It has been 6 days since surgery. The pain is slowly but surely going away. My biggest issue is drinking and Protein. I do not like the taste of any of the protein I bought lol. The nectar is really good but it leaves this horrible after taste in my mouth, ugh! Still sleeping in recliner, but I plan on moving to my bed this week. Gas is not as bad, just annoying if anything. Had an emotional breakdown today, all I wanted was a slice of pizza and I couldn't have it. It was hard but my family was great and they ate away from me and made sure the kitchen was clear of pizza when they finished. I am going to seek out other protein supplements gotta find something that works. Oh and I am down 16 lbs since surgery date

Have you tried the Bariatric Advantage or Unjury Protein Shakes? I ordered them online and they really are good. Just s thought. Sounds like you have a very supportive family!

I recommend chicken flavored Unjury. It is very good for a warm cup of of broth. It definitely provides a break from all of the sweet Protein Shakes.< /p>

Has anyone found that massaging your belly helps move the gas?

I haven't really tried that. For me walking and laying on my side with knees tucked up works really well.

Massags work but I'm going to try your method too.

Back in hospital. After several days of trying to deal with what I thought was just your average pain after surgery I finally gave in and went to the er. Got admitted yesterday. So far cat scans upper gi X-rays, and much more to come. Today is a procedure to add a drain and possibly feeding tube. Will go from there and see if that resolves the issue. There is a leak into the remnant stomach and possibly fissures?? Even after all this I do not regret what I have done. I hope things start looking better soon
