This gas pressure will be the death of me!



Recommended Posts

4 days post op and still have terrible gas pressure when I eat. So uncomfortable. Makes me not want to eat. I am getting in about 200 calories and 26 grams of Protein. Too weak to walk. Using gas x stripes...

It gets a little better every day but you really NEED to walk. Even short slow walks will help. I promise it will make you feel better.

Walking definitely helps. What are you eating? My doctor has me on Protein drinks for three weeks post-op, and has me sipping about half an ounce every 5-10 minutes. Slow going. :-/

I am on 2 Calcium pills, one milti Vitamin, 2 Unjury shakes (I can't handle those anymore) Protein Soup and Protein Drinks which are nasty. Can't handle those either.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
