I had it all, dehydration and Constipation and still a little fresh off the table myself but I drank green tea and that helped. The more you walk the more the gas will "walk" its way out. Congrats and good luck.
Green tea is great...tough one to suggest because it is high in caffeine.... Decaffeinated if possible

Day 5 after sleeve, very tired, little energy, drinking 70+ oz. of Water a day. Premier shake is giving me the runs, taking 2 imodium to control that. Have lost 11.4 pounds so far. Also had my gallbladder removed at the same time as the sleeve. I'm planning to call my dr. tomorrow but does this sound like I'nm in the normal range of post op experiences? Thanks!

Did everyone leave their bandages on. I still have mine on. Underneath is steri strips. I'm not sure if I should let the air get to them or clean and change the bandages. Thoughts???

Surgeon told me to do exactly that
-may shower day after surgery and remove band aids (not to let shower spray directly onto streri-strips)
- steri-strips should be patted dry with a soft towel. Steri-strips will fall off in 5 to 6 days

My surgeon also told me same thing. Day after surgery shower then take off bandages keep steristrips on until they fall off. I’m post op day 7 now and I’ve only had about 1 fall off.

      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... :(
