Cleared for cardio and light weights training (less than 15 pounds) 2 weeks post-op. Clearly not the norm.

Im 9 days post op and cannot stomach the flavored/sweet proteins. I bought whey proteins without any fillers or taste, just pure whey, and it mixes very well in water and does not have a taste!! Might be worth looking into it. I'm sorry you are struggling with hunger, this must be pretty hard

Thanks for answering. Today is back to normal, ouff!!

QUICK OVERVIEW: 8 days post-op Gastric sleeve No problem drinking. Not really eating/no appetite. Ok for proteins shakes and electrolytes. Lost 10 pounds in a week Feeling permanently bloated/full despite not eating, and stomach is still swollen/distended. Gas pain went away on day 3. Pain came back in left shoulder, on&off since day 6 No pain whatsoever inside the belly (the actual stomach) since surgery, except today it started. Thought I was maybe hungry so I had a bit of liquid food (as per my plan). Did not help. It's not excrutiating but very uncomfortable pain right in the middle of stomach area. I did a lot more today (walking, errands, etc).... and i had sex yesterday No other symptoms. No fever, no nausea, etc. Could it be a leak?? (Also, I'm anxious naturally)

I'm 2 days (and a half!) post op. Constipation is intense after surgery! This worked for me (if you can squat): fill thr bathtub with just enought water to cover your bum when squatting, water as hot as you can tolerate, and relax every muscles. Stuff should start coming out without pain. Do NOT strain, just relax. Yes it's a mess, you have to clean after, but last resort? it works.

how did it go?

I haven't had a leak test eighter.....

I'm 2 days (30h) post sleeve, back home from the hospital. Have not taken any pain medication pass the 24h mark. The gas having greatly reduced, I feel better. I'm not really in pain, what is annoying me the most is the random nauseas.

Sugar withdraw would make sense. Feeling better today. Thanks for taking the time to answer

Feeling better?

1st day of pre-op diet for me. 4 shakes + 4 cups of veggies per day. I'm relatively ok except I feel something similar to shaking but inside... Don't know if I'm making sense? I'm not physically shaking but I feel like my inside is shaky....... Just want to know if someone else had this and it went away. Thanks!

So... I just got approved! ☺

I've read it helps if you add moisture to your food before re-heating (ex: a little bit of bouillon to your meat)

I am pre-op but I bought a bottle carrier (small bag with strap) and plan on carrying my water with me EVERYWHERE. I`ll be that dork with the bottle carrier, yeah....... oh well! 😆

After gastric sleeve, yes or no? I asked the surgeon, he didn`t seem to care eighter way. Do you have to wear them, can I buy it without prescription, and how long do you have to wear them? I`m already active now, BMI 40. I plan on walking, walking, walking after surgery. Thanks!
