Hello, congratulations on your surgery. What helped me was a heating pad, I placed it on my chest, shoulders and tummy. Took pain meds in liquid form of course, lasted on my left and that helped me. Good luck. It will go away and get better, every day will be better.

Keep walking as much as you can, and get “gas-x” strips... that will help out.. wishing you a speedy recovery pal..

Congrats ! I had surgery 12/19. Today is the first day I felt relief. I walked a lot and tried GasX . I felt the walking helped more. GasX didn’t do much for me.

Good to know I’m not odd. I have to walk up/down stairs to restroom. So quite a bit of walking.

Thanks!

Today for me has been a great day. Woke up better , got more liquid in. Protein didn’t do will I will try a different flavor. Sort of got heart burn with chocolate. Still was really good. TMI - had a BM . A little constipated probably from all the pain meds at the hospital. Is it bad to push when you have to go. I’m concerned. Tried not to but sort of had too. Sorry for the details .

Congratulations! I’m day 3 post op and the best advice I can offer is to get up and walk around. It has helped with the gas and bloating. Also TMI, still waiting on a BM. Started taking Myrolax this morning. Hopefully that will get things moving.

Congrats! Waiting on a BM here too. Yes likely all the opiates if straining is causing pain I would worry

Not taking anything except what already rx as far as meds/diet. Walking and time I think will work.

My gas was horrendous and I couldn't release it. The combination of walking and mylicon drops began to help after a few hours. Its most painful in the first day or two, I'm now at day 5 and it only occurs if i take too big a sip.

Balance and rest - lots of it :-) I tend to be a go go go person

(walking for sure and some hh activity- making sure I rest up to heal up. )

      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
