gas pain was odd but it will pass no pin intended blood clots keep walking everyday many times a day.. try and drink as much as you can..each of us have to go through this experience...

Walk, walk and walk to help with gas. I don’t k ow how mobile you are but walk as much as you can. They had me walking that afternoon, the next day I must have walked for over an hour at one point, I made it a game. Every time I passed my room I’d take a sip of Water. Made it easier.

i can’t say it enough walk. When you get home. Do the same. Get up every 10 minutes and talk a walk around the house, keep doing that and I promise you won’t have gas. It worked for me,

Hi everyone,

My VSG was exactly 2 weeks ago. I was up and walking that night, and did a lot of walking through the night (only thing that really helped the gas pain).

I was discharged the next afternoon, and stopped pain meds on post-op day 2. Following surgeon and nutritionist plans, I transitioned to non-liquid Protein a few days ago. Can’t eat more than 1-2 oz of food at a time.

Hope everyone is doing great!

My surgery is on July 30. I had the lap band 9 years ago so I'm familiar with what to expect, but this will be far invasive. I am excited, scared, but will take this one day at a time, then come surgery I have faith and confidence in my doctor. He did the band, band removal, so we have history.

I had surgery 6/5 and still haven't lost 10lbs! I am losing inches. I just wondered if anyone had anything to say or any suggestions to give. I am getting my Protein and Water in with no problem. Plus I am walking 10k steps a day.

He said it was normal! Now I am up to 12 lbs lost and today makes 2 months. I really don't feel that it's normal. I feel better and I am happy about inches lost, I just think I should have lost more weight. I am 56 so I thought it might be my age.

If your surgeon isn't worried and you are following his/her instructions, I wouldn't worry. Let the tool do its work and walk, walk, walk! Good luck to you!

Update, my stomach is healed, I yin and Yang with diet and diabetes. I am on the upside my weight is 223 from 289 and I hope my 240 stall is finally over. Ozempic helped manage my A1c a lot and had a neat side effects of feeling nausea which helps me control hunger and has helped my weight loss.

I am hopeful to hit the 219-210 in the new year and will need to start buying clothes to offset my weight loss, I want to follow a minimalist perspective moving forward. I begin p90x again in Jan to tone up and keep the losses coming. I got a small dog and walking him 3 x a day has been super helpful!
