It will pass! My gas pain lasted for about a week post-op. I'm 4 weeks out and I still get gassy from certain foods. Definitely continue to use a heating pad, lots of walking, and gas-x strips!

I was sleeved on 2/26 and returned to work on 3/14. I'm an elementary teacher so I have a pretty active job. I took off work for two weeks which worked out great. I was a little fatigued and sore at first when I returned, but now I feel great! Your body re-adjusts in a short amount of time. Listen to your body like the others said.

I'm 3 weeks post-op and I usually begin to burp constantly and sort of feel my food trying to come up. That's how I know I'm full or probably ate too fast.

Hi all...I was sleeved on 2/26 and I'm experiencing difficulty with getting in my water and protein I feel fatigued all the time due to dehydration. I'm a teacher so I'm having trouble remembering to sip all day. What is a helpful schedule to go by to get all my fluids in? I have got to get some energy fast! I'm supposed to drink at least 64 oz of water and 80 g of protein daily. I'm barely getting in 1/3 of that requirement...

Tonight I just bought some syntrax nectar sample packs from Vitamin Shoppe and I love them! So far I've tried the fuzzy navel flavor. Premier and muscle milk didn't sit too well in my stomach Glad I saw this forum!

I can tolerate isopure much better than premier or muscle milk protein shakes. I think I'm lactose intolerant because my stomach becomes bloated and gassy after drinking those ugh. I normally add crystal light to my isopure to make it taste better.

It will get better! Your stomach is still swollen. I'm 12 days post-op and I can sip normally now as long as I don't take huge sips. My discomfort while drinking ended when I was a week post-op. Hang in there.

Dallas, tx...sleeved on Friday 2/26

How is everyone doing? I just had my sleeve done this past Friday and honestly I wasn't expecting the recovery to be this difficult! My leak test was great but it hurts when I try to eat or drink liquids. It's like my stomach is having spasms. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm guessing it's due to swelling of the stomach after surgery? I got so dehydrated yesterday that I couldn't even urinate anymore. Back to the hospital I went for IV fluids , but today I'm back on track with my fluids now. Pedialyte is helping me a lot in the early stages. Taking it one day at a time [emoji17]

Hey there! I'm scheduled for 2/26 too at 10:00 am. I'm 5'1 and currently 258 lbs. I've lost 10 lbs so far on my 2 week pre-op diet. I can only have clear liquids and protein shakes so it's been miserable honestly. I'm excited though!

Thank you all for your replies!!

I'm from Plano, TX. surgery is scheduled for 2/26!

I'm scheduled for surgery on February 26! I'm on day 3 of clear liquids and I'm absolutely miserable.

I'm scheduled for sleeve surgery on 2/26. How soon can I start taking the required vitamins? My nutritionist said wait two weeks after surgery, but that seems kind of long to wait in my opinion.
