My Sleeve was done 1/19/18, so today is my 2 week anniversary! My surgery was uneventful and I was home in a day and a half. I have experienced the usual learning curve in discovering how and what to eat, but I have a disadvantage, in that I am lactose intolerant, which means I cannot eat whey protein powder, cream soups or anything with dairy.
The biggest issue I’ve had are the gas pains...the amount of gas and the pain I have experienced has been extreme. I have been eating Gas-X like candy, so I have reduced the gas in my intestinal tract, but still have a lot of gas in my chest cavity. I cannot sleep for more than 3 to 4 hours at a time because of it. I have already spoken to my doctor and am walking every day, So we know this isn’t something more serious. If anyone has any remedies, I would appreciate it.
