MargoCL 677 Posted December 23, 2018 Just keep drinking your fluids and walk, walk, walk. Everyday gets a little better 4 Frustr8, FluffyChix, ProudGrammy and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kay07 734 Posted December 23, 2018 Agreed with Margo! Each day gets easier. When it feels overwhelming, just remember that it's DOWNHILL from here on out. A few months from now you're going to look back and see the road you traveled and the progress you made, and feel a huge sense of achievement. You are one day closer to healthy ❤️ 4 ProudGrammy, pinksparkle1965, Frustr8 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzy1125 1,010 Posted December 23, 2018 Like the ladies said. Keep walking. The gas pains go away completely by 2 weeks. I think mine was a little over a week. I do not recall now. Focus on what you and walking, and drinking your liquids and you will get to being healed faster. 2 FluffyChix and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichelleinVT 2 Posted December 23, 2018 This OP could have been written by me. I had gastric bypass surgery on December 19, and I'm still in pain. Or severe discomfort. I cant tell if its gas, pain from the manipulation (some larger bruising on my right side) or if this is my new hunger pain. Or a bit of everything all mixed together. Right now it feels like I have a tight giant rubber band around my midsection. I'm trying to walk around the house, but I still feel tired pretty quickly. I keep a water bottle by me at all times, and can only comfortably take in 1/4 cup of food at a time. I know I'm not getting nearly enough Protein. It's my current struggle. Well, that and making sure I dont dehydrate. I am however, completely and thoroughly sick of cream Soups made with milk and strained. Tomorrow I'm getting some pre made Protein Shakes just to shake things up. Pun intended. I was having severe buyers remorse yesterday, but I've been talking with some friends who went through it and am trying to keep in mind that 2 weeks will suck, but then it will get better. Ugh! 2 pinksparkle1965 and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lolo 2020 236 Posted December 24, 2018 Wow , surgery on dec 19 and ur eating food ? I had it Dec 20 and am still on Clear Liquids . Finally got some diet Jello down yesterday . Today going to try my slim fast and pure Protein Shakes but I have trouble doing more than 2 oz every 15 min. I too am still very sore in the midsection , but walked 10k steps yesterday and gas/bloating much better . Burning a hole in my parents carpets wandering around the house !
