I was sleeved Monday, Nov 12th, 14 and it has been a breeze. My only problem is GAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing that seems to work is taking a hot shower. Anise tea helps some too. I seem to do better with hot drinks as opposed to cold. I was 272lbs sleeve day and yesterday was 260lbs. So far, so good.

Thank you ladies. Walking have not helped. Only hot showers and hot drinks. I'm not able to tolerate protein shakes ye****er must be room temperature.

One thing I find interesting though, I have a history of complications, such as blood clots, anesthesia reactions and did not think this surgery was going to be the exception. I have low pain tolerance, yet I've required minimal pain meds including the first day. This whole experience has been better than I could've imagined, thank God. I'm grateful.
