Walk Walk Walk!

After surgery my shoulders hurt so bad I honestly thought that they were dislocated.

Walking did help...but you just have to get all the gas moving out.

Walking has helped me so much. I just had surgery the 8th. :)

Yes, walk walk walk! Doctors say the pain is the gas! I also used GAS X strips. Walk every chance you get even if just once or twice around the hallway :o

Get some chewable Gas X or strips and walk! It is gas that had been put into you to expand during surgery,

My shoulders really hurt, too. I found that a heating pad on them really helped. Turn it up high.

Yes, heating pad was a lifesaver in the hospital! I second the gas x strips and walking. I have to walk when I drink anything to help it go down smoother.

I thought the gas only last a few days. I haven't been sleeved yet but that's what I've been coming across. Any idea how long the gas pain lasts?

I'm 5 dpo and I'm still having some gas, just not as much. I have the most when I'm drinking and right after I finish. But my gas pains were not as bad as some of the others I read about. I felt most of it in my chest but didn't get the refered pain to my shoulders.

Its different for all. I was bracing myself for the gas pain, but was lucky and had none. You just never know :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
