Im 10 days post op still no solid bm. I usually have 1 watery one a day but I figured I havent had any solid food for weeks.

Lol ive done that too. Not celery sticks but chicken

Good luck

Thanks. I go tues for follow up so I should b able to eat after that. Im gonna run home and make some eggs . I cant wait to b able to eat something. Seeing everyone else eat at first was ok but its been weeks since ive had food and craving it so bad

This is horrible. Im so sorry and sending prayers your way. Stay positive and have faith in God. She'll pull thru. This is a miracle weekend!

My surgeon and all the nurses I saw said no ibuprofen, no advil. Not only can they thin the blood but they can irritate the stomach and can cause ulcers

I think everyone is a mess lol. Its a lot of emotions. I was sleeved april 9 and believe me when I woke up I regretted it. But as the days went on I feel so much. Theres still obstacles.im on liquid diet and missing being able to eat. But I know its just for a short time. Im so happy I got my sleeve. Good luck on your journey

Good luck and welcome to the losers club

Erin ur doing good! Hang in there. I had to cook for my family to and it is pretty hard but just stay positive and itll soon be over and your new life will begin!!!

Congrats! Ur doing good. Keep it up

Call dr. Dont play around with ur health

Goldissa, listen to your body. If u start having pain by all means use your pain med. But I wouldn't suggest just taking it out of fear. When they took my pain pump away I was so afraid all the pain was gonna hit me at once. But since then except for some tylenol for my back ( hate sleeping on my back) I ve taken nothing for pain. Pain meds are very useful if u need them but also addicting. When I had my gallbladder out a few years ago I took vicodin every 4 hours but I think it stalled my healing procese. It made me sleepy and lazy lol. But just listen to your body everyone is different. Maybe try waiting 5 hours to see how your feeling. U may surprise yourself

I had my surgery wed April 9 .I dont have any pain but the nausea is horrible. Everything I sip I wanna throw it up. I have to take the anti nausea meds to keep anything down. Without that it comes back up. Im having a hard time getting my fluids in. Anyone else have that problem?

Dont rush it. If u cant get fluids down and have to stay another day then so b it. Better then forcing yourself. I vomited after surgery....wasnt pleasant

I cant wait to try this. Im still on liquids until next wed but this may b my first meal. Cant wait!!!!!

Next wed I get to start pureed foods. Very exciting! Does anyone have some good ideas? Things theyve tried and were able to handle?

Thank u

Good luck. Just relax. You'll go in the o.r looking around next min you'll b waking up in recovery room. I was sleeved last wed and so happy. The next day was rough for me with nausea but they gave me zofran thru my iv and it helped instantly. Hardly any pain. If u get nauseous after ask for some alcohol wipes. They had me sniff it and it helps with the nausea. Good luck .post when your able

I was sleeved april 9th. I had black nail polish on toes and fingers . It wasnt a problem. I guess every surgeon is different

Wow they let u take sips already?

Glad your doing better. I cant start protein shakes until tomorrow. Cant wait

Good luck today. Just a lil positive note. I know how youre feeling. All of us who have beened sleeved have been there. But with my sleeve on april 9 and my 5 day preop diet so far ive dropped my bmi 5 points already. Think positive !

Good luck everyone. I just had mine last wed. I must admit the day after surgery I had wish I didnt do it. But by the 3 rd day was feeling pretty good. Didnt have much pain. Nausea was my enemy but cant complain now. Just remember the pain and discomfort will pass soon. Do as thr drs tell u and you'll b ok. Good luck

I wore the gown and pjs home

Pickle juice? Lol
