I'm doing pretty good. The gas pains are slowing subsiding. The thing I'm struggling with is drinking all of my meal. I have been walking a lot which helped with pain. The most helpful towards the gas was (I passed gas finally today!) how are you feeling other than gas?

Thanks! Good luck on your surgery. I was a mess waiting for the surgery, because it was my first surgery, but I'm so happy I did it!

My gas pains are the ones in my shoulder so passing gas isnt going to help :-( besides that I'm feeling alright. Having a very hard time drinking my 2oz of ensure shake (I have 2oz 3x per day)..I just dont feel hungry. Seems like we are going through the same stuff.

Congrats on your new journey. I was sleeved the end of February and I now feel great. But the gas pains were probably the worst. I took gas-ex at least 3x a day extra strength for about three weeks. It helped so much! Just focus on getting in your liquids, my nut said the fluids are more important than the protein for the first couple weeks! Good luck!
