Hi to everyone!! I was banded on 4/20 and was pretty scared for the surgery. My surgery started at 9:30 and I was awake at 11:00!! Home by 3:00!! Every day seems to get a little better. I to have a lot of gas but it only comes out one way (if you know what I mean?) :blink: I would love to burp!! It only comes out like a hiccup. Getting down 64 oz is not fun, I know I don't have that much, but my intake increases every day. Can't wait for Mushies!!! I am craving eggs. Good Luck to All!!:D

I was banded 4/21! And I agree each day gets easier and easier! I too can't wait for mushies! I just want to eat! not craving anything particular, but I was a 2wk liquid diet preoper, and I'm on liquids 3 weeks post op as well! (1 wk clears, 2 wks full).... So I'm ready to progress! Good luck with everything! I've found a lot of good information on this site and ObesityHelp.com... so I'm so happy they're are so many support forums for ANY question you may have!

Haven't had much gas, but I did burp for the first time today and it felt great!!!

Good Luck to everyone on their journey!

walk, WALK, and walk some more, even if it just in the hallway of your home, but really, you should be out if the weather is nice, even if it is to the corner and back. Believe me, walking is the only nice cure for the gas!

It took about year, I had to jump through many hoops, but they finally covered everything.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
