I don't have pain as such just soreness. They only 'pain' I get is from my biggest suture when I go walking so I have to slow my walk down. On a separate note I'm starting to have the phantom head food cravings. Usually the weekends are eat out weekends so I will need to adapt to the new lifestyle.

So I've had peppermint tea and I've had a great bit of relief. Thank God for peppermint tea!!

Getting the Fluid is is very challenging. Not sure when to eat or sip or what not. I try my hardest to get it in but if I don't I'm not going to beat myself up over it. @@toli all you can do is try!! Good luck

I've had so many food intolerances before I had this surgery. Milk was a huge one. Having milk now and OMG it's settling my gas pains. Wow. Just went for a walk as well. It's cold outside and I think I have phlegm on my chest so trying to stay up as much as possible.

@@southbound I'm struggling with the fluids. Just had some yoghurt and my stomach is doing flip flops from the gas. Going to go out for a walk in a few minutes to help with it. Not much pain at all though.

My surgeon doesn't recommend any gas relief he says I need to walk it out.

Thanks guys. I'm hoping a few weeks from now I will see this as a blimp in the road.

Catnose I thought I was hungry also but it wasn't hunger it was gas pains. After I've done lots of waking its getting better.

Hi guys I was sleeved 4th Oct and feeling so emotional. The pain is fine it's the gas pains that make me want to cry. I am sat in the hospital wondering if I've done the right thing. I know many of you have probably thought the same thing just looking for some encouragement. Didn't know the gas would be this bad. I keep walking and walking but my God this is really bad. Dr won't give me any gas relief. My throat hurts so bad as well. God help me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm walking every hour when awake..... Really helped and the gas surgical pain almost totally gone.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Same here I walk every opportunity I can and it really helped. Day 1 post op I was like OMG what have I done. Now I'm feeling better

Agreed about the gas but it does get better. Keep walking it helps loads. I can't drink Water at room temperature only ice cold or Hot drinks. About to go for a walk now. I'm taking Calpol for pain relief. Pain isn't so bad today. I get discharged today woo hoo!!

I'm with you on the gas bit. Walking like crazy around the hospital to help. These people won't let me sleep. They won't let me get in the bed ???? Been sat in my chair all day. Bake off is coming on and I'm watching that in the bed.

Yes it does catnose. About to take another walk now.

Walk around a lot. Try to burp. It eases the pains. I was starving but I think it was actually a mental thing considering I still can even drink something till I get GI series. Feeling thinner already. There'll be extra room on the losers bench considering we won't be there long. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App s Doing great. My nurse just left from checking me out. She apparently stepped in /mdninwas in there. Still groggy/foggy. Looking forward ddto being home. Gas pains are going pretty good. Just settling in under my shoulder. Cat napping got me up after two hours of sleep. So far so good!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Jesus loves you!!! Gotta walk around every 2hs (to help gas movement) and inhale on the whatever it's called. I'll get better rest when I'm discharged, hopefully in another 12 hrs. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App They took away my pump. Supposed to get liquid paracetamol. Sipping Water is bliss. I won't be discharged until tomorrow afternoon.

She's given me an antireflux tablet and I'm about to sip Water 30ml per hour. Throat is killing. So dry. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Jesus loves you!!!

Sal and southbound how do you feel? Sleeping is a nightmare. People come in every 30 minutes. I have lots a gas. Loving the pain relief but the pain isn't that bad. #losersbench

Surgery went well but have lots of gas. Here's to tomorrow. Good luck for those 5th Oct

Thank you. Sat in the room now waiting to go back.

I'm leaving for the hospital in a few minutes. Don't think of it as losing your love of food, look at it as in making better choices. You will be great!! Wish you all the best for tomorrow.

Best of luck!! I'm due in the hospital in a couple of hours. I really need to get up to pack hahaha. Big hugs to you!!
