I hope you are feeling better and the gas pain has resolved. I didn't have any pain when I was sleeved but I did with my cholecystectomy. That lasted a couple of days IIRC.

I came home this evening from ha ing surgery on Monday 10/23. I still have a lot of gas pain and no desire to eat or drink. How long does this last? I am up walking, took a nice warm shower that felt awesome. I just really need to get this gas out.

I’ve been home about three hours and am in a significant discomfort. Post Op has not been a breeze for me at all. Gas pains mostly collected under my breasts and in the left shoulder. Walking certainly helps and eases heartburn too.

I have very little desire to drink as well. Taking Panadol tablets is really hard cause I feel so full I’m scared to vomit. I was lucky I haven’t had to vomit in the hospital but fear I may need to now at home.

Sitting and laying down is pretty uncomfortable. Haven’t found a great way around either especially when I just want to sleep the pain away haha.

How are you going??

Try to walk as much as you can and also use a spirometer as you will need to get the anesthesia meds out of your system. I was in discomfort for a while as I thought that is how I'm supposed to feel. Laying down will be more discomfort as you sutures will be pulling apart as you lay. If you have a recliner take advantage. I don't have a recliner but my mom prep my bed up with pillows so that I wasn't laying flat on my back. Be positive, think about the big picture and the reason why you took this step and you will manage and pull through [emoji4]

      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?

      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... :(
