This is very inspirational!! At 12 days post op I've had some good and bad days but can't wait to see the results. All the best to you!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's interesting. I thought the largest incision would be on the left side as that's where the stomach is located. I guess different surgeons have different techniques. Hope you are recovering well. All the best.

Hi Guys, I went from feeling absolutely human to today were I feel absolutely horrible. I feel nauseated and weak. I'm trying to get Water down me. I have no desire to 'eat' and drink today but I'm making myself. I'm 12 days post op. Anyone ever gone backwards? Is this normal? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks guys. I guess it's to be expected. I've had some soup and starting to feel better.

I'm still on liquids and sick of them now. I start puréed foods on Tuesday and so looking forward to it. I thought I was past the yucky, tired blah feeling but I guess I'm not. I have been walking loads the last few days but today can't get out of bed to walk. Hope tomorrow will be better. Thanks for you input guys. Just going to have an in bed and Netflix day today.

I'm post op day 12 and the biggest incision hurts. I had 6 incisions. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I know itching at the incision site is a good sign that I'm healing but OMGosh my itching is keeping me up at night. Anyone experience this as you were healing? Thank God I still have plasters on my incisions until Sunday but after that it will be soooooo tempting to scratch. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You might be right. I took the plasters off today and I haven't itched ????

10 days post op and I'm finally starting to feel human. People said I would but I couldn't believe them after the first week. I'm able to drink more and take more than small sips to get Water in. Today I walked the most I've walked since surgery 4000 steps. I don't feel drained or tired. Eating a bit more bit by bit. The gas is pretty much none existent as I've made myself walk EVERYDAY!! For those of you that have just been sleeved please know it gets better. It may not seem like it at the moment but it will. All the best to you all!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Awesome!! It does get better and the weight is pouring off. The pain is worth the benefits!!

You're right about the pain meds. I stopped them at day 4 post op because I wasn't in pain as such but just LOTS of gas!! I walked as much as possible and drank.

No, are you drinking enough fluids? I've started using natural fibre in my shakes as well some kind of husk can't remember the name of it. What I have noticed is my bowel movements are quite running. Apparently that is to be expected when you are on theiquid diet

I'm having high protein runny yoghurts, protein shakes. I've tried soups but for some reason my stomach doesn't like hot foods at the moment only room temperature.

Hi Kel, It's been a struggle to get the foods and drink down for me. The last couple of days have been good though. I'm still on liquids as well. I start puréed foods next Thursday which I'm excited about. Been pintresting like mad for the puréed stage getting ideas. I lost 17lbs pre-op and 12lbs so far after surgery. It's good to feel good again. Never thought I'd get here after the first week.

Shoulder pain is something else. I've had it for 2 days now. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

You can always add Protein powder to the baby food to get the protein in. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm 9 days post op and not eating enough I know. I have no desire for food. I've now set myself a reminder to have my shakes now. I hope that helps. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I had sleep problems pre surgery and have worse sleep problems after surgery. I'm hoping this will get better because I can't keep waking up at 4am and going back to sleep at 6am and try to work too!!

Agreed. I have a few more days on liquids and looking forward to puréed lol. I have put on an ab binder to help with the itching.

Oh gosh I'm only 9days post-op if it gets any worse OMGosh
