I just had mine on Tuesday and my tummy is making the same sounds. I have found that trying to walk helps. Also I've used the infant gas drops and that helps too!

I also am experiencing a lot of gas. I don't know if you have the same thing, but I also get like a pain in the middle of my chest for a quick second and then it goes away. It hurts

The heating pad has helped me with gas. I just laid on it on my back

Gas is normal...Walking was the best way for me to get rid of it. I used Gas-X strips, but those didn't help as much as the walking.

Just keep walking and it will come out. I'm 3 weeks out and even though I'm eating refried Beans once a day now, the gas is not even close to how it was the first week or two.

Gas x strips and walking! I made my hubby stop at cvs on the way home from hospital to get those while he was getting my pain meds.

Took them religiously for about a week. I also forced my fsmily to deal with me going with to the store. .even tho I walked slow as a turtle. Wiped me out for sure...but I did it. We also live in a large apt building and our place is one of the farthest away from the elevator..so I had a lot of walking just to go anywhere.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
