Is that gas killing you yet??

When I got home after surgery I stood in the bathroom mirror for about 20 minutes saying to myself "What did I do" My shoulder and back were killing me fro the gas. They kept telling me to walk ...but even hurt to walk!

I walked with a small pillow against my stomach and it helped with any pain while walking. Congratulations! Get plenty of rest!

Thank you all I had the surgeon in the state it was so quick I didn't even think I got banded. lol but the gas x works really well and take a inflammatory and some like prevacid too slow form gastric juices and u will be fine. The funny thing is u work up and asked when was I going to surgery and they said you where in recovery I almost feel out the bed.

      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.
