Walk, walk and walk to help with gas. I don’t k ow how mobile you are but walk as much as you can. They had me walking that afternoon, the next day I must have walked for over an hour at one point, I made it a game. Every time I passed my room I’d take a sip of water. Made it easier. i can’t say it enough walk. When you get home. Do the same. Get up every 10 minutes and talk a walk around the house, keep doing that and I promise you won’t have gas. It worked for me,

Really. Cravings. Did you tell the doctor. You should have any cravings. There could be an issue with the sleeve. Like he didn’t cut enough of accurately. Talk to the doctor

It’s the ingredients. i had issues with the chewable vitamins, made me nauseous because it gets the the stomach so quickly in its real form opposed to a dissolve that dissolves in stomach and intestine its seems the shake is hitting your stomach too quick. ive been told that the multi vitamin is harsh on the stomach and you need to have food in your stomach, that’s why I went off chewable after 6 weeks. good luck

Why are u having issues with protein shakes? maybe it’s the kind, I had to try like 4 kinds, I couldn’t use ones with the fake sugar in it. I attached the one I use. how much longer till surgery cause I’m worried if you having issues now, you’ll be even worse after with Naseau. I had and still have at times Naseau issues post op. post op about 3 weeks in, i wails have issues if needed to eat, I would be Nauseous. I learned I needed to eat. The worst was the morning. Going 10 hours or so with no food, waking up, a normal person would have food digesting but with sleeve, we have nothing in there but gastric juices. So I woke up and have a few crackers, mornings still stink, but better as time went on, get a hold of this before you have the surgery good luck

Just know this Life-saving life-changing Youll never be the Sane as u were before ur goal when eating js to provide ur body with nutrition to sustain ur life. It will never be about fun anymore when I eat. If u choose cake over a meal, u will not be taking care of ur body. just remember this...if they tell u it’s time to get up and walk, get up and walk, walk, walk, walk, walk , walk. Drinking in the beginning will be a chore. Take a sip every 10 minutes. With me, I the second day, the day I went home. I walked around the ward, and every time I got to my room, I’d sip water then go back around again, I did that for like 45 minutes. When u get home. Get up every 15 and take stroll around the house, when u do, take a sip of water. be very methodical and you’ll be fine plan good,luck

That was HARD. Just make it a job. Keep the water next to you. And take a sip every 10 minutes or whatever you can tolerate. Just know that eating and drinking will be a chore for the next several months.

Gotta keep moving. Walk around the house. Get up every 15 minutes and walk around for 5 minutes. Keep doing that. You’ll feel better

No one told u that u have to walk a lot to feel better. I walked a lot the first day. The next day I must have walked over 3 hours on and off. Went home, felt perfect. Gotta walk after any surgery to get better

HI i am 1 yr post op. Let me tell you about any surgery, routine or not, every surgery is different, no matter routine. i stayed overnight. I followed the doctors orders. I was walking ny that afternoon. Walking is Important to release the air. The other thing was drinking fluids. I had the little robutussin medicine cups for my fluids. They would collect them to determine if I had drank enough. They also had a urine collector and measuring in toilet. I walked, drank and peed. Every hospital and doctor is different. So just use what you have read as a guideline but not what it is. You are not that big, not like my 600 lb life, they stay for days cause they can’t move or won’t and have other issues, I think you may stay longer cause if your diabetes. They probably want to make sure you sugar levels are good. Just follow the doctor and nurses instructions, that’s all u can control. good luck.

Wow what did the doc say?

Good luck. Just make sure you read a lot to truly understand the life altering of your body. Also remember that every situation is different, so something that one went through may not be applicable to you.

That’s terrible. I’m so sorry i eat 6 times a day breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner , snack my snacks are usually fruit or nuts it is hard. so you only lost 15 lbs?

Good luck to both of you. Make sure you do a ton of research. I think if I did, I probably wouldn’t have done it. just know you will need to take vitamins forever. And when they say protein is important, it is it you won’t be healthy and could get t sick. It gets hard to eat and think of protein constantly Just be very very prepared good luck

U need to take them religiously. I went off chewable 6 weeks after cause I had such nausea issues, much to the fight from the dietician. Anyway u can’t take multi and calcium at the same time...absorption. So I have a ritual..breakfast, then multi, lunch, calcium, dinner, multi, bed, calcium. U need food in stomach for multi or it makes it upset. I also take the b1 since I take normal multi and b12. I took iron for while, but not anymore. I get blood work every 6 months to check the liver, pancreas, etc. thats good you work form home, you’ll be fine then, just keep sipping in between calls. Just be careful not to sip too much and talk, you’ll get air in your belly. Youll be fine.

Comgrats... i had mind June 1. Went to work June 25. I had bad nausea issues port op. stock up.. well you should have a diet sheet with each stage and what you can eat. I wouldn’t go further then each stage, stages progress based on each person. I went slow, and actually backwards. Like I said Nausea. I had issues probably week 2 onto 3. My stomach couldn’t handle being empty of sorts. I didn’t eat or drink for like 4 days, had to go to Er for fluids. Got better. Food isnt gonna be the same as before. I suggest to go as each stage goes. Don’t rush it, an issue I have which is better is seeing too much food overwhelms me and upsets me. So buying food is different now, just go with what your body is telling you. Fluids are really important even more than food in the beginning. my nausea is better. If I want to sleep late, I can’t, at least I get up and eat something bad go back to bed. I just had back surgery and was incredibly nauseas cause I didn’t eat. I got over it and forced myself to eat. vitamins, etc. very important. If you don’t it could compromise your health. As for work. You know you can’t lift anything heavy for 6 weeks. Hope your job isn’t lifting. Good luck going back to work during early stages. I hope the job is flexible cause dinking your fluids isn’t a lunch break job. It’s an ALL day everyday event in the beginning. If you have any other questions, just ask remember every persons surgery is different
