Gas pains! Omg the first 48 hrs were the worst. If anyone out there is in the hospital tonight going through this, the best thing you can do to get rid of the gas is to walk. The first wind is divine relief, lol.

The gas pain really had me second guessing my decision, but almost 72 hours post-op, I can say it ain't so bad. I don't feel hungry. In fact, I couldn't finish a Jello cup in half an hour.

Hey all i was the 13th of may and all done...just starting to feel human...how did every ones ops go..what you eating.....how do you feel.

I was band to bypass. There was heaps of scaring and I was lucky my surgeon was good enough to go ahead.

It took eight hours..went in to theatre at 7.30 am and was shocked when I woke up at 4 pm in recovery.. Doctor was complaining I broke his back...bless him poor thing.

Yep I'm hearing you...standing and walking does ease the pain. Sometimes you just got to find the courage to get your bum outa that bed tho..

What type of Protein are ypu guys getting in? Like if yoyr do a shake whats in it? I have been sippinh on water' date=' apple juice and a tiny bit of Protein clear liquid which has like 8 g per 2 ounces.. im a little afraid to add stuff..[/quote']

I'm mixing 2 scoops of unjury Protein powder (unflavored) with 16 oz of crystal light and sipping on that throughout the day. I also have SF Jello with added protein. It is not easy to take all of that in in one day. I'm only 3 days post op so I'm too afraid to test the limits of my pouch. Not hungry at all though.

Omg, I still have gas pains. It's terrible. I am out and about with the hubby today. In gonna walk a little in the mall. Sounds crazy but need this gas gone!! I also used a heating pad on my back/stomach which helps with the gas pains. Good luck everyone.

Surgery date: May 14, 2013

Agreed. The gas is the worst. Mine is usually in my lower back. How long does it take to get rid of the gas?

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
