Warm tea helped me tons, especially with getting in my fluids because cold Water hurt so badly. I can't think of the brand, but they make the Sleepy Time Tea. Yeah, I should have bought stock in that company before surgery. I loved the raspberry tea!!!

I have the same issue I had mine Tuesday and I'm still experiencing what I think is gas every time I eat or drink. Is this normal? I'm six days post op. thank you.

Yes it is normal, gas x strips and pearl probotics help.

Elektrik_Rose:How are you feeling? I am feeling awesome! Almost pain free...EXCEPT for when I sneeze! I feel like I am being stabbed in my lower abdomen by my belly button.... Other then that I feel great! I didn't think I would feel like this, this soon, I went to the mall tonight and walked around and everything and still feel great! I even slept on my stomach last night! I still find drinking warm Chamomile Team feels great in my new little tummy!

@Calebsmommy It feels great to walk without heavy breathing right? LOL! I did my follow up appointment with my PCP on Monday and went to Target after. I walked around for 3 hours just looking at stuff, mostly clothing I'll fit into later. I had no stomach pain, my feet didn't hurt and I never ran out of breathe. Yesterday I did my follow up with my surgeon. He's very upset about my Protein intake. I get very nauseous now when I try to get it down. It's like it's too thick. I had 2 Protein Drinks today despite how I felt, yogurt and some Soup. I also got the majority of mg Water down and of course my FAV, a sugar free Popsicle. The gas gets better every day. I think I'm almost done with it. How are you feeling?

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
