    @Calebsmommy I bought some tea and I'll try it warm. Everyday the gas gets better.

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 feel awesome! I have walked around that mall, done 12 loads of laundry food shopped! Feeling like normal life again!!! I have lost 12lbs since surgery! I can't complain!!

Wow, 12 loads of laundry. I'm impressed!

I will try walking more. The only thing I was told to pick up was Gas Ex for the gas pains. I'm drinking some decaf tea and this seems to allow me to burp a bit. Did it hurt any of you to burp' date=' cough or sneeze?[/quote']

I was sleeved Thursday and the gas pain is the worst. I didn't even pass gas until Saturday for the first time. I walk and walk, and walk but it just refuses to move. Then when I eat or the gas gets worst..ugh..I can't wait until I get out off this beginning stage...boy its rough.
