I was sleeved on the 16th by Dr. Maliapur at Huntsville hospital. Yesterday was by far the worst day yet. I can't seem to get this gas to leave my body and I've tried everything! Hope you all are doing well!

I took my liquid pain med the day I came home and the next day. I vomited a lot and needed it after that. But I haven't needed any since very early yesterday morning. I've felt so tired and sluggish until I had some Powerade zero. It's been my absolute life saver! Got out of the house today and have felt better. Hope you feel better soon!

Hey there. The best thing that you can do is walk and keep your body moving. It helps alot with the gas. I have been walking for about an hour a day and I haven't had alot of gas pain

Def be up and moving. I'm up walking a lot too, not much gas pain at all. Just if I oversip liquid. Gas x dissolvable strips are awesome too! Hope you feel better soon!

I've literally done nothing but walk. I did 60 laps in the hospital, done 0.5 miles of walking outside of the normal walking everyday and this gas is just super stubborn and won't go any where. Other than the gas I'm doing ok. Mild incision pains, and sore stomach but luckily nothing major yet :-)

Try the gas x strips. Those help

Hey, ive been doing better than expected. Im pretty soar around my incisions, especially my belly button and the one to the left. I didnt have alot of gas pains but I do walk and burp alot. I just ate some sf pudding and it went down w/ no problem. I dint have any pain meds today, so im hoping that was the end of that. I did take some liquid Tylenol due to a headache. Liquid meds are horrible!!

I hope everything is going well for you.

Hey I've lost 82 pounds. I went from a size 26 pants and 3x shirts to a 16 pants and xl Juniors shirt. I agree with you. My life has changed and totally graceful. I got to start taking my Vitamins I have been forgetting.

I'm terrible about my Vitamins too :(. I've been trying to do better, esp since losing so much hair. Glad to hear from you.

        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
