The gas in your body after surgery



Recommended Posts

I feel like that is what is causing most (but not all) of my pain and it is awful!

I actually feel like there is MORE of it in there!!! I know I have to walk, and I do that a little. I am having a hard time with that because of my RA and the chest pain.

Is there anything else you have tried that has worked?

Anything??

It seemed to help the pain for a little while, but I feel it coming back. Hopefully it wont come back in full effect!

DO not drink or eat while sitting. I got a little routine going. At first, I needed a timer. I did a sip every ten minutes, and then sip-walk-burp. I paced in my apartment while clutching a pillow to my abdomen. Soon enough, the air began to move. Walking is the only thing that helped me. Hot Water beating down my back helped somewhat.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
