I've been sleeved!

I had my surgery 12/11. I had extremely severe nausea/vomiting in post-anethesia and throughout the first 24hrs post-op. I was given IV meds but nothing helped. There was very little pain, just soreness over 2 of my 5 incision sites. I got through my leak test, keeping the contrast down just long enough for the test to be done before puking that up. Then I willed myself to take a few spoonfulls of both, Jello, and crystal light so that I could go home. By yesterday morning I felt 100% better. Full of gas, somewhat nauseous, a little sore but so much better.

The only appealing food to me has been popsicles. Today I plan to make an honest attempt to get some Isopure in. Other than that, I'm sip sip sipping Water.< /p>

I was excited to get home from the hospital and see I had lost 7 pounds already!! Woohoo!

Congrats on your surgery, and continue to sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk.

Congrats on those 7lbs ! ! !

Great job Kelly! I threw up the stuff they had me drink for the leak test and it set me back like a half a day. I'm glad you're home and feeling better. Walking really seemed to help for the gas relief. Good luck!

Kelly, glad to hear you are sleeved and doing well. I had the severe nausea as well. They kept telling me to get up and and walk, and every time I did, I ended up vomiting. It wasn't pleasant, but it did pass. Continue to keep us posted on how you are doing.

Thank you all for your support! I am feeling great now 4 days post-op. I got out of the house yesterday and today which felt great. My post-op appointment with the surgeon is tomorrow so I'm anxious for the weigh in and hoping to get the OK for full liquids. Feeling a little anxious about having the desire to eat more than liquids. It's not like I want a huge sandwich, but just a few bites of mushed turkey meatballs or some cottage cheese sounds delicious. Should I be concerned about feeling this way, or does it just mean I'm healing well?
