blessedandreborn@50 9 Posted December 9, 2015 I had surgery on December 3. Everything went well, but the GAS. I thought that I was having a heart attack. Since being home I am having alot of cravings. I still have not been able to enjoy the Protein Shakes or bullets. I have tried Premier vanilla and New Whey fruit punch. I am maintaining though and this site has really helped me to understand this lifestyle change even more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Half of Bri 115 Posted December 9, 2015 @@blessedandreborn@50 I am six days out and in the exact same boat! I thought recovery from the actual surgery would be the most difficult part, and boy was I WRONG. It's the lifestyle change more than anything...I am having a heck of a time getting Protein and Water in, I feel weak, I want FOOD! I have been watching baking shows, food Network...I'm sure it doesn't help...but I did manage to get about 1/4 cup of Tomato Soup down today (at the OK from my surgeon) and it was DIVINE! It tasted like the best thing I'd ever had...I guess stale bread would taste good to someone who hasn't had actual food in 7 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blessedandreborn@50 9 Posted December 9, 2015 It's good to know that someone else is experiencing the same things as me. I just can't wait to see my surgeon on Friday. Perhaps the next step of foods will be better. Do you have staples or stitches. I have staples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psychprof 141 Posted December 9, 2015 I'm really new to this whole process--going for my very first consult on Monday. I'm really curious why everyone talks about gas. What's up with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blessedandreborn@50 9 Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) @hadsolo...Every person is different, but after my surgery I had a great deal of gas and all they told me was to walk. When I went home I used the Gas X strips. I am better now with the gas pain but I still have gas. Edited December 10, 2015 by blessedandreborn@50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emilie.Lancaster 189 Posted December 11, 2015 I was sleeved on the 8th, I'm pleased that I got enough Water in me today. I swallow way too much air. I have a lot of gas below, but with the watery stools, I can't trust a fart. Made a pudding hammock already, and that was embarrassing. But. I look at each sip as a victory. Tomorrow will be different. Count on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mom3rdpwr 1 Posted December 12, 2015 I was sleeved on the 1st. All went well but for some reason I have had a hard time getting my oxygen up so they sent me home on O2. My one week post op appt went great - down 6.3 from surgery date and today I started puréed foods! Who knew cottage cheese would taste like a gourmet meal?
