are you getting? And what Vitamins are you taking? I'm still on soft foods, basically anything you can easily cut with a fork. Dying for pickles & cucumbers though! How were/are you doing a month after?

The gas pain you feel under your shoulder is referred pain from the gas somewhere else

If you have that kind of pain this far out, you may be eating too much too fast. You are also likely in the famous 3 week stall. Just keep working the program, and it will come off. Meanwhile slowdown and chew well and stop eating at 20 minutes and see if that helps the pain

Hi. I was sleeved on 2/15. I had gas so bad in my left shoulder that the day shift people thought I had pinched a nerve. (I experienced some nausea and dry-heaving the day after). Night nurse figured it out. Gas-X helped a lot (as did walking). Still, my shoulder had twinges up until late last week. I occasionally feel gas after eating (takes me a bit to recognize it for what it is). I take the reflux med prescribed to me and that helps.

I gained 5 lbs. due to surgery. I lost that and finally hit 10 pounds lost from SW on Sunday. I'm averaging about a pound every other day. It's frustrating when I see people who lose so much faster than I do. Then I remind myself that's around 3.5 lbs. per week. For me, that is pretty darn good!

If you have reflux meds, take them. I get that heart-burny feeling high up if I've eaten too much. It's usually about 1 bite more than I needed because I'm still learning how to recognize my "full" feeling. Gas-X also seems to help with that, and it definitely helped with my shoulder.

I don't envy you. My shoulder was so bad that I couldn't use my left arm to push myself up or out of bed.

I agree with the right below the wing pain. How do we have gas pains way up there? I have a hard time getting Water and Protein down. Keep at it!!! It will happen!

I was skeeved Feb 11th, since then I've.barley lost 10 lbs. It's so frustrating. I lost 29 before surgery abd felt like I was on a roll. What are you eating? I'm.still I pureed foods and can barley eat half a cup. Also when I eat I feel very very uncomfortable, as if I have gas built up between my shoulder blades, it hurts! At times I think I have to throw up and run to the restroom. Anyone else experience this? Ugh it's terrible.

Thanks. I called BCBS IL today and they said I was approved but they hasn't sent the letter yet. Ekkk! Hope that's true. Good luck!

Hi, this is my first time posting. I have a surgery date of February 11th. I'm still {impatiently} waiting on approval for insurance. I'm getting nervous!I'm worried I won't be approved. I started my pre op diet today, basically carnation instant Breakfast for breakfast & lunch then lean meat and veggies for dinner. How long did it take your insurance to get back to you? Mine was sent in 01/19. I have BCBS IL.
