I had mine on June 21st 2017 too! I'm having incredible gas pains. Are you still having gas pains?

Surgery is on Wednesday 28th. Can't keep my mind off it. Only thing I am not looking forward to is the gas pain. Sounds wimpy but that hurts worse than anything!

I have had surgery before and had a lot of gas pain , I was sleeved Wednesday at noon, prepared for gas pain so I bought a couple boxes of gas pain strips and haven't even had to open them. I was on pain meds in the hospital for the first day. I was up walking around the nurses section same night but slowly. Second day had one pill in the morning. I was discharged on Thursday by my own request because I had very little pain. Sunday nite I wasn't feeling too good so I took some zofran nausea sublingual tabs to stop some nausea, realizing I had forgotten my Protein Shakes so I drank one slowly, I felt a lot better in a couple hours. Its now Monday and I am still a little dizzy, so I am drinking my shake early. The marks on my stomach from surgery are so small and not much discomfort at all. I have five tiny puncture incision's and I have steristrips covering them, no stitches at all. If I had to do this five times just to get the results I want I would do it over and over. I have already lost about 16 lbs. I know its because I'm only drinking Protein shakes but I'm NOT feeling hungry, the first day I woke up at home I thought I was really hungry so I put aside my wanting to eat eggs and toast I ate SF Jello. I was stuffed, immediately not hungry and sticking to my diet. I can't predict what will happen in your surgery experience but mine has been minimal and I'm so happy I did this. I feel my energy coming back but I over did it Sunday and that's why I got nausea because I forgot my protein intake. No matter how good you feel you have to take it easy because your biggest wound is in your stomach and you can't see that just take it slow and you'll do great.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
