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?

      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?

      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... :(
