Yeah I have been walking a lot, using gas x and a heating pad. So far the warm shower and heating pad seem to help the best. My pain meds don’t help much

Most of my gas was through burping! Didn’treally expect that. Thought it would come the other way! Lol.

Congratulations on getting to the other side! Mine went pretty smoothly yesterday but I agree, the gas was worst part. Feeling a little too god after pain meds I also ended up drinking too much broth and Water and now I know they mean by filling up your sleeve too fast! Very painful. I found walking while circling or flapping your arms helped the gas too.

Hang in there everybody it should keep getting better from here

The gas pain lasted about 2 weeks for me and I walked a ton (miles a day even in the hospital). The problem with it is that it's in your abdomen and chest, not in your digestive system so GasX won't help with that type of gas. I used a heating pad as well and that did help a little. Luckily the worst is over in a couple days and then the rest will slowly dissipate and you'll feel better and less swollen.

Glad everyone seems to be doing well. The first couple of weeks are tough, but it does get better and starting to see some weight loss helps with that (due to surgery fluids, swelling, etc you may not notice much of a change on the scale at first).

I'm so glad this has been noted many times. It's good to understand going in that results won't show for a bit and to not lose hope. :)

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
