Tomorrow is 1 week post op for me! I have had so many moments of what the heck did I do. I sobbed to my nurse in the phone 4 days post op. She called me today to make sure I was okay bc she knew I was down. I can't even say it's the "food" that bothers me.... I'm more stressed with what if I have issues... I know me stressing is not helping so I'm back on my anxiety meds. I KNOW I did this for the right reasons. I just try to remind myself that this summer I will be chasing chasing my 3 kids around the yard and feeling wonderful! I have read so many people have this feeing so it's completely normal. I'm taking it one day at a time. Hang in there!

Same here! It's come and gone but this evening it seems worse (mostly after I ate a little tomato soup). Blah!

Glad you went to ER! I was going to say I thought I read that was a sign of clot in lung. Glad it's nothing too serious. Get better!

I can also have yogurt (1 week post op). They gave me a sample menu and it has 1/4-1/2 cup for me to have. I used a toddler bowl and spoon and out 1/2 cup in it. I didn't eat it all. I could have ate more (probably ate half) but i was scared! Lol

You look amazing!! I was just sleeved on 3/10! I am in the "what the hell did I do stage?!?" But seeing pics like this make me happy!

I was sleeved 3/10. Just today I feel like I can drink and not get that burpy feeling every time! Last night was the first night that I layed down for bed and my stomach/throat didn't "talk" to me!

Demons as in crazy gargling bubbling noises??

Sleeved 3/10. I'm trying to sip my Water but the heartburn/bubble I feel after every sip is horrible! Maybe my sips are too big?? I did have about 4 bites of applesauce in a toddler spoon and that went down fine. I was scared to try anymore. I'm really confused on what I should be attempting at this stage. I'm on full liquids (Protein shakes, applesauce, cream Soup, sf jello/pudding/Popsicles).

I do have an acid blocker but yesterday was my first day for it(they are having me break it open and put it on my applesauce. Guessing that takes a day or two to kick in. I will have to try some Vitamin Water or some diet V8 splash. I know what I'm allowed to have I'm just unsure how often I should be eating it? Do I do 3 meals? I really don't have any appetite.

Me too!

Also i completely sobbed on the phone today when the nurse called me for a follow up. She asked me if i had a "what the hell did I just do" moment. Sure did -since the hospital. She assured me it's completely normal and it will get better. I can't wait for it to get better!

I was also sleeved 3/10. I totally feel you. Before surgery I was drinking about 90 oz of water a day... Today which is almost over, I have maybe 30 oz. So frustrating.

I survived. nurses were so nice about it and assured me that is quite common.

I was sleeved on 3/10. I sort of layes on my side in the hospital on night 2. The nurse pushed a pillow under my back. Last night was my first night home and I slept in my bed and started on my right side and middle of night switched to left side. It was sore at first to get in that position but once there it was great! I rolled up a blanket and put it under my belly.

How long until a can take a drink and not feel like there is pressure/air in me. Pretty uncomfortable! I was sleeved 3/10.

Hi everyone! My surgery was 3/10. First two days were hell! Way harder then my 3 c/sections. I was not expecting all the gas pain in the tummy as well as the nauseous feeling. Dry heaving has made my stomach really sore. Walking does help. Right now I have to get my liquids in. Still feels weird to drink.... Like I have to burp all the time. I've asked myself a few times what the heck have I gotten myself into. I should be able to go home tonight which I think will help because then I can get the stomach drain and iv out.

I was sleeved this a.m. The gas pain is horrible! If it wasn't for that I would be feeling great! Someone please tell me it gets better tomorrow. I have walked and that felt great but I'm so tired and on lots of pain meds which doesn't seem to help a ton.

Re: shower - I always took one in the hospital after my c-sections and it felt amazing!

I have a 2, 5, 7 year old. I haven't told them anything yet really. I'm just going to tell them that the dr is going to make me healthier and that I have to stay in a hospital for 2 nights.

35 (surgery is in 3 days)

I'm on day 12 of 14. I think what helped me a ton was drinking a ton of water (I add the crystal light lemonade packets). This really kept me "full". I'm down 14lbs which I think has helped motivate me! I'm hoping to hit the 15 pound mark (I had a weight stall when I hit 12 lbs for 2 days).

I know it's the fear of the unknown.... Between this and the drain (post below) my anxiety is raising! What does it feel like to be put under? Just a nap?

Surgery is one week from tomorrow! I can't get over the fear of the drain! The whole idea of it sticking out where I can see it and the thought of it being painful when in and when being pulled out scares the crap out of me! I know I stay two days in hospital and it will come out day 2.

Day 2 of pre-op diet of full liquids. I can say this is the Hardest thing I've ever done! I'm hungry but it's more that I want something to actually chew and not just swallow. It is what it is! I'm going to keep pushing through. one bonus is I thought it would be really hard because of my addiction to Pepsi... But surprisingly I haven't even craved one. Just a big headache but my oils take care of that!
