I'm not sure which day I'm suppose to count from, day of surgery or when I got out of the hospital? I had my surgery on thursday the 13th so I'm on day 7 or 8.

I'm 16 days out. I've started on phase 2, soft food but I've also had numerous dumping incidents. I am still trying to eat by sight. I see a small portion and my brain tells me its fine, not too much. But my stomach soon tells me differently. I am working on eating slower and paying attention to my stomach, not my eyes. eggs are still not my friend, however refried Beans are heavenly. Just today I got to eat more than 3 or 4 bites before I was full. I mean, before I was full after 3 bites to the point that licking the spoon sent me running to the bathroom to throw up.

I was sleeved on the 17th too! I am still pretty miserable. Was feeling better this morning once everything started moving (pooping) and less bloated but now I am right back there looking like I am pregnant again this afternoon. I just don't get it. How can I still have so much air in me? I am starting to worry. Emotions are all over the place as well today which is strange. I think I am just sick of being in this house not able to do anything worthwhile and not having the energy to do other things. Definitely having "buyer's remorse" here on day 4.

I have been trying to poop but i can't. I really have to but i am scared to push to hard. What am i going to do. If i don't go this weekend i am going to call the doc on Monday. I can feel it but it hurts to strain and stuff. I know it is TMI but i need relief soon.

I'm ready to eat too! The Protein Shakes are ok but I want real food. My incisions are itching so bad today it's driving me crazy. My tape is still on but can't tell if I have stitches. The big incision still hurts that I have to take medicine to sleep. Zelada is great, he is so happy and upbeat that it relaxed me and I trusted him when he told me I would be fine through surgery. My risks were higher because my bmi is so high and me being a single mom made me very scared.

Yeah for me....finally pooped this evening. Have been getting my Water in and walking several times a day ....think I covered 2 miles today...in four walks. My little dog is happy that he is getting taken out for walk more .

To all of you that are having emotional ( crying ) episodes....this is a post op thing after anesthesia. Just go ahead and get it out of your system.

I still burping a lot. Glad I found this thread to have the emotional and knowledge support of others going through similar things as me.

Praying for all of us!!

I'm 3 days post op.. everything seems to be great... except I'm having major headaches. Anyone else experiencing this problem

I was sleeved on the 19th. I have not taken any pain meds. I did have a little nausea. My issue now is the gas. I am sipping very slowly and very little at a time but still getting the gas pain. I started walking right after surgery and went walking once I got home with no problems. Because of the gas pain I'm afraid I'm not getting enough fluids in. Any suggestions.
