Bluemoon

I was sleeved on 12/21. I lost 9 lbs before the op and lost another 20 in the three weeks post op but since then I have not lost a pound. I am sticking to the plan but do have difficulty drinking the amount of water recommended. I also don't exercise enough. I walk multiple times a day but don't work up a sweat. I plan to start from next week. Other questions: 1) 5 weeks post op and my main wound opened up on one side and is still open and weeping. Is this normal? It isn't infected. 2) I get excruciating hunger pains, especially at night but when I eat, I feel like I can't get much down before my stomach hurts. 3) I still get gas after eating or drinking and live on Gas-X. Does this get better? In general, I'm very happy I had surgery. The op was not anywhere near as traumatic or painful as I thought and I've recovered fast. I eat almost normally but small portions and have to chew well. How do I speed up my weight loss?

I had my surgery on 12/21/2017 and I was also prepared and a little anxious. I was one of a group of about 8 who had it done and my surprise was how little discomfort I felt. The others were the same. We were all up and walking hours after surgery. The first day on ice chips is hard but after that it gets steadily better. Buy some Gas-X for the gas pains and you won't have issues. Even the gas pains were manageable and not worse than what I've experienced eating too much before sleeve surgery. Really, you're going to be thrilled when you've had surgery and discover it's not half as bad as you anticipated and your new life begins. Good luck!
