Dull Pain and Fullness

I am day 9 post sleeve, since last 2 days, diarrhea has disappeared, instead now I have a dull pain in stomach and it feels full, specially in evening. As if the whatever I take is still in stomach and hasn't passed through. It has reduced my fluids too. At times I feel I want to burp, but can't. I am passing gas but no motion in last 2 days. Walking regularly but hasn't helped much.

Have you tried milk of magnesia? It will help clear you out in a gentle way :). Also, walking a lot has really helped clear up that feeling.

I feel your pain. I'm day 8 and can only have clear liquids. I tried to slowly advance and I felted bloated, full and miserable. Walking helped. But who wants to walk outside at 10 pm? Milk of mag cherry cream helped considerably. It took about 24 hours. I will probably take it a couple times a week so I won't get backed up. Gas x strips helped and so do Tums. I actually had acid reflux in the middle of the night. Where did that come from? It's not like I had a big slice of pizza before bed. Good luck and hang in there. Remember, are digestive systems are like a hour glass. Nothing goes down unless we are up!

Call your doctor. It sounds like you may need a PPI like Prilosec (omeprazole). He can either prescrie it for you or you can buy it over the counter.

I recently had my script increased. I now take one 40mg in the AM and I am good all day.
