If you can at all try to walk a little. Just like with wls you don't want gas to get trapped it is painful. I will also say the same for when you have your hysterectomy. Hope you are getting some rest. TillieS

I couldn't do anything for 6 weeks, then after that It took another 8 weeks to completely heal. I still had problems for a few weeks after that. I had a partial hysterectomy a few years ago. They cut me open for that then a few months later I had to have to one ovary I kept removed but, they did...

Hey Cheyenne, glad to hear that your surgery went well and you came through it with flying colors. I am sorry that you had to go through all of that. I am glad that your surgeon was able to get everything out without you having to be cut open. I had to get cut open for mine and it took awhile...

Hi Jackie welcome to the group. I am now about 10 weeks post op from the sleeve. I am still struggling with a few things but, all in all it's going great. I am learning to get in all of my protein. It's still a struggle for me but I am working on it. My weight is a little slow moving because...

I got a call back from the nurse navigator. I will be taking carafate 4x a day. I will also be going to see the GI doctor next week. Stinkerbelle I can't handle beef at all now. It hurts me really badly. So I do chicken, fish and shrimp as far as meats go. It will not be a big deal for me not to...

I no longer have a gall bladder. It was taken out several years ago. I am just waiting for a call back from the doctors office. TillieS

thank you both for your replies. I was told by the surgeon and bariatric staff before I had my surgery that I would be taking pepto for the first 3-4 months to coat my stomach. I will be calling this morning when they open up. TillieS

Ok got a question. I have been feeling bad for the last few days. My stomach has been having a burning sensation. I will contact my docs tomorrow but, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I have omeprazole that I take everyday and I am taking pepto 4 times a day. I have 2...

I would like to wish my American Bariatrics family a very Happy and Blessed Easter. TillieS :D:D:D

I took my own soap because of my skin. Don't forget your last minute things like toothbrush and toothpaste. Deodorant. And any questions you may have for your surgeon that you may think of. That's what I did. TillieS

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on your surgery. I am 2 months out and am still having problems getting in all of my protein. I have been drinking some already made protein shakes I find them to be a little easier to handle on my stomach. I have some protein powder that my husband ordered for me...

Thanks Jan, I am hanging in there. I just keep pushing on lol. Working out and trying to figure out what works well for me as far different foods go. I know veggies work well. Chicken works, can't do beef. It's gonna be good. Things will get better for both of us. :-) TillieS

I spoke with the Doc at the bariatric clinic and she said to up my protein. I am still having trouble getting in all of the protein they want me to have. Also my sugars have been running normal I had a few low sugars but not many. I don't think I am eating enough during the day so I am getting...

Ok here is another question. Is it normal for my energy levels to drop at this point in my journey? I have noticed that in the last week I have been feeling so drained. My energy sucks right now. I don't like this feeling. Any thoughts on this any advice? TillieS
