I was sleeved oct 30th' date='came home yesterday,the gas is a KILLER!!!!not getting liquids down so well:-([/quote']

MM, the gas is a mess. Hang in there. Do you have some gas-x strips? I had to use them for a few days and they really helped. It's really hard to drink with that chest pain.

Don't weigh yourself for at least 2 weeks. It'll take a few days /a week to shed that extra iv weight from the hospital. Keep drinking, and sleep as much as you need to so you can heal. I had my surgery October 2nd and I promise it gets better fast!

I was sleeved on Oct 7. Vetniemeer took the words right out of my mouth. The chest pain is lessened with walking and for me the strips were a huge help.

I think it's like a surgery high- you come down off of it a few days later and you're super exhausted. Don't push yourself. Rest but walk a couple laps around the house here and there.

Hang in there. Rest because your abdominal muscles need to bind back together. However balance this with sitting and walking so all the gads they put inside the body moves out easier. Remember to feed and hydrate well. I was sleeved in Oct 29 and taking this new life one day at a time. Tummy hurts much when I forget to rest in the afternoon for a few hours. I am walking around the house, sitting and resting. It helps a lot. Do not over do it. Listen to your body. Blessings

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
