Let me start from the beginning, I had my surgery on the 27th which went fine. The gas pain was the most unbearable thing I have ever experienced. I could not handle the strong pain killer because it kept dropping my heart rate. 2 be day I had ice chips tried to eat jello but I could only handle 1 spoon per couple of minutes. They did the upper gi, which was fine. Got discharged the following day. That night it was very difficult to sleep especially with all the gas pain I couldn't take enough gas-x strips. I Definitely had some regret feelings about the surgery during this phase, but I had to remind myself why I did it. Im never hungry it's a constant struggle to remind myself to eat everything taste yucky. Getting my protein has been difficult. Day 4 I slept on my bed and on my side for a little, I have not weighed myself I prefer to wait until my doctors visit. In conclusion I feel better everyday but it's getting the rest of my body to co operate.

I am pre-op so thanks for the warning. I had to buy 250mg simethicone capsules last week for bad pain so I think thats a warning of how bad it can be. Surgery date june 9th

Good to hear you are doing well. I was also sleeved on the 27th. The gas was horrific. I felt like I had been shot just below by collar bones. It hurt to breathe let alone move. That has passed and I have zero abdominal pain. My lower back is what is killing me from all of the time in bed. I wish you all the best.

Back pain is the problem. Everyday I feel better, trying my best to get the water protein

i took in like 5 gas X strips as soon as i got out of surgery.. it help sooo much.. but overall terisis me and u were on the same boat!! ALSO ON DAY 4. feeling so much better today tho. i am making myself take my pain killers although they make me want to throw up.. but ever since i started forcing that powder down. . ive been feeling soo much better.. i drink more not a lot more but more liquids are going in and i am also able to sleep more.. soon we will be paon free and more focus on getting our protein and water in.. good luck to you.. we together in this process.

I am 2 weeks post op and each day gets better. I still have some gas but it is more of the bloated feeling. That horrible surgery gas pain went away in a couple days.

Everyone says walking helps I beg to differ.
