Post OP day 2, lots of pressure



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 9/22/16 Thursday afternoon. Was on diluted most of my stay for pain. But was slowly taken off it. I'm having issues with possible gas or air. Or maybe my stomach just needs Protein. I'll get what almost feels like indigestion and then my stomach will "growl" after. I've also passed gas a few times. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this pain or possible gas post Op.

I was sleeved on 9/21 and it is the same for me. Today is the first day I've even come close to my Protein goal. The bloating and gurgle is still there but not as bad as yesterday. Hang in there and WE will be fine.

Walk, walk, walk, walk. I'm 4.5 weeks out and I can remember thinking to myself that walking did more to relieve pain then the prescription pain narcotics. Walking will do wonders for you. Hang in there...it gets so much better with each day.

Oh yes that's very painful. If you can manage a few short walks through the day that will help disperse the gas naturally within your body. I felt like I had swollowed a rock for the first 6 days. It slowly went away just hang in there

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
