Just sore all over stomach area. I'm feeling really lethargic as well. All I want to do is sleep. I have been able to drink Water and Protein (I'm still on liquids for 2 weeks post-op) shakes but I am not at all hungry. I had a severe reaction to the steri strips so the Dr. removed them yesterday. Hopefully the swelling and itching will subside soon. I think if we up our protein intake maybe we will have a little more energy. I start my Vitamin regimen back today also. Keep pushing forward everyone your doing great so far.

Had anyone tried eating or drinking since surgery? I've only been able to keep down a couple bites of yogurt and 2 sips of Soup besides Water, which still pains me. I feel like I need calories, but am afraid to eat.

I'm able to drink the Protein Shakes. If it is to thick for you you can water it down. Just go slow and sip on it. I hope you feel better soon.

I am on full liquids also. I can have pudding, Jello, and yogurt, so grits aren't that far off I guess

How long does the gas in your chest last? It is really killing me tonight.

I've been lucky and only get a little once in awhile when I sip and it goes away quickly. Have you been able to walk much?

Anyone feeling emotional yet? I have been happy and stable this whole week. Even the day of surgery - never felt sad, and never had the feeling of regret so many sleevers talk about. Just happy and thankful for this new beginning. Then this morning, wham! Cried for no reason. Had no clue why. Just had a good cry. Only thing I could think of was hormones or the fact that I stopped taking my pain med. I've heard that that is more the norm, but it was weird for me. Anyways, just sharing. Hope everyone's having a happy Sunday!

No emotions yet. I do however, have the feeling of regret. I'm trying to figure out if this was all worth it to me. I'm sure it is due to the fact that I'm still nauseous and not holding down liquids much, so I feel pretty weak and miserable. Hopefully every day will get better for all of us and this will be short lived.

Have you talked to your nurse or surgeon to get some peace of mind on how your body is dealing? I can imagine how horrible you must be feeling.

Was your team able to prescribe anything for the nauseous feeling. I know the offered me a prescription for it when I went in for my allergic reaction. I hope you feel better soon.

i had my lap band on the 19th of July. The most severe gas pains lasted about 4 days. . I'm almost two,weeks post op and I feel fine. Believe me it will pass. When you feel the pain. Walk it off and take deep slow breaths. That really helped me.

So I quit taking pain meds Sat night. I feel fine for the most part other than I feel each sip go down and its a bit unpleasant. I'm sure my sip isnt too big because I am drinking out of the little cups they gave me. Which leads me to my questions: is everyone "free" sipping, or using the cups every 15 min? Anyone off meds n feeling the swallow or do you all feel fine? Oh, I did have a small hiatal hernia repaired with a couple stitches, so maybe that has something to do with it. Surgeon post op tomorrow so wil be discussing with her, but wanted to see how you all were fairing.

      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!!

      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?

      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... :(
