My gas pains have gotten so much better. My incision pains have also gotten so much better too. Easier to move and breathe. Been trying to stay moving, compression socks, blood clot exercises, gas x strips, Water.
I just wanted to say this to give hope. That it was awful the first couple days but I'm feeling better. And I feel more confident that things can be great.

You will not cause a leak. Move on and don't beat yourself up and learn from it. The pumpkin recipe sounds good though!

Try adding a little cordial to your water- this helped me greatly as it softens it. Use heat pads on your shoulders and back to help with the gas pain and try walking as much as you can. I'm still gurgling a little but have been taking some nice deep breaths which have been helping.
It will get better- hang in there.

Honestly a lot of people are feeling just as self conscious. You are your own worst critic. I don't remember who said this but here are some great quotes:
"It's none of your business what others think of you"
"A slow half mile is still a half mile. Getting off the couch starts with one foot in front of the other".

Don't think about anyone else. I know it's easier said than done and I understand the insecurity of standing out. But screw them. If they are judging you, who gives a shit. You're there for you and to be healthier. And no one should stand in your way, especially turds wearing weightlifting gloves. Take it.

I had surgery 1/3 and I was in excruciating pain for 2-3 days. That's with pain meds! It gets better I promise. Just remember to get your pain meds every 4 hours, walk as much as possible and use something for the gas!

It really does get easier after a couple of days. I am on it too right now. Things I forgot (I had to do this I 2007 when I was banded) is 1. Headaches!!! I don't know if it's the low cal or low sugar but I got headaches every night for a few days 2. Mood swings from being hangry! It dulls down more each day. 3. I hate the taste of fake sweeteners so instead of sf Jello or popsicles I would rather just drink broth till my eyes explode - but realized yesterday, my body made that swap where the fake sweetener stuff tastes like normal sugar. Wahoo broke the sugar itch. Hang in there and keep your eye on the prize. This is temporary.

Just hang in there! It gets easier after the 4th or 5th day. Once the surgery is finished, you'll wonder how you were ever able to feel this hungry. Just remember that this is temporary. Keep yourself busy and remember the prize at the end of the journey!
