I dont know which surgery you had. I had the VSG and to be honest I came home the day after my surgery and I didnt have any pain to speak of.

Which surgery did you have?

I’m sorry you’re in pain!! Take some meds! Or ask your nurse if you are inpatient! Walking helped me get rid of that uncomfortable gassy feeling. Hang tight! It gets better!!

You gotta stay hydrated. Put some flavored powder like Crystal Lite in it, it comes in various flavors. I buy the sugar free generic Kroger brand of peach tea and it's wonderful stuff, otherwise I cannot stomach plain Water and wouldn't drink enough. I drink 12 8-0z glasses a day.

I have had many surgery’s in my day and found gas to be the most uncomfortable part. Gas can be super Painful and the best thing is to try to move around and work it out.

pain meds are helpful, but remember they also slow down your digestive system so they are the devil when it comes to Constipation so take them when you need them but try to get rid of them as soon as you can. Walk around and move that gas out.

incisional pain gets is positional so grab a pillow or blanket to prop up around yourself to get comfy.
little sips of Water and don’t use a straw!!

remember this is only temporary and soon it will all be a memory :)

Gas pain - WALK WALK WALK.... If you have that sharp pain in your upper chest when you swallow - You know, the one that makes you think you made a HUGE mistake? - That lasted more or less about a week for me. Every day I noticed it got a bit better and then just went away. Keep sipping and power through it if you can.

I finally stopped hurting at day 7. It was like a miracle and I could drink water—more than just tiny sips. I don’t know what happened. But day 6 was my worst for pain. Like others said, walk and try some gas x.

      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
