So had my first full day post op yesterday. Wound pain was ok, thanks to drugs! Trapped gas was a challenge but frequent walking helped that.i managed to take in 1400 ml of various fluids need to get that to 2000ml today.

All in all better than I expected

The hospital or surgeons I've looked at here make you do liquid diet for two weeks prior. I rather yours. How are you coming along?

I think the UK and US offer differing advise especially around Protein pre and post operation. If in doubt id follow your own surgical team directions. This worked for me losing over 20lbs in the two weeks.

I won't lie there has been gas pain. BUT... If you walk and move around it calms straight away. It is starting to dissipate now. I've been sleeping in a recliner for last two nights that's helped, I struggled in bed. It's only for a few days so worth it. Overall I have had little pain. Luckily don't worry to much. It's all for the good!

Thanks so much. I have a hanging abdomen (I had lost 70 lbs already on my own)... I get gas from that and at times it's been excruciating, so that's been a fear of mine. Thank you so much. I just told my hub yesterday (as much I don't like Lazy boy recliners) we need one. Definitely will be getting one before. I will follow your advise. ????

It's not intestinal gas. It's the gas used to expand your abdomen during surgery so they have more room to operate. It usually only goes away with walking or moving. It's usually in your chest cavity and often goes to your shoulders. Walk, walk, walk...

Hi all. Just got home today from sleeve surgery yesterday. I'm trying to stay hydrated, but it is so hard. Gas/incision pain and pain everytime I take a sip of anything. How lobby does this last? What's the worst part before you get to the good side of the mountain?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
