Had my sleeve yesterday!



Recommended Posts

It hurts my chest and stomach sometimes when I take a drink of something. Is this normal? I'm thinking this may be the gas but not sure

It's very normal! Getting up to walk will help the pain along with gas-X strips. Walk walk walk as I walked every two hours and it definitely helped. When my stomach would hurt after drinking I would just take smaller sips and it seems to have worked for me. I had my surgery 12/12/16, so I'm day 5 post-op. Good luck!

I've been using the strips but they're not helping as much as they do for others :( and I walk but it doesn't get rid of the pain either. I burp every now and then and it helps for a second but that's it. Does it hurt you guys when you get up to walk? For me, my stomach feels heavy and sore and then my biggest incision that my stomach came out of feels pulled at. It's bearable, but I stand for 5-10 minutes and need to sit back down again. I'm assuming that maybe I'm just still wore out from a major surgery but idk

Try something other than Water. I still can't drink plain water. I drink Propel, Vitamin water zero, Gatorade g2 and Powerade Zero. Typically I drink the Powerade mixed 50/50 with water.

Water has always been my favorite, so I'm not sure. It hurts even when I don't take a drink. I'm thinking it's the gas because it a gurgling, rumbling, burn type of feeling

      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.
