JG407 4 Posted May 30, 2011 Congrats Hollie!! This is the first day (post op day 4) that I'm feeling a little morelos myself. I was having issues taking any liquid in at the hospital so they kept me an extra night so I didn't come home until yesterday afternoon. The gas is absolutely the worst but they said just walk as much as possible and it will help. One good thing is that I've lost almost 6 lbs since surgery day but its probably bc I wasn't taking anything in except liquids in am IV. GLAD YOU ARE FEELING BETTER! 6 weeks (heck probably 6 days) from now, we will have forgotten the bad and be focusing on the amazing progress we are making towards being the best version of ourselves we can be.

Jax 2 Posted May 30, 2011 Gas-ex strips worked fine when I had my band surgery and of course, walking. I hope this works with my VSG surgery too! Glad you are doing so good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weho 103 Posted May 30, 2011 Welcome to this side of the adventure. Hope the gas resolves quickly. Like Meggie said, get some good rest and don't over do it. You will be feeling well very quickly and it will be easy to over estimate your energy levels. But no worries, you will do great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
