Had Sleeve On 2/20/12

I was sleeved on the 20th too! Congrats to us all for taking this step to a new and improved life!!

I am really struggling with my Fluid intake as well. I am feeling good, just tired and tend to doze off several times a day which really gets in the way of my sipping. I am hoping that it all works itself out...

Ellidaisy-

I am scheduled with Dr. Tersigni March 12. How was your pain, nausea the first 2 or 3 days?

[srhame82 2]

Haven't had problem with nausea too much more of the trying to pass the gas has been my biggest problem but I am ready to start the second phase of my post op. I'm tired of Water want some cream soup....never thought I would be saying that rather than I want a cheeseburger....

I do have to say right out of surgery I think the hardest part was trying to breathe

When I was in the recovery room, I was having more issues with the nausea than the pain. They got it pretty much under control before I was discharged. As far as pain, I have been really lucky. I am very sore but able to walk around, ride in the car, visit with friends. I took my pain medication every 5-6 hours the first two days and I honestly believe that was my saving grace. I never let my pain get ahead of me those first couple of days. You will do so great.

I was also sleeved on 2/20/12 and I feel great! My only problems so far are that I KNOW I'm not getting in enough water! I'm soo thirsty..but sipping just ain't getting it! Also, I can't tolerate cold liquids hitting my pouch, so this is seriously affecting my Protein Shakes, which are gross warm/room temp. So tomorrow im switching to Protein "bullets". My surgeon tried to prepare me for all possibilities, so he had me stock up. My hope is that I will be able to tolerate cold shakes further down the line, because they are sooo good & so are protein smoothies. Adding chocolate Protein Powder to sugar free hot chocolate is delish also. If anyone has any ideas for me please share

I too am having trouble breathing...I'm a week out and if I walk more than like 50ft or stand on my feet too long I get very winded and it's hard to catch my breath. feels as if my diaphragm is being constricted. Did you go through this too?

[srhame82 2]

Yeah I'm 5 days out and I was like that my Dr said most ppl do tend to have shallow breathing after a stomach surgery u meed to get winded every now and again to make sure Fluid don't build on ur lungs
