Hi Everyone! I had my sleeve surgery and umbilical hernia repair on 3/8. I've had a rough recovery. A lot of gas from anything I drink on my liquid diet(water,protein shakes,broth,sugar free jello, sugar free ice pops). Even water! It hurts and causes pressure sometimes in different areas of my belly, sometimes it hurts like a charlie horse for 5 secs, then goes away. Even the smallest sip, cause a "bubbling" feeling and discomfort in my stomach. My hernia was repaired with a mesh. That is also very tender, and I have very tight & sore abdominal muscles. I can't bend without discomfort. I'm reading all these posts about ppl feeling pretty well after surgery, but i'm having a very slow recovery and feeling discouraged. Anyone else having/had a recovery like me? And umbilical hernia repair when sleeved?

@@JamieLogical Wow! A half marathon?!? Way to go! That's great to hear your blood work is good & you're maintaining goal weight. I can't wait until I can say those words. Someday I will. Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you soooooo much! It is soooo good to hear that other had/have difficulty in the beginning. I'm sorry you were dehydrated and ended back in the hospital. Great job with a lot of weight loss in only 6 months! You're an inspiration. Thanks for the encouraging words! ???? Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App
