I had my surgery on Tuesday, I stayed in the Hospital for 2 days and came home this afternoon. I don't feel well at all, my stomach aches, very bubbly and is very sore. How long does this feeling last for? Any tips on relieving these symptons? I am starting to ask myself why I did this to myself.

I don't know about the bubbly stomach, but the pump you full gas so they can get in there and move around freely. After surgery you need to walk , walk, and walk some more . This helps move the gas out also you meed to drink, drink, and drink to keep hydrated. Take your Vitamins very important. Belive me it gets a little better day by day. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You will do great, if you need to talk we are all here for you.

I am 7 days post op and no longer have the bubbly stomach or gas pains. I used the Gas X strips and infant mylicon drops. I think the mylicon drops worked better than the Gas X strips. Also, walking really does help move the gas out.

OMG! I'm glad others are feeling like this. I had my surgery yesterday along with a hernia repair. The hernia was quite large and involved so I know I'm feeling different because of it but I'm freaking out about what I did to myself.

I'm home tonight and really looking forward to a good night sleep. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

I got sleeved Monday, the first 2 days I was very sore and could only take little sips at a time and needed my pain meds every 4hrs. I feel much better now only take the meds before bed. Like everyone said you need to walk and passing gas helps also.

Have started Prevacid, Nexium or an equivalent PPI? I was sleeved Monday and felt that way until I started my PPI's on Wed. I am fine now.

I had my surgery on Friday, walking stay hydrated and make sure to take GasX or I have an Rx of Nexuum which i take at night it really helps. Then set yourself up for small goal of 15 minutes walks around the house it really does help get the bubbles out in fact you will notice relief as you walk.

I was sleeved in 12/18. The first week I had many thoughts of "what did I do to myself, this is permanent". It gets so much better quickly, if you do as others have suggested. I also had a hernia repaired which makes drinking and eating a bit tricky at times. After the first two weeks, I've been nothing but thankful. It does it better…I promise.

I had surgery about 2.5 weeks ago. Gas X greatly helped with the bubbly stomach. I still take it. I've also had to take two different PPI's. Post op day 3 I thought I was going to die. I was having extreme nausea and couldn't tolerate any cold or room temperature Water. Everything had to be heated up and then I ended up on Reglan. So now, I'm almost 3 weeks. I feel quite a hot better and still on full liquids. My program added bananas, Peanut Butter, and applesauce this week. Previously, I've been doing the Protein Shakes, Greek yogurt, strained creamy Soup, Jello and pudding. Next week I get scramble eggs, potatoes , oatmeal, cream of wheat, cottage cheese. I cannot wait for Tuesday! It will gat better. I questioned myself in whether or not I did the right thing. Still do, but I think that is normal.

I am now 4 days post surgery and I am feeling a lot better. I am starting full liquid diet today and am a little nervous so I will be taking very little steps today. Thank you to all of you for your advice it really helps a lot. For those of you that just had surgery as I did, we are going to be fine I just know it. Lets keep our heads up and find the positive in everyday!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
