Happy to report the nausea is gone.. I called and got some meds that melt on my tongue.. I went thru a whole day of being sick and finally started to feel a little better.. Today I feel alive again!.. I got to eat a whole 2 TLBS of Malt O Meal.. WOW!.. Still having gas but the Gas X Strips really seem to help.. Going for my 1 week post op today.. Haven't been on a scale since surgery! I am so sorry for you. Hopefully they provided you something for nausea. I was told it is pretty common, but lucked out not having to take the meds I bought. Super small sips might help. I was so used to gulping. There is no more gulping. If you didn't get something for the nausea, I would ask ASAP.

Hello Fellow July Sleevers! I was sleeved July 9th.. I have my 1 week post op today. I don't feel like I've lost weight, but surely I have..I did lose 15 pounds on my pre-op diet... Today I was able to have 2 tablespoons of Malt O Meal.. It never tasted so good..Tonight I'm going to have 2 TBLS Tomato Soup, I'm really looking forward to it.. I really don't feel hungry, but I'm going to follow what my Drs. says.. I'm still having pain in my left side where the drainage tube was.. I felt full of energy this morning, that was a first for me. I'm actually doing some laundry.. I'm still experiencing a lot of gas.. I suppose that's normal.. I been using Gas X strips which really seem to help.. God Luck to everyone and a New Happy Healthier You!

For some reason the milk based Protein Shakes are not agreeing with me.. Think I will check out the Isopure Protein.. I'm like you, I been living on broth and greek yogurt and sugar free bomb pops(my fav).. I did mix powered Protein with my yogurt.. I have my 1 week post op tomorrow.. When was your surgery? I don't feel like I've lost weight.. I don't even feel hungry.. I'm going to try tomato Soup for dinner and I've never been so excited about it.. haha Hey there. Glad you are feeling better. Hope the nausea has gone. My first week after I had to choke down Isopure clear protein. They wanted me to get 40 grams of protein so that was like getting one down. I hated it. I would have died without the broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free Popsicles. For week two I've gone to the milk based protein drinks. The Premier Protein has been good. I think they want me at like 60 grams of protein now. Two of those takes care of it. I've also had some Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. My mainstay has still been the broth and Popsicles. Get the best you can buy. It's worth it. Hope you continue to feel better.

I can't drink Water still.. I had the sleeve on July 9th.. I'm still having gas pains.. Lots of burping and seems to linger in my chest. But I have to say today is my best day.. Greek Yogurt is going down good.. My 1 week post op is tomorrow.. I'm still sore, especially in my left side.. I'm looking forward to eating healthy and finding all the new great Bariatric recipes out there!

I had my surgery on July 9th and came home July 10th.. All day on the 10th every time I drank Water I would throw up and have dry heaves.. It feels like the water weighs a ton.. I'm having a lot of pain in my chest, I suppose that's gas... Has anyone else experienced this?.. How long will it last? Thanks!

Had my surgery July 9th... This is the first day that I actually feel like I'm on the mend.. I also had a severely sprained ankle during surgery so that didn't help the cause.. Can anyone give me some ideas on what you are eating at this point? Thanks!

Had my surgery July 9th.. The first few days were HELL.. I got sick several times.. I'm doing much better.. I had a severe sprained ankle and torn ligaments before surgery so I'm sure my body was in over time healing.. Going for my first post op Wednesday.. I don't feel like I've lost weight.. I'm not sure how I am suppose to feel.. Can anyone give me advice on what I should be eating?... Thanks!

We are twins for sure.. How are you feeling today? I'm having horrible gas in my chest.. I've stopped throwing up.. That was horrible.. I'm super sore in my arms and neck are.. I wonder if we are sore from laying on the OR table so long.. They had my arms stretched to the side of me.. hen 1 whole day I laid on my back in bed..My Dr. called in some nausea strips.. Some one on here said they use Gas X strips for the gas.. hmmm.I starting drinking Crystal Light.. It's staying down so much better than Water.. Hope your journey is smooth!.. Take Care!

My Dr. just called in some nausea strips for me.. I sure hope it helps.. I did take all your advice on Crystal Light and I have been sipping on it all morning.. It's actually staying down.. I keep getting horrible gas in my chest.. I started using the Airlife plastic thingy they sent home with me to breath in and it helps a lot... It's so nice to hear what people are going thru, it seems to all be the same thing.. I was beginning to think something was wrong.. I did lose 15 pounds on my pre-op diet which really shocked me.. I didn't think I lost anything.. I still don't feel hungry.. Do any of you feel hungry?

