How are fellow March 19/20 sleevers doing?

Just wondering how others are feeling. The gas pains are horrible. Gas-X is not working. What else are others using? The dry heaves have just about stopped but still don't have an appetite. Just trying to get some liquids in at this point. I know there's light at the end of the tunnel but it seems so far away right now. ????

I tried the gasx too, didn't work. Walk walk walk more and I've noticed when the gas comes out the other end, you feel so much better!!!

Get up and walk!!!'

Mine was 3/18. Everyone is different but the gas is an issue for me too. It's making me feel like I'm hungry and I find myself craving certain foods that I can't eat right now being on a liquid diet.

That's exactly what I'm feeling! I feel hungry too...I think I am because I haven't been able to tolerate anything but green tea. Popsicles, jell-o, Isopure are all WAYYYY to sweet and make me gag. *deep sigh* I feel better knowing I'm not alone. :)

Chest X-rays shower the opening to my stomach from the esophagus was almost closed. All the Fluid I took in would stay in my esophagus. A horrible feeling. Long story short I got Pneumonia in both lungs. Waiting to get a pic line and maybe sent home soon?. Nausea is better when I don't eat. What I wounded do for a big gulp sf lemonade. Trying to stay positive this too shall pass.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying you get home soon and begin the healing process. There is light at the end of the tunnel...we're getting there! Slow and steady wins the race. :) Wishing you the best.

Had mines on 3/19. I'm doing great. My doctor just took my drain out abt 30 minz ago.

I'm so glad I did not have to get a drain, I just got bandaids.. I know that hurt coming out.

I had mine on 3/18 and today is the first day that am having issues with gas, I did take in more fluids based on being awake most the day. I also had my first BM. Very easy ;) . But this gas yuck

I'm 2 days post op and I get horrible gas pains. The only thing that helps is walking.
