vsg4v 2 Posted July 2, 2017 I had my surgery on the 6/26 and the first 2 days were brutal. I cried, I regretted the surgery, I was angry, nauseous, in pain, afraid to drink... all of the possible cons that you could think of I dealt with, but thankfully all of that has subsided ! The biggest thing I recommend is making sure to take your recommended antacids and gas medicine. The pain I thought was from my incisions was mostly gas pain. So getting up and walking around, and getting off my pain medicine is what helped me the most, because I could better determine what type of pain I was feeling. Also get on the scale, in just 6 days I've lost 11lbs. Seeing the weight drop so quickly has made those tough days worth it. 1 Cat64 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cat64 5 Posted July 2, 2017 I had mine 6/27/17. Gas was the worst pain I had. I still have tons of gas, wondering how long that lasts?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cat64 5 Posted July 2, 2017 I had Gastric Bypass on June 27. I don't have any problems getting fluids down. My Dr has me drink one oz of Water every fifteen minutes. I look forward to the 1oz of cream of wheat and pudding. I don't think I get hungry it's probably head hunger. I am adding more 1 oz Protein Shake shots today. My pain is mostly from gas. I hope my surgery worked. It's weird that I am not experiencing what everyone else is. Is anyone else getting their fluids down no problem? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using BariatricPal mobile appI am getting them down for now with no issues, but the gas is crazy Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julbug 15 Posted July 2, 2017 I had surgery 6/29. I cried this morning but I also hadn't taken children's Tylenol yet so I was feeling all of it at once. Ive spent the day walking around, reading, talking to friends about my progress via text and watching on demand shows. Find something to do and walk around a lot. Good luck to you!

Randy-J 3 Posted July 3, 2017 Are you folks who are dealing with gas having bowel movements? If you are not having b.m.s then try stool softeners, my doc recommended me to use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Csteinman75 12 Posted July 3, 2017 Had mine 6/28 doing great now onto phase 2 full liquids until day 13 then move to phase 3 purée foods. I have no issues getting down the liquids bought unflavored Protein to add to Soup. Still having gas no solid BM yet. Although I don't like pain meds taking them twice a day to control BP calling my general dr tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NikkiWorldJourney 70 Posted July 3, 2017 Had mine 6/27. Gas is better now. Stopped taking pain meds and got more Water in today, seems to have helped a lot. Still have not had a BM at all. Maybe I'll call dr tomorrow and ask about taking something for that. 1 Missy161 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NikkiWorldJourney 70 Posted July 3, 2017 Anyone else neevous? I'm doing what I'm supposed to and I think I'm okay but I keep freaking out about getting a leak or a blood clot. Any little pain in my legs puts me in a panic attack. I'm driving my husband nuts I'm sure. I just hate feeling off. 1 Missy161 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

faithmel 1 Posted July 3, 2017 Sleeved on Wednesday - no issues I was also sleeved on Wed. Are you having hungry pains? Seems like my stomach rumbles all the time. Feel as if I haven't even had surgery. No pain. No problems drinking fluids etc. feeling scared surgery was not successful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LetGoJo 27 Posted July 3, 2017 I feel great - not hungry - but if I was I would have a shake or protien- I had my first BM today - I was sent home with senna to take every night. It reminds me of having a baby - you take your time and the new bowel and habits develop. It's fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
