So I had my sleeve gastrectomy on Monday at around 2 pm EDT.. it's now 107 am on Thursday early morning.. and I just got out of the hospital earlier today.. so far all I've had is half orange juice/half water.. about 45 ounces or so and now I have a big container of room temp water.. that I've sort of been sipping on the last hour.. ok only one sip so far.. but ya.. I'm trying my best to deal with all the pain and stuff.. it's not super easy but I'm ok. Just wanted to share where I was at.. this has been a long process getting to this point and it's almost surprising to me that I really full on went through with the surgery.. no regrets.. I'm happy I did it.. I just want it to stop hurting when I try and drink something hah.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Well.. just had along.. with other things my first post op surgeon consult.. it went pretty well I think.. the scale showed a good number which was cool.. down 23 lbs since last monday.. so that's nice.. still have a pretty long road ahead of me but that was a nice thing to see. Highest weight = 497 Surgery weight = 474 Current weight = 451 Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm too heavy for normal scales still.. so on the bright side this isnt an issue.. 9 days post op. I see my surgeon tomorrow for my first post surgery consult.. and I'll see what I've lost since. Hw: 495 Sw:475 Cw:? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

As well as like a crawling sensation at the bottom of my throat.. which makes me feel nauseous Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

It's an uncomfortable feeling of fullness and pressure right in the middle of my gut. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Just wondering.. has anyone dealt with a feeling of pressure in your stomach that lasts a couple days? Been dealing with this since yesterday.. still hasn't gone away.. going to go for a walk with my mom this afternoon.. hopefully that will give me some relief.. walking is still tough for me.. I'm still very heavy.. so I get winded fast. But ya my surgery weight was 475 down from 495 at my highest.. I have my first post op consult on Thursday so I'll see what I've lost since last monday.. had surgery on the 22nd. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Good luck to all you November people.. I just had my surgery on the 22nd of October. Been dealing with some not so amazing side effects the last couple days.. but as with everything.. it is only temporary. Good luck all. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 8 days and I've been dealing with some complications.. talked to the nurse and they said it's normal to feel uncomfortable. Just have to live with it for now. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Drinking warm water now.. seeing if it helps Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Called the office.. nurse told me the feeling may be phlegm.. and that it's normal I haven't gone no. 2 yet.. and that it's normal to feel strange.. so that's good.. I didnt tell her about the chocolate:p I will tell my surgeon when i have my first post op consult thursday.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

No more chocolate I guess idk if that's what did it.. was only one Hershey kiss but still not gonna chance that in the future.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

But that's the thing.. oh.. ya.. I had one Hershey kiss.. ugh.. also I tried to eat 5 Ritz crackers but spit them out after I chewed them but I guess some of the cracker got down.. just hard to believe the negative effects of that would last so long.. it's almost been a full day since that.

Just put a suppository in.. well see what that does.. if anything. This is frustrating. 2 days ago I was super hungry.. now that's all gone but my stomach feels like crap and now I have a weird taste in my mouth.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Been suffering with a feeling of light nausea, stomach pressure and the slight feeling something's sitting in my throat since yesterday.. not sure what's going on.. feel pretty crappy. Still have yet to use the bathroom, hoping that's not what's causing this.. praying for it to get better.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

It's been almost a week since my procedure.. haven't been able to go to the bathroom yet.. passed a decent amount of gas but no no. 2, I just took 2 stool softeners hopefully those help.. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Saturday morning.. stomach has been rumbling like crazy since last night.. I still feel hungry.. but like full at the same time.. well not full.. but like it feels like theres something there.. I tried to convince the fam that low fat string cheese wouldn't be a bad option.. and got shot down so fast.. oh well.. here's to more watered down juice hah.. was told by the fam that they noticed my legs were losing fat in them.. it's only been almost a week.. 5 full days now.. hard to believe its noticable already but who knows?
