    Weight Gain 2 weeks post op

    I’m thankful I found this thread from a few years ago. I’m two weeks post op today and have been having a little weight fluctuation since starting on puréed foods last Thursday. I lost 18 pounds in my first week after surgery, but then put 3 back on, 4 back off, and 3 back on. I know I shouldn’t be weighing myself daily but I haven’t been able to stop doing so. Hoping this is normal and overall I’ll drop a ton moving forward!

    Advice on gas pain

    Long time lurker, first time poster here today. I had my gastric sleeve procedure today and the procedure went well. Minimal pain at the incision sights, but holy cow is the pain from the gas no laughing matter! Currently sitting in a recliner in the hospital room hoping to fall asleep when with the high amount of pressure in my chest from the excess gas. Any advice other than walking it off? I was actually walking so much the staff reminded me rest is also critical to my recovery. I just want the pressure gone!
  3. Hey everyone - Had GSV yesterday and it went well. Had a ton of pain from gas buildup but that’s subsided a ton today thanks to a ton of walking yesterday and this morning. The other pain I have is when drinking anything at all. Feels like the sharp pain kicks in when the liquid reaches the new sleeved stomach. Is this pretty normal to have this pain shortly after the operation?
