Okay sleeved 3/30... And I'm still having problems with gas . It keeps wanting to come up (belching) and it hurts whenever it happens ... I'm just curious any ideas on things I can change with drinking or eating to help it

Don't shake your Protein Shakes to mix them up or the froth left on top will wind up as gas in your tummy

Oh yeah- expect for it to be more intense for the first week and a half. The gas x strips to help a lot.

Some of what your feeling too maybe the trapped air in your chest, from surgery. That will be absorbed over the next week, but it makes things uncomfortable :(

I try to exhale when I swallow.. to take in less air. I'm not sure if it's working, but I think it is lol

Walking around definitely helps. Also be conscious of how much air you swallow while drinking. It's something we never thought about before but it's a big deal now.

Impossible to stop all together. Best way to minimize it is to eat slower than you ever have before. I'm still learning how to do this because I used to eat way too fast. I was sleeved 3/23.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
