and me girls!!!! Spent most of the day in bed cos I'm more comfortable in foetal position, I know I should be walking around but just feel knackered. Like Emma I can eat and drink but just don't want to.......just trying a slimfast. The one thing I am enjoying is orange juice ice lollies, had 1 last night and one earlier today - great for my throat, which is now feeling much better!!!!

 

[Tracey1404]

[queenofbelfastcity]

Same here Emma, had bought some widease tabs last week thinking they were chewable but they're not, however just looked at them and they are tiny capsules so I had 2 of those at 8 pm as i was so desperate - they went down fine but don't appear to have helped at all!!! At least we both feeling the same so I assume it must be normal????? Diets going well though,, hardly had a thing all day!! x

I just don't know what to do with myself at least your feeling the same so like you say it makes you think it's normal, Suzy rang THG group today to see what I could take for the wind and the nurse told her I can have windeeze chewable tablets but I have to suck it till its completely gone, and I can also have gripe water which is VILE! Lol but the windeeze n gripe water havnt helped at all , I feel so sorry for myself! Although like you I have hardly anything all day xx

I had a similar thing after I had my gall bladder out. Not a lot of consolation but it will get easier over the next few days as the gas is expelled. Not looking forward to having that feeling again next week! Hugs to you both!

CONGRATULATIONS LADIES

It will get easier promise. However I did not experience wind pain. I think most ladies (and gents) who get it are ones who have had fills at time of surgery. I had a 14ml band fitted with no fill and did not experience any wind pain at all. But I know Mimi had a 4ml fill in her band at surgery and had terrible wind pain too. Me never experienced it once. So I am not too sure if it is a good thing or bad thing to have a fill right away. I know not having one my recovery was much easier than I had anticipated but I will not recieve any fill till the middle of August. So its 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.
Hopefully every passing day it will get easier (fingers crossed)

Last night tried deflatene and peppermint cordial for wind pain, combination of which resulted in vomitting three times and two calls to THG emergency helpline. At minute can only just keep water down and breathing through the sickness. They suggested I go to A and E for anti sickness drug or possibly go into Dolan park to have some fluid takenout. Frankly I don't want anyone messing with me so am liking neither option... The wind pain is horrible... Feels much worse than any thing.... Actually surgery incisions are fine... Hope you windy ladies feel better... So glad this passes hopefully small price to pay for big losses later xxxxx

Hope you both begin to feel better real soon........just think how lovely and slim we are going to be!!!!! Xxx

I have had the bad wind pain, but it is getting better each day. I cant get a lot of fluids down without the horrid chest pain. Do you know how much we are meant to drink per day??
I am taking about an hour to drink about 200ml.
I know it will get better, its just the post op stuff.

 

[bunnyboileri]

I am 6 days a bandit and the wind pain is still very bad.

 

[JO28172]

No pain no gain as they say, this is short term discomfort which will soon be gone then the exciting times can start for you

 

[queenofbelfastcity]

Caroline and Emma... How you both doing?? Caroline I can't seem to stay away from the loo absolutely NO problem liquid in liquid out!! Since they took out fluid I have felt so much better.. Been able to walk and everything... Am managing about a litre a day now... Emma previously I had that awful chest pain then it all came back up. If you are keeping it down, sounds like you are ahead of the game as your fill is working.

Dealing better with wind and now burping... Everytime I sip anything I need massive burp

I agree about no pain, no gain however I did draw the line at losing consciousness due to dehydration that was a step of pain too far and surgeon at Dolan Park agreed lol... It would be me that it happens to mind you... Dissolving panadol sounds like good idea no sure I can take much more pseudo calpol!! Xx
