    Good to be up and moving. And of course, take those pain meds. Do you have GasX strips? Maybe try those. Congrats on your surgery and good luck

  • I hope you feel better soon! Don't be a hero...use those meds!! LOL

It will get better. Keep sipping on liquids per your doctor's orders and walk walk walk. You'll regain your strength eventually. Use the pain meds your doctor prescribed as needed. It took me about 2 weeks before I didn't need them anymore.

I was sleeved on the 5th, lots of discomfort. I have been walking and sipping, I guess it is helping I still feel like I was hit by a freight train as well. I have this pain that comes and goes between my breasts, does anyone else have this issue?

I get that pain too, it feels much better when I finally burp. Must just be gas.

Sleeved on the 6th-- did anyone get the license plate on the truck who ran me over? Aye carumba!! Feeling rotten!! But they all day I am doing well!

I was sleeved on the 8th. Have a lot of what I would call gas pain. But, it still HURTS! Sipping every 3 minutes and walking every hour. Hope it gets better soon. The gas is the worst part of this! When can you drink normal amounts vs. sips?

Yeah..i get the pain between my chests..every day less and less..i get sometimes when I drink too. I am very weak today..not.much pain..just headache and super tired..i cant seem to get enough vitamins and protien in..today is better tommorow even better..im down 26 pounds since pre,op.. Yipee!

I was sleeved on 11/2 and feel so good I have to stop myself from doing too much. Each day gets better. Walk, do knee bends if you can. I used a heating pad on my stomach and it really helped break up the gas. I am on puréed food noe - they let me start early and I just have to remind myself to go slowly. Just breath, take the meds and move around. You will come to feel normal soon!

I was sleeved on 11/6 doctor said 4 more weeks of liquid but will revisit in 2 weeks. Maybe a cheat on mushy for turkey day. Going back to the gym on Monday. The worst part is burping and hiccups they do hurt. I did ask why so long on liquids he said they have had excellent results with the sleeve healing. So who is it for me to second guess. Good luck everyone thoughts and prayers to you all.
