I was sleeved on thurs the 19th so I'm 4 days post op. Trying to get down the liquids and get in my Protein Drinks which has not been easy...two sips and I'm so stuffed, it hurts. Today has been the day with the most pain...thinking maybe I over-did it at the weekend. I'm sore and tired, but thankfully the gas is subsiding...

I haven't started Vitamins yet but I ordered Wellesse liquid vitamins from Amazon. I tried them before surgery and they were not bad. The price was much more affordable than others.

Congrats to everyone for taking this big step! Best of luck to you all!

Txgirl for the gas take a towel, wind up tight to make it hard and press it against your stomach. Try burping it out. &&&& walk, walk, walk. Good luck!

Thank you, I will try before bed time

My doc ok'd my remedy for moving my digestive system along. It worked before surgery. I am a holitic nut so she said go ahead. You rub Castrol oil in your tummy place a plastic bag or Sara wrap over tummy and place s heating pad. It moved gas out etc. Castrol oil works if you swallow also but way too yucky at this stage of healing. I promised it works. My colonic theraphist says it's been used for hundreds of years. My mom gave me as a child also.

I can only get in 1 Protein Shake at 5 days post op and then I'm full for like 2-3 hrs and don't want to drink. It's exhausting! I'm happy I'm at least getting 1 in. I use Isopure chocolate with a tsp of PB2. It's a lot getting maybe 40 of Fluid in and it's rouggggh!!! I'm on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks and I can't wait to start puréed food. Lol it's been a struggle post op a lot of nausea and vomitting. Just sticking to 1 day at a time!

Good luck fellow sleevers!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
