Hi, I was just released from the hospital today. I got sleeved Wed. afternoon. When does the gas pain go away? My pain settled in my shoulders and it is so painful. Also, why do I feel so hungry? Will the hunger subside?

As far as the gas pain walk as much as possible. I'd get a terrible pain In my shoulder and if I got up and walked around my house it would go away almost immediately

I was scared of that pain and went in that hospital knowing when I woke up I was going to make myself get up and walk...and I did. The Nurses just smiled and allowed me to with caution but guess what? Not one issue with gas pain at all so WALK!WALK!WALK! even if you dont think you can, you will feel better and sleep better I promise. Good luck ladies.

I had a hard time initially (and even now!) determining what was stomach pain, what was hunger, and what was gas. I eventually settled on walking, walking, walking, and chewing ice, and sipping, sipping, sipping. In a few days things settled down considerably.

Still learning how to best serve my new tummy! :)

I hear walking and gas x strips work well. I had no gas pain, thankfully.

Walking was the main thing that helped with the gas pain! It will eventually go away, but, I USED THE Gas-X strips also. But, the walking is the best help there is!!! It does get better:)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
