Yes I am gassy, but I can deal with that.

So for I have no nauseous issues at the this time.

I have had two Protein shakes, Water, an broth

Did the doctor give you medicine for your nausea?

Yes they've given me a lot for the nauseous.

I feel way better now:) I can't believe u get Protein I get nothing for 7 day except Clear liquids.

Ya the gas made me so sick oh and they tried broth I hated it. Lol

I am home as of this afternoon. I am sore, but the gassiness and slight stomack pain is my biggest complaint so far.

Stinks you can't have Protein yet, but broth is awesome and has some flavor unlike Water

Evening all!

I had the sleeve on Wednesday the 8th. I was very excited. I have waited 10 years to make this choice.

I am feeling pretty good. Pain meds gave me a Migraine for 2 days. I warned the doctor and the nurse and the pharmacist that I was allergic to codeine. They assured me I would be fine. NOT. No pain meds but now bad bloating and gas. I have walked and tried gas x strips. no relief. any suggestions?

I also haven't been able to get much down. it just increases the gas pain. anyone else. I'm not complaining less calories. but I would love to hear your feedback.

Thank you!!! Wishing overall success to everyone.

I have found nothing for the gassiness as of yet either. Just something I need to get used to while my body adjust to the new plumbing

Good luck to all in their journey

Gas X chewable's completely helped me. And gas pain was unbearable. Like I was hysterically crying because it would get caught under my diaphragm and rib cage.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
