Had my sleeve done June 18th, Clear liquid stage, and still having some gas pains from the lap sites, and some incisional discomfort. But excited for the future.

Mine was on the 22nd and am nervously excited too. Concerned about how the food will go when doing liquid ect but also keen to make the changes.

It is a bit better. Thank you for asking 😊. I have walked a path into my wood floor and my husband has been massaging, in addition to warm drinks, gas-x, etc. It’s strange that everything you read will tell you that this should be gone in two days when there seems to be so many others for that is it so. Since there are things surgeons can do to help reduce the problem, it does kind of make me wonder if there’s some surgeons who are just lazy and don’t care. I hate to think that way but not sure what else to think 🥴

at least I am having little in the way of other pain or issues. Except being bored silly with liquids 😂

Yeah Drs were good sorting out buscopan and pain relief for me. I was very lucky from the sounds of it. I am keen to change up from clear liquid and go to smoothies and Soups just for the variety from the Protein Shakes I had for so long.

I truly hope yours ends sooner than mine did. 4 days of this is horrid IMHO,- the spasms on my left side are sincerely hard to handle. I’ve tried so much and nothing fixes the issue. One of my dietitians today suggested lemon juice, she said it work for another patient. Only had concentrated lemon juice and the freeze dried and I’ve tried some of that. No fix as yet 😣 the rest of my healing has been great, that is the crazy part.

Hope your pain is subsiding. Mine is going well with walking, showers and getting hubby to rub my back when he visits.

4 days since my sleeve - doing pretty good at getting my Protein in (60g) and decently on Water (64oz is my goal, yesterday only managed 30 but better the day prior).

only real problem is with the surgical gas - it’s worse than with my hysterectomy (which was rough for 2 days). Last night the pain was so bad in my side that I was in tears (i don’t tend toward the dramatic, it honestly feels as if someone was twisting my muscles on my left side). I have taken every possible step - walking lots, gasx, heating pad, etc. Research shows Most clears out by day 3, but I am day 4 and it only changed sides 😩

On the positive side, I am down 6.6 lb 😊. Sending good wishes out to you all!

I'm only day 2 and the gas pain has kept me up all night. I'm hoping a heat pack or shower shortly will sort some of it out.

Had a positive day today after surgery. Woke disorientated and besides being tired and not being able to sleep, I've only had mild gas pain in my chest. Not hungary at all but I am s little nervous to drink too much Water as well. Hope everyone else is going well.

Extremely nervous and excited my surgery is in the morning.
