After my surgery I walked so much I was getting to know other patients in the rooms and well their family lol because I kept trying to get rid of the gas pain... It seems it didn't get better until I actually started passing gas, and the only thing that worked is I would sit on a recliner with my legs bent on the foot rest and that did the trick, and beef broth was actually very comforting for me because jellos and Popsicles where too sweet and chicken broth was nasty.

They actually didn't want me to leave hospital until I started to pass gas and I actually told them one day that I wasn't ready to go home yet, so just speak up depending on how you feel, don't rush things...

When I got home it was harder because I didn't have handles on the bed or a way to raise it up or down to help me get up, so it was actually easier for me in the hospital.

Hope you all get better and the gas pains go away!

Me too! I was in my bed in the waiting room. They said okay it's time. Next thing I know, I'm waking up and they said surgery was done. I don't remember anything in between.

But now, all we have to focus on, is healing and dropping them pounds! Yey to us losers! Congratulations to everyone sitting on the losers bench with me! You guys have motivated me even more than I already was. Thank you for that. ????????????

Hey there all you losers!

I'm 15 hours post-op!!! last night I just needed to sleep. Today I've gotten in a couple walks and 2 oz Water, 2 oz popsicle, and now working on 2 oz of Apple juice.

I had a nausea patch, so so thankful for that......So I'm in good shape there.

I started using morphine today and I feel pretty good. Luckily no gas pains unless morphine is just masking it.

Haven't been able to pee yet either.

Hubby spent the night with me so I was lucky to keep this private room.

Okay... So I'm still in lots of pain from gas, particularly shoulder, neck and chest area, but I've been trying to get in fluids every 15mins

And have been doing walks to try and help.... Another think helping me is doing"windmills" with my arm to help move the gas down.... I have had gas and bowel movements so I don't expect to have pain much longer

I've taken the liquid really good...teeny tiny sips and it stays down. LINDSAY did you have RNY or the sleeve.

I just realized why I haven't needed to pass gas....my husband is passing enough for the both of us lol

Btw, heating pad helps a lot for gas pain in shoulder and other areas, I used so many of those ready heated pads while in hospital.

My gas pain is mostly gone. I had my bandages changed and had last minute meds injections.

I'm going home in 30 minutes. I won't weigh myself until the gas pain is completely gone. I don't want a false weight because I'm bloated. Lol...

Now we will gather to tell our progress instead of how scared and nervous we are.. yey maybe in a month or two, I'll post a progress picture. I hope to have lost at least 30 in two months. I can't wait.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
