Great job pal! Keep it up with your discipline.. hows is your food intake this days?

Great work, keep it up

Wow you healed really well. I am up to my fifth month 140lbs down... keep up with hardwork and best in your journey

Good work. Keep it going

That will be Drs question to be on th safe side. In my case I was told: do not lift anything heavier than 20lbs for 2 months. 2 months (time it takes sleeve to fully heal /s seal). After 2 months I started with low intensity cardio. By the 3rd month I started doing weight training. Again check with your doctor first. Good luck

Keep it up pal, you will be able to get your water intake later on... Im up to my 5th month and now I can drink 8 oz per hour... hope you keep going

Great work, keep it up

Amazing job!! I was sleeved in March 2017, after 11 weeks I am down 105 lbs, combination of workout and keeping portions at 4 oz. as well we counting macros. When did you have surgery? And if you don't mind sharing about loose skin.. I am actually doing weight training to prevent that. Would like to know if you ran in to that issue. Feel free to msg, and great transformation

Good job

Congratulations... keep it up

Great work... stick to your diet

Talk to your Dr, every case/dr is different. In my case I did Post surgery week1/2 - Clear liquids Post surgery week3/4 - Smoochie foods Post surgery week5/6 - Soft solids After week 6, I can theoretically eat anything, within 4 oz portions... So far I haven't had sushi, remember you must eat what bring nutrition values, you might be full with 1 sushi portion, but there is no nutrition value Best of luck

When did you have surgery?

Great job, keep it up

I think you shouldn't, as chewing gum may get you air into stomach

I guess every doctor has their own opinion, mine said don't lift more than 20 lbs within 6 weeks. My doctor is very cautious and recommends patients 6 weeks period for stomach to heal. However, looking online some doctors say that takes about 20 days to heal. I guess better safe than sorry

Drinking is a bit difficult first 3 days, sip sip sip, and walk as much as you can, every day gets better, you will feel normal by the 5th day... dont be afraid to take or ask for pain medication if needed. Also, get gas-x strips to relieve gas pain, best of luck with your recovery.. Im only 11 days post op, feel like new.... small discomforts in incisions, but normal

Great job, keep it up with hard work

Hi, Im only 8 days post op, I asked same question to Dr. they told me if my regular was 1 or 2 times a day, my new normal will be once every 2-3 days. Personally, I go every 3 days... ask your Doctor, mine said I can drink low sugar prune juice after week 2.

You will be fine, Im 6 days out of surgery, feel like new. First days you will feel gas pain, Dr will ask you to walk as much as you can to get that gas out of your system. Remember to ask for gas pills to help out. Best of luck...

Great work, keep it up!

Hi from NJ, wishing you luck during your surgery. Mine was 03/10, all went well. Remember to stick to your liquid diet prior surgery, Dr will recommend to start walking after surgery to help with gas (CO2), every day gets better. Best of luck

Walk walk walk, first day is really bad, you will feel better every day. My second day they gave me chewable gas pills, worked like a charm, but walking helps your gas tl go away. By the third day, you will feel great. Good luck

I had my surgery at Hackensack Medical Center. My surgery went well, Dr said no complications. First day was painful, due CO2 it felt like a big bump in my stomach, the pressure is very discomfortable, also experienced some chest pain. First day they had me with IV only, no liquids. However, no hunger sensation. Started walking to help gas pain, Dr recommended to walk as much as I can, which I did and felt much better. Second day, started with 1 oz fluid every hour, along with Incentive spirometer, and walk. I felt some gas pain / pressure on my chest. Dr recommended gas chewable pill, that changed my world, it helped me a lot to pass gas. One thing to note here is that I use CPAP machine, I didn't realized the amount of positive air the machine sends to my stomach, Dr brought that point, that night stopped using CPAP and used oxygen instead. It made lot of difference. Remember there are only two ways to pass gas, and also remember your stomach is too small to make that happen.. second day I walked a lot, at least 8 times, counted my steps and approximately 1,100 steps per every walk I did. Third day, big difference, I feel better, like a 20 year old LOL, my gas pain has minimized to level 1 out of 10. Now I am drinking 2 oz every hour. Looking forward to go home today I also had ultra sound to check blood clogs, all good so far. During 3 days nurse has giving me pain medicine through IV, so far so good

Today I has my SVG They took me to the surgery room at 8:00 am. Surgery last 1 hour. I remember waking up at 10 am. Sure enough, the only pain I had was the pain pressure from gas. After 3 sets of walks and pain medication, my pain was reduced from 9 to 3. Still have gas in my abdomen and chest pressure, does anyone knows how to overcome this a bit quicker?
