Hello, I had the sleeve done last week, all was well I got to go home from hospital 24 hours and no pain meds since... I lost 10lbs in one week I felt good i am on liquid only diet ....Last night 10pm I started having a pain under my right rib, then it went to my left rib and a little in my back....I went to bed and put a heating pad on for a while...then this am I woke up and pain was stil lthere....I took liquid tylenol and it went away about an hour....I bought some gas x strips and doc office said to try to take mag citrate to help clear me out.....so I just started that.......so far I don't feel sick at all or have a fever.... I just started the Protein shakes 2 days ago...not sure if they had something to do with it.....I been walking, cleaning etc and feel great all week besides that pain so I been in bed all day minus about an hour ...... I also been taking the vit bi, the gallstone pills and the axid pills.....other than that just Water, crytal light etc.... Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am there right now too Sleeved in May and been stalled since Sept........it's so frustrating but people are telling me that my journey is not over.....I want to believe them but it's hard sometimes when the scale says the same thing for months now....Hopefully a new year ahead will result in new loss... Lots of good luck your way!

Started journey beginning of last year at 235 in feb...May 20th surgery 205------then Sept 20th- I was 163 and have been there ever since- I can't lose any more weight- I really don't even feel like I was sleeved....I talked to my doctor pa and talked to nut and they both didn't seem like it was a problem......I told them I have to stop eating myself and that sometimes I can eat 6-8oz of chicken breast without a problem.....I only want to get to 135--- i am 5.3 but I have been bouncing back from 160-165 since sept usually at 163---I usually eat 1200 a day although I could eat more.....when I eat 800 or less I feel so fatigued.....I started drinking my protein shakes a day again usually one in am....so still getting 60 grams of protein a day...I still log all my food online and still haven't drank any soda since the beginning of the year or anything with sugar for that matter..........Not sure what my options are or if anyone has had this same problem...I almost lost as much weight before my surgery as I have after so kinda disapointed although I am thankful for this journey...Just trying to get pass this speed bump.....any advice is appreciated...thanks so much!

I always eat my Protein first----I notice if I eat too many carbs tha I am more hungry..I was exercising at a gym but my membership cancelled out- so I got a treadmill and was walking 3- 4 times a week on it in the am 30 mins or so but had to put that up for christmas to make my tree fit...so the last month I haven't got much exercise---although I have been very busy esp in dec....I'm thankful im not gaining..... I heard people say they can only eat 2 oz...I wish ---I got this restrictive surgery and was hoping for restriction but don't have much...not much bothers my sleeve....the only thing that bothers it a little is if I happen to drink something a little too early after eating...sometimes I can feel a little pressure so I will wait to drink my Water another 20 mins.... I usually drink 2- 32 oz jugs of water a day.......I have it with me at all time---sometimes I don't quite finish the second one but usually I don't have a problem getting my water in....... I guess I need to bump up the exercise after I get my tree down like I did before I was sleeved to lose weight..... Thanks for all your tips....I really appreciate it...

Yes I track daily with www.fitday.com and get around 1000-1200 daily ...usually closer to 1200----When I try to drop it to 800 like someone else suggested- I get so tired and don't feel like doing anything....Yes I still do Lo carb but have added more back- guess I could try to reduce them again...Getting tired of the same foods over and over though.....How many carbs do you eat a day?

WOW- that's about how I feel- the doc office said if I don't feel better by today come on in- but from what I am hearing it's usually nothing... Yes I take the axid - twice a day- doc started me on that pre op....

Did you hurt at first? I rreally didn't have any pain at first....? This was new at 8 days out?

I am only 9days out and on liquids only besides my Protein shaks and meds everyyhing else is clear fluids....

I tried the gas x strips and the doc suggested taking the mag citrate the bowel prp stuff to see if that would help but so far noting- I have been getting my walking in and doing alot around the house. my hub thinks that maybe I pulled a muscle? the pain is mostly in the center unless I take a deep breath or yell then I can feel it under my ribs as well.....