Thanks for all your responses.. I was starting to get worried.. I have Crystal Light.. I'll get started on that morning.. I been walking around my living room.. I did the pre-op diet fo7 days before surgery I lost 15 pounds on that diet.. Crazy things are running thru my head right now.. Like regrets because of the way I feel.. Thanks again..

I'm in a lot of pain.. I keep wanting to throw up.. Can barely keep water down.. Calling my Dr this morning..

I had Surgery July 9th.. I came home this morning on July 10th.. I can't keep anything down.. Everytime I take a sip of water I throw up and dry heave.. It really hurts my belly.. My neck and shoulders are super sore also.. Is the sickness normal?

My stomach is doing the same thing.. I hurts to swallow and I even felt like I would going to throw up.. All I did was burp burp burp... UGH!

It's 7 am.. I'm up and ready to get this thing underway.. My surgery is set for 11:00.. I'm anxious.. Trying to primp this morning as much as I can not being able to wear makeup.. LOL.. Seems like that's the last thing I should be thinking about.. But a girl still wants to look as cute as she can!. I feel like there is a happy ending to a long struggle.. My Son told me it will all be worth it in the end Mom.. I wish good luck to all you sleevers today and tomorrow and the future.. "A NEW HAPPIER HEALTHY YOU"

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... It's so amazing what words can do to a person.. I'm getting ready to pack and go to the store and buy some things.. Do you have any advice on what I should buy?.. To get me startd.. I think I'm overwhelmed and I can't think straight.. You are gonna be just fine. I was the same way just last week. I was excited and freaking at the same time. The only advice I could offer right now is: 1. Try to relax and think about the final outcome. 2. Get up and walk as absolutely soon as possible. If you feel like you can make another trip down the hall, DO IT! I really think it helped my recovery. There were two others that day that had surgery. I think I was in the middle. I left before them and never saw them up. I did hear nurses tell the they would feel better sooner. I think I did. 3. Don't wait until the next day to get meds. I was prescribed the Tylenol with Codeine, and a few for nausea. Luckily, no nausea, but the Tylenol DID help me sleep and nap. 4. You're gonna be exhausted, so rest well, and walk around the house.

So happy to hear the positive feedback.. I have surgery tomorrow and I'm going thru all the anxiety feelings.. I was so snappy yesterday and hungry.. I thought about backing out but I know it's not the right thing to do.. Keep us informed so we know what to expect.. Good Luck!

Tell your Husband Thank You too.. My husband was in the Marines during the first gulf war.. He never seen war tho.. You should check out this blog! www.queenofcrop It's a women who wrote a blog about her journey. She actually had surgery while traveling different countries with her husband for a year. It would probably ease a lot of your worries. Best of luck on the 9th!!! (My husbands birthday is the 9th & he is a Navy Gulf War Vet). Please tell your son we thank him for his service!

I'm having Gastric Sleeve July 9th and leaving for a 9 day vacation in California August 1st, we are flying there.. We will be busy the entire time.. A lot of walking.. Does anyone have advice for me.. I would appreciate it.. I really don't want to change the surgery date. I been waiting for this for a long time.. Thanks in advance!

Good Luck! Keep us posted! Mine is Wednesday!

I am also having surgery July 9th.. Are you a mix of emotions like me?.. I hear stories about people who gain all the weight back and keep thinking if that's going to happen to me.. I have to think more positive.. We can't set ourselves up to fail.. Good Luck!!! Stay Positive.. I too am on July 9th. And have the same fear of this not working. I have failed at everything else!

Surgery is 2 days away.. I almost gave up this morning.. Being on the post op diet since Thursday has been a real challenge.. Then I sprained my ankle and tore some ligaments.. Calling my Dr, this morning and telling him what happened.. I sure hope he doesn't post pone surgery.. I can barely walk.. It seems to always be something!..

So glad you made the list.. My surgery is Wednesday and I think I'm so nervous and having a little anxiety I just can't think of what to do or bring.. I suppose these feelings are normal.. I hope so anyway.. On the prep phase now!

I'm just outside Kansas City.. Sleeve surgery July 9th!.. Nervous, excited, worried.. I hope these are all normal feelings.!

It's getting close and I am nervous and have major headaches being on the prep phase of only protein shakes and broth!
