2 days post op gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

You’ll get through it! The nauseous and gas pains were so intense for me the first 2 days I didn’t think I had the strength to handle it. Try and focus on taking deep breaths. Sounds lame, but it helped me. It will get a little bit better day by day.

You in Hell but you are on a esculator heading up - For me it was 18 days till life was normal - Some people Rocked thru it some had minor issues. The Gas was my killer - It took me a long time to get the air out, Just stay focused and move, I mean really move walk the dog, Do not eat or drink unless standing.

Keeping your head on straight is hard, DO NOT SECOND GUESS YOU WILL BE AMAZED WHAT CAN BE DONE IN 90 DAYS FROM NOW

I think some if the issues re Fluid intake maybe because of your nausea. Let's face it, when you feel sick like that the last thing you want to do is swallow something to stir it back up.

You will get through this. You are strong and have made it this far. Keep envisioning what you will be doing in 3 months you don't do now! Everyones journey is different. You can do this! I have lost 24 lbs since 10/1 when I had my surgery. Just look what you have to look forward too!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
