It will get better. Keep sipping on liquids per your doctor's orders and walk walk walk. You'll regain your strength eventually. Use the pain meds your doctor prescribed as needed. It took me about 2 weeks before I didn't need them anymore.

I was sleeved on the 5th, lots of discomfort. I have been walking and sipping, I guess it is helping I still feel like I was hit by a freight train as well. I have this pain that comes and goes between my breasts, does anyone else have this issue?

I get that pain too, it feels much better when I finally burp. Must just be gas.

I was sleeved on the 8th. Have a lot of what I would call gas pain. But, it still HURTS! Sipping every 3 minutes and walking every hour. Hope it gets better soon. The gas is the worst part of this! When can you drink normal amounts vs. sips?

I was sleeved on 11/2 and feel so good I have to stop myself from doing too much. Each day gets better. Walk, do knee bends if you can. I used a heating pad on my stomach and it really helped break up the gas. I am on puréed food noe - they let me start early and I just have to remind myself to go slowly. Just breath, take the meds and move around. You will come to feel normal soon!

I was sleeved on 11/6 doctor said 4 more weeks of liquid but will revisit in 2 weeks. Maybe a cheat on mushy for turkey day. Going back to the gym on Monday. The worst part is burping and hiccups they do hurt. I did ask why so long on liquids he said they have had excellent results with the sleeve healing. So who is it for me to second guess. Good luck everyone thoughts and prayers to you all.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
