This is my second day at home after surgery on Monday. The gas pains yesterday were terrible, but I took two 45 min or so walks outside as well as some inside and I feel much, much better today. The bloated feeling is down. I have started drinking in 3 oz plastic mouthwash cups which helps me remember to slow down with sips. Harder than I thought. Pain wise much improved. Took one dose of liquid lortab and a gas x strip today. I am not very tired yet. Glad I have two weeks off. Today I swallowed my meds slowly. I do have to take prevacid, another capsule and two b/p pills. My surgeon said ok, but I am still worried. Prevacid meltaways are 600 a month. So, no thank you. I am attracted to some foods post op that I have no business thinking about. Starting to see what head hunger post op is all about. At this point, I am looking at Fluid intake, some exercise and a lot of rest. Happy to be on the other side. I am 5 lbs down since Monday

I am burping a little less, still happens though

I have also cut way back... About an ounce then break

I am walking, walking but this gas pain is killing me. Atleast I can tolerate some crystal light. I am not gonna lie. I know it will pass, but it is miserable today. Dang.

Thanks everyone! Home tonight!

To finally be on the other side is awesome good luck.

Surgery went well yesterday. Only nausea was in the recovery room. Morphine PCA made it a lot easier. Had leak test this am, tasted like how lemon pledge smells. Not gritty though. Thinking of all the great ppl here getting sleeved today. Best of luck. Jello for lunch, yeah!

No gas pains, some growling going on. I am surprised how comfortable I am. I would say, nothing to worry about. My recovery so far has exceeded my initial fears and expectations. All the best to you
