emelia.larock 6 Posted April 4, 2012 Hey everyone I was sleeved on Monday at 8 am...I'm still in the hospital due to the amount of pain I'm having...and the strokes hurt really bad...it does feel like everyone else said, like period cramps and a thousand sit ups that I wasn't ready for...I am so glad I had this forum so I knew about the cough pillow and gas x strips...they have saved me...the only thing in concerned with is I am weighing in at 10 l s more than I was when I got here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cassieh 136 Posted April 4, 2012 I weighed 9 pounds more when I came out of surgery than I did when I went into surgery. I think it's due to all the liquids they give you via IV. Sorry you are having so much pain and I hope for a speedy recovery for you. I am 6 days post op and feeling ok. Good luck and God bless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vance_ 217 Posted April 4, 2012 Congrats on joining the club! Although I wasn't one of them, I hear a lot of people gain weight the first few days. Don't worry, you will be losing in no time at all! Sorry you are in so much pain. It will subside here real soon. Take care and keep us informed! And again, CONGRATS!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joycelyn 19 Posted April 6, 2012 I'm glad your doing ok. I gained two lbs being in hospital, but I lost 3 this morning, I am not getting in all my protien. Nothing taste good, the nectar makes me gag. I have a question? Is it ok to have the juice from pinto Beans. They smell so good and I'm starving Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

favoredone 590 Posted April 6, 2012 Congrats!!! It gets better each day... Trust me!!! Just walk as much as you can.. and practice getting out of bed alone, if you're not already doing that... It definitely helped me prepare for moving around at home...Blessings and a speedy recovery... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
