I'm doing it all. It's so frustrating. Thank you for the reply.

Hi daisygirl10. .. when I had post surgery gas pain I had my husband pat firmly and quickly all over my back (like burping a baby but all over) it really helped move it. The pain was in my shoulder and under my ribs

OMG, was he brave! If my husband even looked like he was going to touch me, I gave him "the look" and he retreated!
VERY! But by day 3 and the pain not moving I was begging for him to do something... my parents are both nurses and they suggested it... not saying it was comfortable but the pain was worth the relief ????

Heating pad helps for gas pain

I had my revision from band to bypass on May 13th, having a tough recovery as I had complications but I trust it does get better. Hang in there

I had my surgery one week ago today, was discharged Friday and back in the ER on Sunday, for 9 hours for dehydration. It has not been a good week. I'm regretting this. I hope better days are ahead.

Oh, I do hope you'll begin to feel better. My Dr put a real fear in me about dehydration. He asked me to keep a log showing I was sipping Water that first day - 1 oz every 15 minutes I was awake, 2 oz days 3 and 4. It was difficult, both to remember to record it and to get that much in, but it made the first few days better, I'm sure.

I hope you're on the mend now and feeling better. This is major surgery and we can't expect it to be flawless, even when we follow orders.

Feel better.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
