Everything went good. Just very sore. My back kills! Idk what they did to me.

Hang in there, maybe gas in some odd areas...I'm sure you've heard no less than 5,756 time but walk walk walk! Hope things improve today!

Have they done an upper GI/Barium Swallow to check for a leak or stricture? I'm so sorry you are having it so rough! Big hugs!

Yes my upper Gi looked good. Hopefully this burping and bloating will go away. Anybody else have this problem?

A few things I had in the hospital and I'm not sure what they are giving you but I had little nausea(one we figured paint meds out) and little issues with burping etc...I was on Simethicone(generic gas meds they wouldn't allow me to use the GasX strips everyone told me to bring) I was also on IV meds for my GERD(Protonix) and they had me on a Nausea patch behind my ear, when I was on the heavy pain meds the first day and super sick I was given IV meds to stop that but I forget the name, but it knocked me out cold lol! Maybe there is something they can give you to try to ease your symptoms...could it possibly be your pain meds?

The burping can also just be some of the gas that's trapped, are you up and walking a lot?

I'm out of the hospital now. Had a couple spoons of broth. I'm scared to swallow my pain meds so I'm trying to deal without. I just do not see how I will get all my Protein and Water in. I can only sip a little then stop. I also can't lay down. When I do it feels like everything is coming back up! Ugh I'm in the regret phase right now!

I am feeling better. Still bloated and my fluids gurgle as they go down but I'm getting used to it. Can't wait until all the air is out.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
