want2bfit 2 Posted July 17, 2012 Well it is now official I was sleeved this morning at 7:30. All things considered I'm feeling really good. Everyone is right about the walking it really does help. When I first woke up I had more discomfort than I expected but it was mostly from the trapped air in the upper abdominal area. The incisions actually don't hurt too bad but off course I am still on pain meds but only half a dose every 4 hours. I also had a hiatal hernia repair and it sounds like a lot of the tightness/soreness is related to that. Thank you everyone for your prayers, kind thoughts and well wishes. I've learned a lot of valuable information from all of you that is going to make this journey so much more Enlightened and rewarding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NuStartInTx 31 Posted July 17, 2012 I am traveling tomorrow but I do t want to carry the big tub of Protein powder. Anyone ever travel without the ind packets??? I travel for work and had the same problem. First I tried taking the ready mades - they were so heavy, so now I get the ziplock snack sized bags and pre measure each serving (two scoops per bag). Then I put all the snack bags into a larger baggie and seal it. Light, small and ready to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NuStartInTx 31 Posted July 17, 2012 Thanks! I just hope airport security doesn't give me a hard time with baggies of white powder?!!! That could make a very bad morning!!!!! I take different flavors. Choc, banana, etc. so different colors and I also keep a shaker bottle in my bag, all contributing evidence.....no problems so far, even when I travel to the Middle Est! 1 Lovemeifyoucan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have not been passing gas or burping. I just feel like my insides are fire. I felt the same way yesterday until I started walking. Everything feels better when I'm up. I really hope you feel better soon :-). Keep your chin up! 1 KS Fort Worth reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
