Hi everyone,

I am 5 days post op and my belly hurts still I am not sure if it is just gas and air or what- I am on full liquids right now and trying to get all my liquids-yesterday was my first full day back at home and I did okay with it i know I didnt get in the full 64 oz- I drank a vanilla Protein Shake yesterday morning and my stomach was just bubbling does that mean i'm lactose intolerant? I haven't had any nausea though I ordered the powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein today though so that way I can add the unflavored to Jello and crystal lite and such- I guess I just thought this was going to be easier for me and I feel like I am having such a hard time getting in the liquids and protein I need . thanks for listening

Hey Peggy, congrats on getting your sleeve. A lot of us struggle with getting in fluids and Protein the first couple of weeks post-op so you are not alone. Your stomach is still super swollen, and your body is still processing everything. Lactose intolerance usually involves vomiting or diarrhea with severe cramping at least those were my symptoms. Horrid gas is typically a side effect of lactose intolerance as well.

Hang in there, focus on your Fluid intake, and rest when your body tells you to rest.
