Who all is this group open to? I had the Sleeve done.

@"x0CheekzVSG" Thank you for the different view of the situation. You are so right. I can enjoy myself next when I'm healthier and happier. Thanks again, you really helped with the tears.

Today is a hard day for me since it's Easter and I don't have the mindset to be around food yet. I just want to stay home and watch movies.

I'm 4 days Post-op and it's Easter. I don't even want to go to any of the family functions because I don't have a strong Mind yet. Today is a rough day for me.

What did you mix with the fake crab?

You and I were sleeved the same day. Today I was able to get 17 oz of water and half of a Protein shake. I'm just trying to take it day by day and so a little more then the day before. Per my Dr I can't start vitamins until tomorrow. You are going to get there.

Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Today I had: 17 oz Water 1/2 a bottle of a Premier shake 1/2 can of broth The gas pains have come and gone through out the day, but they weren't bad enough for me to take anything for it. Ooh and I got 2871 steps on my fitbit. Congrats to everyone sticking to the Pre-op and Post-op plans.

Every surgeon is different, there is a surgeon in my area that is much less conservative than mine as far as the post op diet. Ithink I should be able to start my vitamins by day 2 or 3 post op and they are chewable. You were right it is too early for the puree. IDK what I was thinking. But I did look over my paperwork and I'm suppose to start my vitamins tomorrow. Thanks for keeping me in check.

Anyone having a weird metal like taste in their mouth. Today has been a good day, but this taste is driving me batty.

I did grits once with a little unflavored Protein powder and shredded cheese. Too many carbs for me. I also did oatmeal once or twice. They were a little better since I make my oatmeal from scratch. Here's some recommendations from my program. Would you be willing to email this to me?

I'm still wearing my Nausea patch too. I'm scared to take it off.

Today's Journey for Me 15 oz of Water 2 Popsicles Drank not even half of my Campbell's soup. Walked 2x for 20 min each Only took Gasx once I haven't started on my vitamins yet. My Dr said to try tomorrow. So tomorrow will be day 3, so I will try the pureed food. We shall see.

While I was in the hospital the nurse would give me something for the gas and it would go away. There a few times I tried to avoid the med and just walk it out, but that didn't help me what so ever. Finally yesterday when I was waiting to be discharged I asked the nurse what meds she was giving me for the gas and she showed me it was Infants Gas Relief drops. I was like no way. So I mentioned I would have my husband stop and get me some. So why did my nurse tell me that they are suppose to throw your meds away after just one dose. I was like WTH! She said that she didn't see the problem in giving me the Gasx as long as I didn't tell anyone. I know there were at least 4 times that I was given this med, so 3 of those bottles with stuff still in them hit the trash. And it's a 1oz bottle and I only take 0.6ml of it. That made me so mad that either our insurance companies or ourselves are paying for the hospital stay and they don't even give us the option of keeping any unused meds. Just bad!

I'm 2 days Post-op and doing fine. My biggest problem is the gas build up. I took some Gas-X before bed last night and slept fine for a while and then I was up. Yesterday I only got down about 20 oz of liquids. Hopefully today I will do better. Hadn't wanted real food until I made Toast and Jelly for my daughter this morning. I wanted a bite of toast so bad, but I just imagined it would feel like the gas so I declined. How's everyone else doing Post-op?

I'll be one.

My surgery was yesterday the 1st of April and all went well beside the gas trapped in my chest. As of night now 2 Apr, 2:20 pm I'm still at the surgical center waiting on my Dr. to discharge me. Whooppee!

For me the gas pain felt like heavy pressure between my rib cage above my stomach with sharp pain when I would breath. Not fun!!

So far my hospital staff has been the greatest. they gave me broth and jello yesterday but I had no desire to eat. I finally ate some of my Jello this morning after my walk. I don't know if other facilities make you walk, but mine does. Nothing fast or long. Just whatever you can handle.

I had my surgery 1 April and I had the worst pain. I was regretting my WLS decision. My Dr. came by to check on me and I told him about the pain. He explained it was Gas. I was like Yeah Right. The nurse gave me some Gas-X and about 30 minutes it was gone. I was truly amazed that Gas could hurt so bad. Now if I drink to much water I get that feeling back a little and then I start to think about when was the last dose of GasX. After I get the next dose, I'm good. I hope this helps.

Best of luck and you are in my prayers.

I have that picture of Never Give up at work. I love it. I'm happy you didn't have any gas. Mine has returned and I had to ask for my Gasx. Ooh well, at least it will go away soon.

Had mine done today and my only complaint was the gas trapped in my chest. It HURT so bad, but finally it went away. Now my abs just feel like they ate sore from sit-ups. I hope it that's the most of my discomfort. I'm wishing everyone the best.
