When I was at the doctor yesterday they told me that is the key to make the gas pain leave. They told me I must walk it out and push through. I'm so happy you are doing so well.

I commend you for starting early. Not me I wont be starting a day earlier then I have to. Lol. I had my final appointment today and my surgeon told me the longer you do it the better it is. He suggested I do a full 2 weeks if I can 🤪

sorry Linda . I get confused with this site - doesn’t take much to confuse me !

Hello September Sleevers!! Had my surgery yesterday. Though I am far from an expert I want to stress a few points. When your reading comments from veteran sleevers and you find a pattern of the same responses do them. I have read walk walk walk to help with the gas pain. It helped A LOT. Also, sip sip sip ... incredible useful sipping away on clear fluids. Walking even helped my pain where the small incision was. If your in pain don't try to be tough and bare through it. Stay ahead of the pain. Ice packs ... feels so good. It's almost 24 hours since I was rolled off to surgery. And all those repeated advice points helped alot. I know it differs from person to person. I hope this helps to ease some anxiety for those who are waiting.

I never thought I would appreciate being on the loser bench. Lost 5 lbs since surgery. 2 days out and still doing well. I meet my Protein goal, my liquids, my walking, and used the incentive spirometer. I'm managing my pain with ice packs.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
