My tummy is also talking to me! Its worse when I sit or lay down. Bubbles and gas parade going up in there. I will also be calling my Dr tomorrow. Question has anyone sneezed and it cause major pain? I felt like it popped my tummy it was horrible. It happened earlier today and ever since my tummy has been hurting. Another thing I will telling Dr tomorrow when I call, just would like to hear from you guys. TIA

How long did you have gas issues postop? Im on day 3 postop and just wondering if this feeling goes away in a week or months? Im walking every couple hours and hardly pass any gas. My yummy is so bubbly when I lay down and I feel it in my shoulders too.

Oh man your right! I forgot about no straw rule. Geez so much to remember lol Thanks for reminder guys.

Wow thanks for the info mysleeveid...very helpful! Im gonna try the 1oz every 15mins hoping that helps. Yea I think I may be sipping too much air too gonna use a straw. Now the apple juice was it regular apple juice? TIA

Thanks everyone! Yea Im hoping it doesnt last long.

Im finally on the postop team. Had surg on 4/16, so Im 3 days postop. First day waa ruff, but each day gets easier. Little less pain, more soreness and crampy than anything. Wish I could pass this gas...and Im walking to help. Any suggestions how u pass gas?

Ok so whats this jiggle u speak of ??? lol after u drink u shake a little or something?

Surprisingly enough Ive had a BM the day after surg. I am also peeing more than Im drinking. Dr said thats normal. Omg I drank 2 oz of Protein and got full. Trying to sip Water all day is a challenge since Im so use to downing a 16oz bottle. What are u guys doing to pass gas, I think Ive only passed a handful of times and burped only once. Im walking too so Idk.

Omg I cant believe the day is almost here! Wednesday morning 4/16 @ 5:30am I will be in the hospital getting ready to start a new chapter in my life. BariatricPal community has been so helpful and I thank everyone for posting their knowledge, feelings and experiences on here.

Hi Bluesea, The headaches stopped on day 3 thank god. I will be doing day 5 of liquids tomorrow (Saturday). I hope the weekend flys lol. Best wishes on ur wls on the 16th!

I am on day 5 of liquids, first 2 days I had a slight headache...it gets easier as the days progress. My preop diet is for 1 week but I started a day early. Surg date 4/16. GL on ur wls journey!

Yea mine is 10 days liquids post op then soft foods gradually.

On my 7th day of liquid diet, day before surgery I can only have clear liquid Protein. Would like to hear suggestions of what brand u drank on this day?

Start over again and push forward! You will be fine. Stay focused and you will succeed! I'm on day 4 of liquids and its hard I won't lie, but it gets easier as the days progress. Best wishes on your journey!
