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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
