Hi all, my very first post! Found this forum while doing some online research for the sleeve, have been getting so much useful information. I was sleeved on February 3rd, so far so good. Day 2 was by far the worst due to nausea, but that is all over now. I am able to get most of my liquids in, Protein Shakes, even some sf Jello. Everyday I feel a bit better, which is great. But I am still so bloated. I know they fill the abdomen with air for laparoscopic surgery and I am only a few days out, but when did you feel this subsided for you? Honestly, I look like I am pregnant again! I asked the dr about gas x but he said just try walking?

Thanks!

Walking is a great idea. I was really bloated for quite a while. Seems like a month or so. I also felt that I looked pregnant. It went away on its own. :-)

The gas pain was pretty bad for me post op, but it pretty much got better after several weeks. Just hang in there, it will get better!

I was sleeved on the 5th of February. The bulk of my gas pain went away the second and third day. I'm a stomach sleeper, and found myself sleeping on my stomach without realizing it, which helped release the gas. I'm still bloated, but not nearly much. I've got more swelling because I ended up with a massive hematoma across my lower abdomen.

Hi, I was also sleeved on February 3 and am also experiencing a lot of bloating and gas pains. I am doing a lot of walking, but it has not helped too much yet. I follow up with my surgeon on Wednesday so hopefully he can give me some tips.

Try Water, walking and gas x strips.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
