Keep walking. When you are sitting, try to be in a rocking chair or glider where you can rock back and forth. While rocking, cross your arms over your abdomen and lean forward with the motion of the chair.
I found a heating pad where the gas pain was the worst helped the pain as well. Good luck!

I am 7 days post op today and the gas has definitely been unbearable at times....but just like everyone will tell you walking is the best remedy. I have tried the gas strips but they didn't work for me, the heating pad definitely eased the pain, but walking was the only thing that helped me pass it. I am hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel soon! Good luck!

I want to know what everyone's best feeling in the world is post op no matter when you had the surgery.
I am 6 weeks post op, down 33 pounds, the best feeling in the world for me at this moment is giving away my fat clothes!!!

it's normal, and to be expected. you are changing key things about your life. hang in there, it's worth it!
for me I was more afraid of the risks with staying heavy than I was of the surgery.

Lupita19 you have GOT this!!! I had my sleeve April 20th and I feel awesome! Tons of energy and for the first time in many years the scale is moving down. It's a wonderful feeling! You are gonna rock your surgery and then post how great you feel, I promise! How here is a big hug O. Stop crying and do something you enjoy. My favorite thing to do was look through magazines at all the clothes I was finally going to be able to wear.

Hey girl,
I was super tired too for my 2 weeks. Cold turkey off caffeine, sugar, food (well the food I liked to eat) and pot had me all kinda of moody. By day 5 I was okay. I cheated twice, but was proud of myself for getting through it.
You got this!!!!

My surgery is on May 9th too! I'm on day 4 of the liquid diet and am starving. food makes my mouth Water now. I've lost 10 pounds already. On day 2 I had a really bad headache and was feeling off. Today it's better but the crabbiness and tired are fully there. I wish you luck! If you want you can add me on fbook to talk! (:

Days 2-4 into 5 are the worst days. At least it was for me. Once you get over the hump it's relatively smooth sailing afterwords.
In a few short weeks I get to do it all over again.

lupita19 reacted to Deleted Profile in Friday will be my 2 months surgiversary :)
I walk everyday 1 1/2- 2 1/2 miles. I actually start weight training this week and I'm super excited about that! I'm about 5 weeks out.

By day 4-5 I was calling my surgeons office and telling them that my blood sugar was too low and I was not going to make it. Basically told to hang in there, I would be ok. They were right. By day 7 it leveled off. I survived. It is soooo hard!!! But you've got this!!!
How long is your preop plan for?

'Normal' is subjective...
But what you're experiencing is certainly not uncommon...
You're body is going to rebel in some manner because you're suddenly depriving it of the sugary/salty/carby/whatevery goodness that it's been used to...
You will probably get thru it without too much if a problem but if it persists, contact your medical support team...
Good luck with it...
Keep us posted...
