The gas pains are awful How have those of you that have had surgery dealt with them? I've used gas x walking and heating pad. They only seem worse

I gotta say that I had hardly any gas pain. Coming out of the anesthesia took me a little bit of time and most of my pain is around the port area. I stay in the hospital over night and I have been home since around noon yesterday. Last night I was so scared I was going to throw up, not sure what hit me all of a sudden but took some phenegran and all has been well. Working on my first Protein Drink as we speak, hoping to feel the fullness. Before surgery I got weighed and had lost 18lbs in just 10 days. Can't wait to continue to lose this weight. Good luck to everyone else. Tomorrow I can finally take out this On-Q pump!

Banded on Monday June 4th 2012. Super hungry.. Lol have been following the diet but need a better substitute for Protein. I am currently taking the Kellogg's special k boost drinks and they do a great job initially but I am left hungry still.

also I know the gas is a part of the healing process but it's a little out of hand. Gas x chews do not work. I called my doctor today and he recommended warm prune juice and milk of magnesia. Has anyone done this? What were your results..

Ps I have been craving pizza since Monday.. Ahhh what to do lol.

Thanks huys

It is a tube that goes into my stomach with a medicine ball attached in a bag that I carry around. Just until tomorrow. My surgeon does this with all his patients to help with muscle contraction and pain.

Hello all! This is such a wonderful thread. My surgery is scheduled for the 15th, so only one more week to go! I'm really nervous, especially since it's going to be my first surgery ever. Also, sometimes I get cold feet and want to change my mind, but I always think, "I'm this far now for a damn good reason, so no chickening out now!"

The pre-op diet has been a struggle. I've cheated a few times, but for the most part, I've been sticking to it. It's amazing how my appetite has decreased in the last week. I've lost 4 pounds since last Friday, which to me is amazing because I've never really lost weight before, despite my past attempts.

Congratulations to all the new Bandsters out there!! I'm just waiting for my time to officially join you all. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
