I agree that everyone is different and heals just fine. I had my surgery on 10/6. I went back to work on 10/14 thinking that I was fine. Now I have a desk job, but after 2 hours I found I was having trouble concentrating. I ended up going home after 4 hours. The next day I worked 6 hours...after that I was back to full hours.

Thanks for the chuckle!

I'm 2 weeks post-op. I had those spasms for what seemed like the entire first week. Now I just get them occasionally and there is no pain associated with them anymore. Hang in there!

Glad you are doing better! I too had a problem with the pain meds right after surgery and was vomitting! Some of us are just *sensitive* !

Does your sleeve "clench"?
5McK replied to emily_0192010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm just shy of two weeks out and I know what you are talking about!! I get that same feeling. I thought maybe it was just spasms, but it does go away after I put something in the "tank". It's not painful or bothersome, but I do notice it. -
Good luck to both of you!!! Check back in when you get a chance and let us know how things went!!

Congratulations!!! And know that all of us celebrate the first belches, gas & bms!!! Means things are starting to work again!!

I had it a few days post-op (I'm only 10 days out now), but I think it stopped on day 4 for me. Good luck and hang in there!!!

Pre Op diet day 1 VERY hungry
5McK replied to skinnynursebetty's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You are lucky! For my pre-op diet it was shakes and Protein bars ONLY! I don't think I've ever been so hungry!!! But I'm 8 days post-op now, down 24.5 pounds and it was ALL WORTH IT!! Keep your eye on the prize!! That helps make it do-able!!! -
Just got home from hospital
5McK replied to Fusilli66's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm just one week post op. For most of this week my stomach was embarrassingly loud!!! My husband even woke me up in the night once to ask if I was ok because my tummy wouldn't hush!! Some days I had all kinds of trouble getting liquids down. Other days did just fine. Take it day by day as you and your body are trying to figure out the "new system". Congrats on being Post Op! -
