Post-Surgery Swelling



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on March 16th and have not had many problems at all since I came home. I can drink the Protein shakes just fine and am getting all my liquids in (with Water or crystal light). Mornings seem to be the hardest for me...just trying to get out of bed, but once I move around I feel pretty good.

I do however still feel terribly bloated and am 2.5 lbs over my surgery weight.

I was wondering when everyone else's bloating and swelling from surgery went away?

I was sleeved on March 10 and just noticed the swelling going down this weekend, March 19 or so. I'm still kind of swollen but it has diminished a lot.

I gained 6 pounds in the hospital! My stomach was so huge for the first week post op, I couldn't get my pants on.

I vowed to not step on a scale until doctor's visits, at least for a while. I refuse to measure my sucess by my weight. I was sleeved 3/3/11, a month has gone by and I am still a little bloated. However, my clothes are fitting - and even a little loose now.

Hang in there! Time and good nutrition will heal our bodies.
