Is anyone having their surgery December 30th ? I am looking to buddy up .

I was sleeved December 23rd. I can tolerate regular Water very well, but pink lemonade Crystal Light is AWESOME!!!! It's very difficult for me to eat 4oz at a time so i normally break up into 2 sittings. Went to first doc visit Monday and he said that is fine, but eventually will want to get to 3 meals a day and 2 Snacks.

Been doing well since surgery never any vomiting or nausea HOWEVER I have serious gas bubbles all the time in the esophagus or the sleeve? gets in way of my consumption whether liquid or food :-(

I don't know what to do to get the bubbles out of the way, they make me feel more full than I am. I can do tiny little burps only. I do gas x but it doesn't seem to help with this particular gas. ANY suggestions?

Hi Everyone, just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I hope everyone is starting to get some "normalcy" back in their lives and beginning to see some loss.

Have a great weekend.

Is anyone still having stomach pain when eating? I went for my 2 weeks Monday and had to get an IV on Tuesday. I was told to eat every 2 hrs, 2 shakes and 3 bottles of water. There is no way, I have no appetite and I don't be thirsty. Can someone help me????

For all of you who are having gas bubbles, stomach pains, etc.. Have any of you been taking a PPI?

I went through having the same conditions and felt I could not eat and sometimes when I did, I vomited. After taking a PPI for the past two weeks it has made a remarkable change. Give this a try.

I have been taking Zegerid which is a capsule and it contains 20mg Omeprazole and 1100mg Sodium Bicabonate twice a day per my Surgeons recommendation. This brand PPI is pretty much instant and not a tablet time-released form like Prilosec.

Oh, btw PPI stands for Proton Pump Inhibitor.

Hi. I had my gastric sleeve on December 29th. I would love to be a part of this group. I have a question. I am at the soft foods and can now have tuna and baked fish. Is anyone experiencing stomach pain when eating. I think I am having stomach spasms. Thanks!

Mamdm...I have stomach spasms on puree and some flavors of crystal light. I just try and eat slow, chew and pray it doesn't last long. ????

That's good to know. Thanks msladyjj44!!!

I have stomach pain only when I eat one bite too many. Then I get a sharp pain and immediately sop eating.

I'm having problems with constipation again Omg I need help

@PaulaleeB...My pain starts from the time I consume food till my last bite.

@Bell1980...I'm struggling with constipation too. Actually, it was a problem for me even before surgery. Have you tried Miralax? I swear by it. I take a capful at night with some type of clear liquid. (1 1/2 if it's really bad) and by the next day I'm getting better.

I tried that Im just having bad luck talked to my surgeon he told me to take magnesium citrate again a lot more had to leave work can't hold anything down my mouth is so dry but I'm gonna try miralax again I didn't use that much the first time hopefully it will help thank you

@PaulaleeB...My pain starts from the time I consume food till my last bite.

I can't imagine. IMHO I think you need to need to talk to your doc. In the mean time I'd go back to broth only. I hope you get some relearn soon. Let me know. You can always message me.

@PaulaleeB...I called him today and went in for liquid test, everything was fine. I have to thin out my puree more, broth and protein shakes. I will keep you updated. Thank You!!!!
