Well I am currently 10 hours post op. woke up feeling rather groggy but no bad pain. Only way I can describe it is on my left side slightly off centre I feel like someone has punched me really hard in the stomach. None of the other incision places hurt in the slightest. Have been allowed 30ml of Water every half an hour which is lovely and have saline drip in the back of my hand for other Fluid.

Like everyone else says the trapped wind/air in the body cavity is the worst thing. Initially had quite bad pain in my left shoulder from trapped air, which has now subsided. Been burping like a fool, and nurse has said that's really good.

Asked to get up and have walked the corridors of hospital 3 times so far

Got to stay in HDU overnight, but what service.... got a nurse all to myself!!

Hope everyone else who have been sleeved today has had a smooth ride, and best of luck to everyone who are having it done in the future.

So glad to hear you are doing so well. That left side pain is most likely where they took the stomach out of.

I wish you the best in the rest of your recovery. I hope all continues to go well. Thanks for the update.

Ok. Whew! LOL

So I had my procedure and was in a great deal of pain at first. I stared at the clock waiting for the 8 minutes to pass before I could press my pain med button again

I was groggy and pretty out of it.

I took several short naps and one substantial one. After that I got up to try walking but was so "intoxicated" that I could barely stand up. I used the ladies room and laid back down. I stopped taking the morphine and took another nap.

A couple hours after that, I was feeling much more with it and got myself up to use the ladies room and go out for a walk in the halls. Apparently I surprised everyone because they were all pretty impressed. LOL

So now I'm back in bed, sucking ice chips and sipping Water, waiting for my husband to return with my daughter :wub:

I wanted to post earlier but just couldn't get with it. Thank you so much for all the prayers, kind words, and encouragement. It really means a lot.

And congratulations to all the others that were sleeved today...We did it!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
