lizbeth, I got my sleeve on the 13th. how are you doing? how much liquid can you get in a day? I am still only able to get around 40 ounces of liquid. I get chest pains with sips of liquids. do you? how is your abdominal pain doing? 3 of my 5 incision sites are fine for me, no pain at all. 2 of them are extremely tender (the 2 on the far left...one had the drain. the other just plain hurts, don't know why). coughing is extremely painful for me still. I don't take my pain meds because they make me want to vomit. is your abdomen still tender to the touch? have you lost anything or gained from surgery? I lost 18 pre-op diet but gained 15 back in the hospital from IV/liquid retention. I have lost 10 of them but I'm still 5 up from surgery. depressing! I don't know the timeline for when I should be feeling better and able to get more liquids in. I'd love to hear about your experience so far.

Hi! I'm new to the site, so please forgive any posting errors. I had surgery on the 12th. I started feeling awesome until the left shoulder pain set in last night. So, I'm walking, walking, walking. I'm down four pounds since op on Monday. I still have abdominal tenderness but no drainage, so yay. It hurts to cough, sneeze, etc. but I feel better every day. As for liquid intake- I'm doing the 2 oz of Protein shake every four hours and I'm drinking Water continuously. So far no problems with nausea or vomit just shoulder pain.

Thanks for posting. It's nice to hear about what others r experiencing. I wish u a speedy recovery.

I also had my sleeve on the 13th and felt great yesterday. Today I woke up and my lower back is hurting with the occasional pain by my shoulder blade. Should I be worried about this?

Shoulder pain can be related to the anesthesia. My surgery was on the 12th also. I had the back pain yesterday, today its gone. My surgeon said on my left is a very deep internal suture where they removed the stomach, and it will cause discomfort for quite awhile. My left side is sure uncomfortable, but not enough to take meds. If I sit still, I feel no pain at all.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
