Recommended Posts

Hello guys, i had my sleeve on Monday, November 13 at Bellevue, NY. I have a lllllot of pain, mostly gas. I walked, had gasX, had tea NOTHING! !! Went to bathroom (#2) since Sunday, i just took some Miralax. Is there's something I'm missing? How long did that gas lasted?

Hi Zoxie! Congratulations on the surgery! My gas pains mostly went away about 5 days after surgery. It took a full 14 days until I was able to walk around without crouching over and shuffling and it was close to 9 days before I had my first bowel movement. Bathroom trips are probably going to change :) I was super regular pre-op and now I'm lucky if I go 2 or 3 times a week - I'm almost 4 months post-op. Make sure you keep up your Water intake so you don't get constipated when you move into soft and solid foods.

I also had a scratching/burning sensation in my chest and stomach that was very painful. I thought it was gas but learned it was stomach acid; I never had acid reflux until my surgery so it was scary! In my experience, drinking a lot of water helped keep it away, as well as taking a Pepcid chewable as needed. I also learned my trigger foods (anything with Tomato, spicy foods, coffee) and avoided them until my acid production was reduced which took about 3 1/2 months. Please reach out if you need anything! There's a great community here who will support and encourage. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
