Howdy everybody! i came from Florida and I am so happy to be good and feeling great in my 3rd post surgery day (i had the gastric sleeve on july 20th in Tijuana Mexico), i still have poor energy but let me tell you something...don't try to keep you alive shewing just popcicles and ice cubes, after your 2nd or 3rd post surgery say you can have also apple juice, broth, gatorade....and guess what i got that gave me high recover and energy??!! LowFat Milk-Low Sugar Protein shakes! that has been helping me a lot, also for helping you to burp CHEW GUM!, try to walk a little more so all that air and gases will come out some how, in one way from another, believe me! I am here for you if any of you need some of my personal advices that im using to relieve my self (and i will love to hear about yours too!) I am gonna miss you all, God bless US and help us out in this beginning of our new lifes. Cheers and tumbs up for all of you guys!

Peace, love and respect :wub:

I had my gastric sleeve on July 17th! Also from Florida! I had mine done right here in Orlando though, I was fortunate to be able to do it close to home! The gas pain was the worst! But around day 4 it was pretty much gone and by day 5 I felt back to normal! I laid on my left side a lot and that helped with the gas pains!

I know the gas pains can be horrible and make you want to burp, but be very careful with that gum....
