Had my surgery this morning and am now on the other side!!! Yay!!! All this gas pain isnt much fun and im having a hard to time getting alot of Fluid into because i feel full quick not sure if im really full or if its a combo of the gas pressure with the fluid im consuming just making me feel full? On a full liquid diet for the next 4 days.

Yea I had my surgery Tuesday and I feel the exact same way, when I drink I feel like a blow fish.is in my upper stomach. Was even wondering if I could stretch my pouch, but everybody is saying they felt the same. I guess it is like you said gas and Fluid. It is very uncomfortable. It was hard to get all my Protein in but I finally am, 80 mg, Protein drinks of course.:) Good luck with your recovery.

IT's gas and the air...walk when you can even if it is just down your hallway and back to the bed/couch...it definitely helps release the gas. Burp as much as you can!!!

I could not hardly get anything down the day of the surgery,but I did the next day. But like I was saying it was uncomfortable. If your protein drinks are a clear Fluid, like mine I mix with a cup of water and they are like a juice. I think it counts as a fluid. If they are straight up milky I don't know. Seems to me if you add any water that water would count.

Hey Steph i was thinking about what u said about the fear of all this bloating and gas mixed with Fluid intake stretching the pouch. I dont think thats possible because....the liquid passes through in approx. 15-20 min. Or so and if your like me sipping little bits at a time 1/2 of my 4 oz chix broth has passed down before i get the 2nd part done. Not sure this is accurate but it makes sense. If it was food i think thats diffetent because it sets longer in the small area. Just my take;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
