The gas will, for the most part, ease up as your new pouch heals, but walking is the best thing you can do. Walk as much as you can make yourself, and then walk a little more.

Hi All! 3 days post op and feeling good. Gas is moving out, Vitamins are moving in, and weight will soon be moving off! Can't wait. Major soreness, but no actual pain. Very blessed. Now just trying to "learn" a routine that's best for me for meds, Vitamins, and food/fluid. Congrats to all before me and after and I wish you the best of luck!!!

i left yesterday. the first thing i did was take some gas x strips and a heat pad and i haven't stopped farting. I feel so much better. I'm only needing the lortab about every 10 hours today. so that's good. So far the heating pad and my gas x strips are my best friend. good luck to you all just getting here. and thanks everyone for the well wishes.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
