Most likely your surgeon will. I am a nurse and if that such thing occurred in my hospital, the surgeon would pick it up no questions asked and you would have been treated like a queen during your stay . Glad you're doing better. Xoxoxo

I think you just try to do better the next day. I also struggle with getting the protein drinks down. Have you tried low Carb slim fast? They meet all the nutritional requirements and taste better than the protein drinks to me. Or maybe powdered protein? They also make protein shots and a kind of jello shot with 15gms of protein in them. They are call protein twist shots. Hope one of these can help you.

Ice water again!?!? I was a huge ice water junky prior to surgery. Now it causes cramping. Does this ever go away? I'm 10 days post op.

Thanks for the support and encouragment!!!

Anemia can definitely cause this...

Class of 99 here! I'm thirty and 10 days post op. I live in Northern Cali. Looking for friends to take this journey with. Email me at chasie2002@yahoo.com. I will also mention, I'm a nurse and a mmom

Hi all. I had my sleeve done on Friday the 26th, four days ago. I was released from the hospital today. I was doing well keeping fluids down during my hospital stay. I got sick on the car ride home, and since am having an awful time drinking the required 30ml of fluid every fifteen minutes. I can hardly keep water down, let alone protein drink. I am worried that I am abnormal or that something is wrong. Others make it sound like it was no issue in keeping liquids down. I'm also feel extremely emotional. I am worried that I did the wrong thing. Please give me feedback on your experiences and any advice you may have.

My NUT has mainly focused on protein, protein, protein. What has been your recommendation for daily amount of carbs? Thanks!

The past couple of days my stomach hurts when food or liquid hits it. Its like I take a bite and within a few seconds it hurts. Have any of you experienced this?

I'm 9 days out. I still get the cramping. Especially while drinking. I l burp a lot too. My Dr. Said that will get better as I get used to swallowing with my new stomach. The dizziness will improve. Its just your body adapting. I didn't have a drain so I can't help there. Good luck.

I'm having more of an anxiety response. I'm scared. Scared I ruined my body. Scared I wont succeed. Scared I am too young to have done this. Scared that down the road there are going to be horrible side effects that will kill me and my family will be alone. Scared my suture line will rupture and I will die Pretty much all around scared.....

I was sleeved on 8/26. I too am having buyers remorse. My biggest worry is the long term affect of the sleeve. I am also angry at myself for altering my body. I'm hoping things get better. Hugs to all of you.

I was sleeved just a week ago. Last night I was eating a pudding, and probably a little too fast..LOL. Well I took a big bite and felt like it literally stretched my sleeve a bit. Like I could feel it, kind of a stretchy pain. Now all day today I have a weird pain if I eat or drink anything. It's near my belly button. It's more of a sore overworked muscle feeling than like a sharp pain. Knowing me I probably damaged something!!!

I am a Nurse and am afraid to go back. I am only a week out. I think I am going to take the 4 weeks off that I planned. Any other nurses out there that work 12 hour shifts? What is the best way to deal with long work days (or nights in my case)????

What are your favorite mushies? I still Have 3 weeks on liquids, but am looking forward to some mushie variety.

Thanks!

I was told to NEVER chew gum. Reason being that if you accidently swallowed it it could plug up the inlet or outlet to your stomach.

Where has the majority of your pain been? Right or left???

Has anyone else experienced this. Its after I take a drink. Its a weird almost crampy feeling above my belly button. Its got me scared....

Oh yes completely normal!!!!!

I feel it too. I can literally feel it running down then near my belly button I get a bit of pain.

Cool jammies wick away the sweat. Just search Google for something like "night sweat pajamas" and I'm sure you'll find them

I am one week out. My stool pretty much normalized until today. I drank a low Carb slim fast, and It was like a faucet turned on!!!! Now I know certain foods can cause nausea...but How about diarrhea? Has anyone else experienced this?

Some people sneeze too
