I'm 2 days pot op. The gas pain is real, guys. My incision sites are fine, just slightly painful. I'm trying my best to get the gas out, but I'm so lethargic, I can only stand for a few minutes at a time. Tomorrow I'm supposed to start Protein, so wish me luck. I'm having a hard time getting in my clear fluids as it is.

I haven't weighed myself yet, our scale is up stairs and I'm no ready to take on steps yet.

I do wish you luck. Do gas x or Prilosec help with the gas? Feel better!

I'm 4 days post op and the gas pains are no joke. They've eased up so and Gas X helps a little. Walking does help some also. I've been trying to grasp that it's going to take time to get through.

I'm also scheduled for 5/30. I've been on pre-op diet for 6 days. Not too bad.

I have a couple friends who have had the sleeve and they are enjoying life to the fullest and have been for a few months! I wouldn't think the first year is hell unless you have complications. Maybe the first month though. You'll see here that everyone is so different. Some are hungry some have to force themselves to eat.
I'm going the 22 and understand that fear of the unknown. I guess we just have to dive in and deal with what comes. Good luck.



Thank you for easing my anxiety. It went ok. Just a heads up, there might be a lot of pain if a lot of air gets trapped in there. It doesn't happen to everyone but I wish someone had told me about it ahead of time.
I wish you the best of luck tomorrow! Take care

Happy you're on the other side!! I'm assuming I'll have that pain but hoping I don't. Thank you!

I am 4 days post op and had a lot of pain and nausea. I had to stay in the hospital 3 days because I wasn't passing gas and I wasnt keeping anything down. Feeling much better now. I have found sugarfree popsicle, ativan, liquid tyenol and gas x chewebles to be my new best friends.

Hope you are feeling better! It is so interesting how it affects each of us differently. I initially took the capsule tylenlols, but switched to liquid and it went down so smoothly. Hang in there, it does get better!

I had the surgery done on May 8th, so far I feel great, but today (at 2 weeks out) I started with a very sharp pain at biggest incision site on left when I bend down! Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this or should I be worried...my incisions are healed up nicely with no redness or warmth externally

IMO...if u continue​ with this pain, it changes into something else, radiates to another location, or your abdomen becomes firm and/or painful, get medical attention-

      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? 🤷‍♀️
