I was sleeved on Dec 10 2013 I am two days out and have lots of gas pains!!! Other than the gas pains everything is going well!!! I am having troubles with getting in enough fluids I can only get down 17 ounces of fluids a day!! Tonight was the first time I ate 1 ounce of scrambles eggs felt very full!!! It's a little hard for me to drink Water or anything!!! Stomach is still a bit achy and swollen. Everyday it gets better!!! Tomorrow I will try cream of wheat:) looking forward!! Any questions I am more than happy to answer!!

Seems a little soon to be eating eggs and hot Cereal. I was sleeved the 9th and can't do purée type foods until week two. And I'm glad bc I have a hard enough time staying hydrated. You doctor said It was ok to eat those things this soon? Just remember your tiny pouch is still healing

I know I felt that I should eat either, but my nurse called me and told me I should be eating 3 small meals!!! I only took 3 bites and I actually feel a bit sick now!!! I am not even drinking much yet!!! I won't be eating until week 2 no matter what the nurse said!!!

Ashley do you have lots if gas pains!!! I have so much it hurts so bad!!! I'm taking gasx

Yeah gas has been hurtin a lot but I feel less and less bloated each day. Walk around to keep it moving through. Warm liquids will also help with the gas pain. I've been warming up broth and tea for that. Is stick to liquids if I were you. I've been doing clears and workin in a little Protein Shake daily. Next week will be mainly purée foods and Protein Shakes.

Glad to help. One more tip: use a heat pack on your abdomen for gas pain.... It's heavenly. Rest up!
