I never thought the gas would be so bad. Everything went well, I was home before noon. I am a little uncomfortable but nothing like yesterday. I wanted to cry, some of the gas is passing, any suggestions to help get rid of it? I have been walking a llittle at a time.

Walk a lot if at a possible the gas should pass. Might take a little while though, Good you are home and on the road to recovery.:)

take baby gas drops or other gas medicine. Have someone burp you like a baby! Sleep! Don't drink a Dr Pepper!

Congrats!!! The gas WILL pass, I promise. It's a terrible feeling those first few days but it gets MUCH better.

Hang in there. Walk. Sip. Rest. Stay ahead of the pain, don't let it get too bad before you take meds.

The gas is getting better. I cannot understand how this could take so long, thankfully I don't have the shoulder pain I heard described (yet anyway) The pain meds kind of make the gas pains bearable.

Oh Yeah!!! Use those pain meds, but get off them as quick as you can, they can cause Constipation and if you get nauseus taking them, stop!

Everyday gets a little bit better. Take it slow, listen to your body, don't push it just because you think it ought to be better than it is, based on the "norm". Take it easy, walk, rest, and walk some more. Heating pad. Sip sip sip till ya can't sip no mo'.

Hi Seppi. Hope your gas is getting better. I took GasX chewables; they helped somewhat. Everyone's advice is good. Welcome to Bandland!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
