Reporting back

Got home was doing ok but then started having some :( friend brought me some gas x . Downed 4 strips and called my doctor. Nurse told me I needed to take some Protein.so I'm on my second little 15 gms Protein drink..feeling some pain.took my loratab elixir.....hopefully it'll make me feel better.

Also I didn't have shoulder pain until today like 1 hr ago...and I thought I was gonna be a lucky one.

Gonna try to lay d down even tho standing up feels better.

So all of this is normal right?

Raul, you need to get out of bed and walk. The pain is gas. Walking dissipates the gas, and the shoulder pain will go away. Get up! Trust me.

Dave actually after surgery and all I was walking around at the hospital for a long time. I actually went to bed at 530 in the morning due discomfort...

Feels like gas sometimes but sometimes it just feels like pain and then I suffer from a little anxiety so that makes it even worse.

I just cut chicken broth and also I had my Protein drinks.

I'm not gonna lie my stomach looks bloated lol.haven't lay down at all today either as I want to walk this pain off :)

Sorry you're feeling poorly. They kept me on the anti-nausea meds at the hospital, forced me to sip Water like crazy, and walk laps around the hospital hallways every hour. I had very little accumulated gas, and it dissipated quickly. By Day three I was feeling a lot more back to normal.

Good luck!

Day.3

Yesterday night was a little rough.had some weird dreams but finally got to sleep qwerty around 3 ask with the help of the elixir,a heat.patch and a massage on my shoulder.

Went to see my nurse today.she says I'm healing pretty good and the shortmness of breath is most likely due gas and my anxiety.

I'm back home gonna rest some more and keep doing my walks

Hey Raul,

I am reading everyones comments and they all sound so familiar. Drink and walk as much as you can. I know its painful but it will get better. After 2 weeks of surgery, I wasnt drinking much and ended up in the ER because I was dehydrated!!! Try to rest also. Dont over work your body. Hope this helps. Keep in touch!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
