I took my liquid pain med the day I came home and the next day. I vomited a lot and needed it after that. But I haven't needed any since very early yesterday morning. I've felt so tired and sluggish until I had some powerade zero. It's been my absolute life saver! Got out of the house today and have felt better. Hope you feel better soon!

I was sleeved on the 16th by Dr. Maliapur at Huntsville hospital. Yesterday was by far the worst day yet. I can't seem to get this gas to leave my body and I've tried everything! Hope you all are doing well!

Hey there. The best thing that you can do is walk and keep your body moving. It helps alot with the gas. I have been walking for about an hour a day and I haven't had alot of gas pain

Def be up and moving. I'm up walking a lot too, not much gas pain at all. Just if I oversip liquid. Gas x dissolvable strips are awesome too! Hope you feel better soon!

Hey cprince1975, we have the same date and doctor. What time is your surgery?

Hey! How are you doin? Been wondering abt you

I've literally done nothing but walk. I did 60 laps in the hospital, done 0.5 miles of walking outside of the normal walking everyday and this gas is just super stubborn and won't go any where. Other than the gas I'm doing ok. Mild incision pains, and sore stomach but luckily nothing major yet :-)

Try the gas x strips. Those help

Hey, ive been doing better than expected. Im pretty soar around my incisions, especially my belly button and the one to the left. I didnt have alot of gas pains but I do walk and burp alot. I just ate some sf pudding and it went down w/ no problem. I dint have any pain meds today, so im hoping that was the end of that. I did take some liquid Tylenol due to a headache. Liquid meds are horrible!!

I hope everything is going well for you.

How is everyone doing? I must say it is getting easier for me. I've lost 32 pounds so far.

Good here! Lost 24 lbs and feel wonderful! Still on purée and doing well. Getting easier to get fluids in. Still short of the goal but easier to sip.

Hey I've lost 82 pounds. I went from a size 26 pants and 3x shirts to a 16 pants and xl Juniors shirt. I agree with you. My life has changed and totally graceful. I got to start taking my vitamins I have been forgetting.

I'm terrible about my vitamins too :(. I've been trying to do better, esp since losing so much hair. Glad to hear from you.

That's wonderful!! Awesome job! What were both of your starting weights & heights? I just started my preop diet today, surgery in 2 weeks and would love to know what you've been doing?

Cardio 4 times a week. 60 minutes

I eat mostly seafood like crab, fish and shrimp. I eat chicken every now and then because since surgery I get bad heart burn every time I eat it. I drink about 90 ounces of water a day and average 60 to 75 grams of protein a day.
