So this is normal, then! Seems like a lot of gas! Makes me wonder what my belly looked like when it was filled with it. Big belly balloon...lol! I'm thankful to be on this journey with you all too. It's nice to be able to relate on all this.

Today was a bit scary... I woke up feeling tight...sipped warm tea...then later on drank a Protein Shake, and felt it get stuck! How does a watery shake get stuck? It was painful....I walked around with my head pointed to the ceiling, and mouth open because I felt a bubble of gas pushing against what I drank. Took 20 min to get the sip I took down and air from my stomach out. Now I'm sipping Water, scared to drink a shake! That was god awful. Other than that... I'm good! Lol. Heating pad is helping my left shoulder.

Sorry about ur bad experience..I can't drink my Protein Shakes either it gives me very bad gas pains and it seems like it sits @ the top of my stomach...I'm 4 days post op and I have only been sipping on water, grape juice, and Popsicles and today I had about 1oz of mash potatoes..My weight has went from 276 to 268 in 4 days..Please don't do as I have done. hope ur feeling better.

Oh, I'm fine...think I am just swollen. I'll stick with Clear Liquids for a bit then try it again....like you, I'm wondering if the Protein is making the gas worse. Sounds like you are doing really good! You should be proud!

My gas pains didn't really start until about day 3. It was in one spot, lower left belly, right where every move you make hurts it lol. I'm day 7 now (WOOOHOOOO!!!) and it's pretty much subsided. That first night tho, and the following day (day 4) we're pretty uncomfortable. I just dealt with it, as par for the course.

I do have A LOT of gurgling going on in there, some sounding like a bull horn going off lol. At least my farts are quiet lol. I have my husband and boys who make up for it!!! It hasn't been too bad, so I can't complain!

I weighed myself today, first time since the day of my surgery... Down 11.4 lbs!!! I'll take it!!! I'm going according to my own scale, not my drs. At the hospital on surgery day, my home weight and hospital weight were only 0.3 lbs different (hospital was 0.3 higher). At my drs office at my first consultation, he weighed me fully clothed with shoes on. It was 4 lbs higher than being completely naked at home. I figure I'm always going to be on my own scale, always going to be naked while I weigh, so that's the number I'm gonna go with! So, now I just need to convince myself to not expect an 11 lb weight loss every week..... Any suggestions for not getting discouraged when the scale doesn't move (as much as previous week)?

You guys are awesome! Keep up the great work!

As every persons body has its own recovery time so it might take a day or two less or more to recover from this gastric problem.It is better you eat light and avoid foods which add to your woes.Try and keep your movement like walking to the maximum so that it helps you feel better,but please do not overdo it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
