Just walk as much as you can that will help release the gas. I had a friend whom had surgery last year shes helped me so much and when she txt me just walk it will help I didn't even finish reading it and that same night I got up and started doing laps around nurses station. As for the hydration most hospitals have sugar free popsicles that helped a lot as well. Stay strong, each day it gets better! Just walk, sugar free pops and tiny sips. Think of the end results and all the things you will be able to do that you couldn't before. BTW congrats on surgery! ? the way u feel now is temporary....

I had only told my husband and kids. Then then 2 weeks before I told one of my cousins and then the Friday before my Monday surgery told my siblings and my parents and that same week end I was at a family party my extended family noticed I had lost some weight already and they noticed all the food and drinks I was rejecting so I shared that I was having sleeve on Monday. Jaw dropping news since I would always say I was scared of something going wrong and then who would watch over my son with special needs since obviously my husband would need the help. Everyone was supportive for the most part. There was one or 2 people who had their opinions but ad I told them if they are worried or think anything negative just pray for me because im doing it no matter what and I don't need negativity as surgery is set for Monday which was 2 days from when I told them.

So I’ve been trying to get pictures every month to allow ME see the progress. I was sleeved 1/7/20. LOOK!

I only told ~ 5 people--my closest, inner circle friends--including the two men who helped me: One guy took me to surgery and dropped me off at the other guy, who kept me at his place for 3 days post-op (and took me to the doctor's office for my 2-day post-op visit [my VSG was out-patient]).
Months later, when I resumed eating out, some friends later noticed that I was eating small meals, ordering appetizers only,a nd even having to take some of that home. They'd also noticed my weight loss. I said, over the past months I'd limited my portions and went mostly high-protein. Facts.
You don't have to tell anyone you don't want to tell. Besides, some are ignorant of the 'whys' of having wls, or that wls is 'the easy way out,' etc., and you don't need naysayers who may not understand and lack knowledge of the struggle.

I told like literally everyone lol. I was just too excited about it, but there are a LOT of people that I work with that had weight loss surgery. Even the same surgeon lol. So I didn't have the same kind of experience that you've had to go through with small minded co-workers. Honestly, if you're uncomfortable telling people then don't. Surgery is just a tool to help us lose weight, but it won't do it on it's own. So, it'll be YOUR hard work that leads to your weight loss and that's all people need to know about it.
