No pain really I just get this gas pain or feels like heartburn but it’s getting better everyday. I’ve been taking Gax X it helps so much. As of today I’ve lost 14lbs so far. 1 week check up tomorrow super excited for my diet to advance How are you feeling?

Hi! New to the site (glad I found it). I just had surgery yesterday 4/24/18. Other than being sore, I'm not doing bad but can't handle the pain meds, so tylenol it is. But I'm having I guess spasms. they come and go at all hours. I thought it may be gas still in my stomach but my doctor said it wasn't. Has anyone else had this happen?

i received surgery on Monday, April 23rd. two days post op and i'm just now trying my Premier Protein shake for dinner to see how well my stomach takes to it. i was advised to have a chewable Multivitamin 2 times daily and a B12, and to start the Calcium + D, 6 weeks post op. i feel like i am doing okay, i'm just concerned on not getting enough fluids although i am trying very hard. i did have a hernia repair while they were doing my surgery so i'm not sure if that has anything to do with some of the pains i am having. every sip of Water is not comfortable to take down. also not sure if it's normal for my stomach to be growling at me, but not actually feeling like i'm starving. this morning i took my meds and Vitamins and threw them up right after, which hasn't happened yet.

I am almost a week out of surgery and I’m still having trouble with Protein and my hydrating liquids. I ended up going to the emergency room yesterday because I felt like I wasn’t getting enough fluids and Proteins, and if I drink more than about a tablespoon or two I get really bad heartburn and gas. The gurgling in the stomach Is also annoying. After a bunch of tests, everything seems to be OK, and I received some IV fluids before coming home last night. My surgeon told me not to worry as much about meeting the full amount and just to do what I’m able to do. Everybody handles the surgery differently. I had a sleeve gastrectomy

I still get a lot of gas building up and was told by the surgeon to take something like Gas-X

Hi! I had my surgery April 9th. I now mix GENEPRO’s unflavored Protein Powder in with my applesauce. Let me know how to keep in touch! I’m so confused by all the Vitamin stuff too still!

Mostly just an introduction: Had my sleeve done yesterday (4/25) and just got home from the clinic this morning.

I basically came home and feel asleep for four hours as I had interrupted sleep all night (My o2 levels were fine when I was awake but went boarderline when fell asleep).

Now trying to get all the fluids down and go on regular walks. Looking at what I left for the day and my old brain says totally easy. So working thru that.

Preop diet I lost almost 20 lbs. which kinda floored me.

First couple of days for me were very similar lots of rumbling and stomach cramps/spasms usually when I was empty. Focus on getting your fluids in nice and slow but consistently. I didn't do any Protein for an entire week just broths and strained chicken Soup and lots of Water and sugarfree ice pops (Small sips constantly don't forget).

Good luck hope you are doing better by now.

I had surgery on 4/24. Still get gas pains although I get up and walk every hour. Made a schedule to ensure I’m getting Protein, fluids, take multivitamin, etc. not taking any pain meds because pain is tolerable .

How are all you Early April sleepers doing??? I am feeling great my body feels much better than before (less knee and backpain) and my clothing is getting nice and baggy which makes me feel good lol. I hope everyone is loosing the weight, I started solids a little earlier than I expected and have no issues usually my meals are 3-4oz which sounds like a Little but dammit I get full lol ive learned to take breaks/pauses when eating as to not overdue it, Best part of the sleeve is your meals last all day!!! I eat and within 2 hours I am ready to eat again so its a win win still taste great, You get full and get to eat more often lol The hardest thing for me to overcome is not drinking Water with my meals bad habit and hard to break when your fixated on drinking something...

Anyways hope everyone checks in...
