hopeful2loose2014 21 Posted April 24, 2014 I did it. I feel pretty good and they have me walking every 2 hours but the gas is still painful. It's sitting in my chest and my upper back it's almost hard to take a deep breath. But otherwise I'm good. Hope this is the worse of it. How arey fellow 4/23ers doing?

hopeful2loose2014 21 Posted April 24, 2014 Thank you. I'm a little hungry which makes me nervous and they gave Pepcid so it's not acid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jennifer2575 55 Posted April 24, 2014 Thank you. I'm a little hungry which makes me nervous and they gave Pepcid so it's not acid. I was hungry too- get your liquids in, Protein Shakes help with being hungry and heating pads always made the gas pains feel better when I wasn't walking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StephsJourney 19 Posted April 26, 2014 I was also sleeved on the 23rd. There was no way I could have posted that day, I was in so much pain and really out of it. They had me walking right away also. I came home on the 24th and really have just been miserable since, though today I feel a little better. I have no hunger at all and the thought of sipping the Protein Drinks and Water makes me ill. I cannot stomach the pain meds crushed in the sugarfree applesauce, so I have been skipping them. I am hoping each day will get easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am 6 days post op and feel great! Haven't used pain meds since the first night. Today I went food shopping with hubby. I'm not driving yet, but hopefully by next weekend.
