As an expert pooper I really want to know when I will get my pooping skills back! This gas is so terrible! Rumble Rumble Rumble and no poop...no burps!! I have a scarf wrapped around my belly for when I walk. I am not sure doctors really understand that we have big droopy bellies and they just hang out there. When I had breast reduction surgery i had to wear a surgical bra. I feel like we should have a surgical belt to help keep our tummy in place. The incision pain is horrible. When will that get better? Yesterday i freaked out a little because i was able to eat a whole popsicle. Seemed like too much liquid. Also when I did my upper GI yesterday after my third sip I threw up. I was in rush hour traffic and was sick by the time I got home. I also have a little shortness of breath. All in all I think I am ok. What do you think?

You will start pooping once you get something in your body that can be pooped out. A whole popsicle is not that much liquid, really, and it is like ice chips, you can have quite a few of those and not get sick. The liquid for the GI thing is just nasty and if you had to do three sips, that was probably enough to send you over the edge. I don't know about the shortness of breath. I didn't need anything around my stomach (and believe me, it's droopy). I didn't have incision pain, just itch.

My inision pain is the worst!!! I mean terrible!!! Sharp shooting like if I move to much they are going to split open and I will die!

i was sleeved on 5/24. it took me over a week to go to the bathroom. it will happen. i think that everything you're feeling is normal. i ate whole popcicles--a lot of them. they tasted better that anything else. also, my incision pain was horrible, but it gets better every day. i am still sore, and i am 3 weeks out. it will get better!

Sleeved on 6/13 and I'm still in the hospital with complications. You name it and it has happened,but it is my hope and my prayer that I will be home in my own bed on Friday! Prayers and lots of them are needed.

Everything will get better. You have not had enough intake to poop and eventually you will! Once you add Protein shakes etc. it will get better.

Popsicles went down easily for me and were a godsend- enjoy! That can only help you with your fluids, which are often hard to take in at the beginning.
