Recommended Posts

Day 4post op and I feel much better, though the belly button incision is very painful.and I have a sharp pain in my shoulder now and then from the gas.

I'm getting tired of artificial flavours, Protein Shakes, Jello etc... ugh !V8 tastes amazing! Making my list of delicious Soups &purees that I'm going to make for day 10, real tasting food!!!

I am feeling so sore and full of air so bloated. How long does it take before this feeling is gone? Ready for anything but broth and Jello. Lol I am so happy surgery is behind me!

For me it took 4 full days, every day I woke up a little better. I hate to sound like a broken record, but the more you move and walk the faster it dissipates! I now have mild gas symtoms, if I take too much Fluid at once I can feel it. And the tightness and shoulder pain isn't completely gone but totally bearable. Hang in there!

Had surgery yesterday - no real pain - I would say a little pressure but all good. Was very nervous yesterday and arriving at the clinic did not help I would say. Got to clinic to find out I was having a surgeon that I had not even seen. I had researched all surgeons at the clinic so not a huge deal but was very nervous already so didnt help. Then the iv did not go in easy but I am banded - even had a little Tomato Soup today!

Hey March bandsters, how are you doing? It's March 15th which means about half of us are already banded! I hope everyone's doing well. I am 10 days post-op which for me means I can eat mushie food. Yay! Any other small victories?

I am 4 days post op and feeling much better although still very sore. Most of the bloating and gas are gone but not sure what is going on. It feels like hunger pains but I also feel full. They come on strong like stabbing pain and then go away. The Gas-X seems to help but not sure if it is gas or if I am not eating enough. Any one else gone through this???

      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? 🤷‍♀️
