You are lucky! I have followed the plan 100% also but most of my issues were before fluids, or stage 1 diet started. My nausea & gas pain was so bad at the hospital that they thought I was having a heart attack & did an EKG & blood work the first night. I walked a lot, I didn't overly use my pain pump because I knew the pain wasn't from my incisions, but the gas. I am doing everything by the book. I followed the two week liver shrinking diet and lost 16lbs. My surgeon said everything went very smooth. I don't know why I had so much pain & discomfort but it definitely wasn't anything I did & I wouldn't wish it on anybody! I know this is all temporary & it will get better but wow those first few days were rough! I hope things get better for you sweetie

I guess it's have to say I'm one of the lucky ones, as I've not experienced and of the negative effects I've seen such as nausea, vomiting, gas pains, cold chills, etc... I'm following my Dr's plans to a T and it's been smooth sailing for me, and I'm 4 days post op and starting on regular liquids today. Was able to have 2 protein shakes and a nonfat Greek yogurt today, and thankfully, no issues... Good Luck Everyone that is experiencing issues, I hope it gets better for you all.

Para-thighs - my dr told me about this great liquid vitamin, I take 1 ounce of it each morning with no issues at all. I'm starting on a 5 ounce container of Greek yogurt now, let's see how long this takes lol

I had mine Wednesday as well, and I'm feeling good. No cooler then what I was before... we live in Washington state so it's been in the high 50's low 60's here

Day 4 post op - First day on non clear liquids and it took me 3 hours to drink an 11 ounce premier protein drink... Ugh, this is going to be a long day LOL

Home finally, feeling great, lots of fluids in and day 2 of my clear liquids. I'm also getting about 30-40 mins of walking in each day too. The only thing that freaks me out is I never feel hunger... I've had nothing but water or enhanced water with protein & fiber from Wal-Mart but I'm feeling fine. Good Luck @@mechele8 I found it in the aisle with all the other water enhancer ad ins. It's in a tan box, 2 flavors. Strawberry banana, orange and mango peach. Great stuff there.

Thanks jjinwa! I'm feeling great, thankfully none of the negative effects like nausea, vomiting, tiredness, etc.

The worse issue for me is the gas release I've had, but it's all good now. Other than that, no nausea, no vomiting, none of that bad stuff. I'm sure to intake 1 ounce of water within a 15 min time period. The scale I have shows my water % also, I'm right on my zone :-)

Thanks Para, I feel amazing.

Chrystee, I have only used my pain meds at night just as a precaution, because I tend to move around a lot in my sleep and try to sleep on my tummy. Other than that, nope, no need.

Day 3 Post-Op and I'm feeling great! To be honest, I'm rather surprised based on things that I've read and people that I've talked to that have had the same surgery. Many were saying they were very tired, still in pain, etc, but not here... I'm still on clear liquids through the rest of the day today (mainly just had Water or water with a Protein & fiber enhancement in it) but feeling really good, lots of energy. I was able to get back to my "norm", ran some errands this morning, got about 30 mins of walking in, was sure to keep my water bottle with me and sip sip sip smile emoticon

You are in my thoughts. Hope all is going well for you! Everything went perfectly, I'm home now and feeling great. On day 2 of clear liquids and getting about 30 mins of walking in. I'm so happy it's finally done.

I have a handy app on my phone to remind me to drink every 15 mins

My Dr won't do it if you're under the weather in any way. Loss up on the zicam zinc melt away tablets, they work wonders along with some Echinacea tea

I can't believe how much energy I have! I've hardly slept but feel like I'm ready to face the world!

Congrat???????? so glad you're doing good!! THANKS SO MUCH! I'm so ready to go home and start my new life. :-)

OFFICIAL SLEEVER NOW!!! Had a great first day, lots of fluids, got up and did some laps around the nurse's station, had some friends and family come visit. Going home in a few hours. :-)
