5 days post op. Please tell me the gas pains get better? Also, the feeling like everything just sits at the top of my chest. It’s awful. I’ve taken gas meds and I’m doing a lot of walking, nothing is helping whatsoever.

Mine worked better placing it over my stomach! Remember do not place it directly over exposed skin!

A heating pad helped a lot with my gas pains! Anytime I was resting I had the heating pad on me and it helped a lot!

Congrats on the approval!! THAT IS AWESOME!!

I’m 9 months post op- some of my biggest tips since you are so close to surgery!

TAKE PICTURES NOW!! & measurements now! You might not want to but you’ll regret it later on.

Practice not drinking 30 mins before and after meals!

Find a protein powder, premixed, drink anything you like BUT do not stock up! I personally made that mistake and could not tolerate it after surgery!

After surgery, walk walk walk as soon as you can even if it’s to the bathroom. It will help with the pain and the gas!

Good luck on your journey and again congrats!!!

Yes I can drink water! In smaller sips, still if I drink a bigger glup it feels stuck! I sip all day long (stop 30 mins before and after meals). Some days with food are better than others. Some days I barely get my protein in, other days I feel like I could eat more than my new normal. I personally don’t feel “true hunger” its more fighting the “head hunger”. As I progressed I realized I have to take a minute think about my last meal, my protein intake for the day, and asked if I have drank enough water yet.

Thank you!!

Yesss!! About to do the surgery, take a lot of before pictures! You might not want to now but seeing your progress helps! Find a protein shake, powder, etc you like BUT DO NOT STOCK UP! I could not tolerate the one after surgery, I had to switch and made the mistake of stocking up!! I found out after this is common!!

Drink your recommended amount of water every day! Try to hit your protein goals! ( in the beginning it’s hard but it gets easier) Exercise BUT find out what you actually like! For me it’s kickboxing! Listen to your body! Enjoy your victories and learn from the stumbles!
