Don't get me wrong, at first I thought I made a mistake, what have I gotten myself into? The pain from the gas was sickening! One positive thing, I am able to get my fluids down. How long will it take for the gas pain to pass? I be glad when I can start enjoying this new life journey. More positive news, I haven't had an appetite! :)

I still have a few gas pains but mostly I have back pain from laying around to much this last week. Everyone says to walk,walk,walk and that will get the gas out. I'm trying to get a walk in everyday but I've been lacking energy I had a rought time getting my Water and Protein in for the first few days so I think I'm a little dehydrated too. So now I've started writing it all down so I can get enough in and it seems to have helped. I hope your pain goes away soon so you can get on with enjoying your new life. :D

The days are getting better. Found out that my blood pressure pills had something to do with my shortness of breath. Still have gas pains, but I am good !Thank you and I wish you luck as well.

Glad you found out what was causing the short breaths. Sounds like you are feeling a lot better too. I'm doing pretty good, a little bit of a weightloss stall but I guess that happens. Wish I could get more Water in but I just get tired of drinking things and get really full from the Protein Shakes. Good new is I get to start pureed food on Tuesday woohoo lol

      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.
