I am really miserable! ! I am walking & getting in as much liquid as I can, but completely unable to pass gas. Does anyone have any suggestions? ? Also haven't had a bowel movement in at least 5days. Sorry for the gross information but am desperate! ! Any suggestions would be great! ! Thank you

My doc said that he wasn't so concerned about passing gas w/sleeve since there was no re-routing. So, hopefully it's nothing bad.

Might want to get off of narcotic pain meds. They will stop you up.

Have you been on liquids a while? I was on 2 weeks liquids before my surgery one week before Clear Liquids. How much of a bowel movement can you do on a liquid diet. I went a week out before, yeah tmi I went, but not much at all. I did pass some gas, I too was in hospital 3 long nights agree on the pain meds, they cause lots of back ups. Maybe it's effecting the gas also? Try going off them and use Tylenol. A lot of us went off pain pills first day or two, some longer. Welcome to the weight loss world!

I didn't pass gas until my body was ready. Don't worry about it get yourself some mints and suck them . I burped a lot . Then finally when my body was ready started passing wind .

My doc did not want me taking the gas x strips he said they would not help well my friend had bypass and she said they worked so I took some with me and the doc was wrong they helped me a lot so definitely get you some.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
