Im 3 days post op and i still haven't passed gas. Dr isn't too worried about it but the gas pains are wearing me out! Any suggestions? I walk once an hour around the hospital and still nothing. :(

can you lay on your left side at all. if you can lay on your left side with left leg straight and right leg bent, that has helped me in past operations. A forever ago maternity nurse told me that trick, after a c-section and it has served me well...Old Broad new what she was talking about. lol

Today is crazy! I went ahead and worked today because I am going to miss my students so much!! I drank the magnesium citrate stuff and am playing the waiting game now. I think today everything set in a little more. I am nervous about everything becoming really real tomorrow. I am praying for you and everyone else that surgery and recovery goes well. I will definitely keep in touch and am so excited about all of this!!

Yes! I'm not really nervous anymore. It's weird. But I'm sure that'll all change tomorrow am! I will be praying for us tomorrow and for everyone else going thru this as well and I'll update when I can. I go in tomorrow at 10am.

3 days postop and tried baby food today and it went well. I am already on a soft diet after doing the 2 week liquid diet prior per my doctor. I am afraid to try other things on the list like cottage cheese, but I am on the soft diet for 2 weeks so I have time. Strange how I can only eat 1/2 of the baby food container and not be hungry. The liquid diet was torture I was so hungry, so now it is nice that I am not. i have to remind myself to eat most of the time. How are all my fellow postop people doing?

Today went fantastic! I was done and in recovery by 2pm. Now I'm all rested and not in any pain at all! Getting out of bed is the hardest but that's it! I really hope everyone else's went smoothly! :)

Thanks everyone for the prayers I deffinatly needed them my doctor said I wasn't out of the woods yet I'm still on very strict orders and only liquids for another 3 weeks not even Protein Shakes with my stomach being so fragile I can't risk it busting open again so I have broth, poweraid zero grape ((is amazing especially super cold)) & sugar free Jello and popcicles and luigis italian ice no sugar added of course ..... But ill take it they finally said I could go home because I kept having very high blood pressure from stressing because not being with my boys and husband

      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.
