Yeah I'm about to go for a walk around my neighborhood. The gas x strip haven't helped me much.

Gas x strips are not doing anything for me. I'm been using a heating pad off and on all day. I just want this gas pain to go away.

The gas pain js hurting me too, mostly in my stomach, upper back, shoulder and even my neck hutts (but it always hurts)Gas X Strips not really helping me either, and my tummy hurts too much to walking out doors. I did walk around my house though.

I'm on liquids only and having a tough time getting all the flyifs down, it feels like it gets trapped in my chest and I burp after I eat.

My biggest complaint currently is the gas pain in my shoulder. Yall know what could help with it?

I have it too. I think it has to just evaporate. I've only known to use gas x stipe, and walk. I also resd something that said to pull your knees up. Maybe google it.

The hunger may go away, for a little bit after surgery you still have the hunger hormone in your body. Also, some people don't feel the restriction until they hit mushy/solid foods.

I sure hope it goes away. I have been concerened since right before the surgery (when she said she uses a 40 bougie (a larger one to measure the stomach cut). She said that takes about 70% of the stomach.

I know it's early, I would just hate To go through all of this to still be hungry all the time, or not lose weight.

Apparently my hernia was very large. So I'm sure that's what caused alot of my nausea. liquids are going down much easier today and burping is easier and not very painful. I have had to take anti nausea meds since 3am. I got out and walked around the grocery store today. I also have managed to get in over 60g if protien. But only about 20oz of Water. How are yall doing on your liquid I takes?

I'm a little late to the party but I also had surgery on the 23rd. My surgery was at 2:30 pm so I was out of the hospital 6pm on Wednesday. It would have been earlier but the pain meds had me so nauseous that I could barely move. I had to switch to Tylenol before I left and have been on that since leaving but the he pulls are too big to swallow so I have cut into pieces or crush.

So far my pain is gas pain, the incision sites aren't bad at all although it feels like something is pulling on my stomach inside.

I am drinking Protein drinks and Popsicles and occasionally broth. So far it's all working well. Water doesn't taste so good right now. I can't wait to eat real food. A deviled egg sounds like the best thing on earth right now!

Hi all, I had my sleeve down in Melbourne, Australia on Feb 22. Had a pretty easy time afterwards with minimal pain and was released from hospital Thursday 25. I don't have any minimal Protein requirements and am looking forward to puree stage

Wow! You're doing great! I hope in the ne t few days, I can get out to the store. I've been trying to keep my fluids up....but i'm probably getting only half lf them. It feels like gurgling, and pressire when I drink...so I try and slow down even more. I mainly have SF Jello, popsicles, water, and I tried Campblells broth today (I didn't like it).

Oh my doc said clear liquids and protien shakes. The protien shakes are the only exception. But I'm mixing unflavored protien into my broth so that I'm getting something in. It's helped a lot

I bought some Campbell's chicken noodle Soup and have strained out the noodles and chicken. And am just having the "broth" that's left over. It's alot more tasty. I ate 3oz of it yesterday with 1 scoop of unflavored protien powder mixed in. It took me about 30 minutes to finish it though.

Sorry, I meant to type 2 weeks, I go back on March 10th, and then I go to pureed food. It seems like a ling time to go 2 weeks without Protein. I already feel week, and hungry. Maybe I'll check with her office. It does say all clear for 2 weeks, until she see's me.

Glad the Protein is working for you!

I'm hungry And upset that I am. I realty hoped I would be one of the ones who isn't really hungry. And I have pain in my diaghram (i had a small hiatel hernia, but apparently my doc doesn't do that suegeey

my doctor did both surgerys at the same time.

I thought my doctor would do it at the same time if needed. But, at the time of surgery the residents said...that's not something she does. A thoracic surgeon does that.

I hope that it was small enough that it was better to leave it alone. I sure wished I asked my surgeon some more questions. She's super famous where I live, and I didn't want to bother her. Also, she did a gastric bypass on my aunt 14 years ago, and my aunt has been maintaining at 250 lb weight loss for over 10 years. So, I just thought...she's the director...she knows what she's doing. I sure hope so for my sake!

I tried the straining method...it sure tasted better, but I think the onion or garlic hurt my stomach. So I only drank an ounce. I guess I'll have to try Campbells beef broth (it's in the cupboard) or another type of chicken broth.
