HEY there Sleevers! I am four days post op and feeling better. The soreness is improving, which is a good thing.

I am still on my 3 sips and stop rule...tried to simply 'sip' some Water and ended up in a bit of pain. It's best to stick to my trusty teaspoon for now I think.

I have not vomited yet, but have had a couple bouts of nausea. I was trying to figure out what brought them on and lo and behold - it happens when I take my medication. It used to be so easy to take the entire pill, chug some water and keep it moving. Apparently, my sleeve doesn't like the whole pill at once. So, I am taking half at a time while I sip my Protein. It helps a LOT and last night - no nausea.

It's amazing how so much has changed. I used to be able to down a cup of coffee within minutes. Now, it takes HOURS to get 1/2 cup of Fluid down my gullet. I cannot believe I am the same person that, three weeks ago, could eat an entire medium sized pizza and still have wings on the side. I suppose that would explain why I was 320 lbs...LOL

Folks, I'm feeling pretty good, even though my stomach still sounds like Raging Rivers Water Park !!

Have a great day!

Hooray!! Glad you're feeling better -- you will get better and better all the time. At almost 9 mos. post op I can eat about 4 oz. at a time -- seems like an enormous amount of food, but compared to the pizza that I too was able to consume and ice cream, and other stuff, I still eat very little.

Day five was my turnaround day too- but I STILL set my phone timer to remind me to drink lest I fall behind by the end of the day.

COngratulations to both of yo on day 4 and welcome to the loser's bench!

Congratulations!!!! I've read a lot of posts from people who are having the same experience as you. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on June 15th and I'm praying I have as "uneventful" time as you! lol

Good luck and keep up the good work!!!
