Dec 18th sleevers i still feel awful



Recommended Posts

How are the 18th sleevers taking in fluids And dealing with nausea and gas! I've been having to have my husband burp me. And I'm still stuck laying down. The recliner has become my best friend! Laying down flat makes me feel bad!

You will feel better by this afternoon or tomorrow.. The first 3 days are the worst with the gas pain and nausea..

Walk everywhere no much gas or no gas at all.. Being able to drink about 35 to 45 oz of Fluid and 45gm of protein.. I am doing much better

I was taking gas and heart burn medicine. I am 8 days post op. I agree with the writer up above that I was second guessing myself the second day. I agree - keep walking and just sipping. It will get better. Everyone recovers different. You should start to see improvement soon.

definitely do not take motrin products. they will irritate the heck out of your sleeve. just tylenol or whatever you doc prescribed. i have been thinking "what have i done" since i woke up from surgery. all i can think about is what i'll never be able to eat again. i have a lot of rumbling in my belly and not a whole lot is agreeing with my sleeve. having trouble getting in all my Fluid and Protein. i'm getting in about 40 grams protein. i am so sick of Protein Shakes already. on the positive side i've lost 9lbs already. i'm sure it's just Water weight but it's 9 lbs of something i didnt need!

Well it's great to know I am not alone :). I came home from the hospital and felt great. The next day was a sharp downturn. I felt horrible. It has been getting better each day since then (i am 5 days post op). I still have periods during the day that aren't great and others where I feel pretty good. I am doing pretty well with getting Protein and fluids in. I don't like the Isopure but able to get it in and keep it down. I also get pain in my chest from time to time and find if I stand and move around it helps. Not much gas from the bottom but I can now belch like the best of them :). Looking forward to getting some additional variety in my diet in a few days. The broth, Isopure, and Water thing is getting old. I have been afraid to try Jello. Has anyone tried and had any issues? I didn't drink enough when I took one of my pills and it got stuck and spooked me a bit.

No issues with Jello - it really helped. I hit week 2 a few days ago so I get creamed soups! Is it sad to be excited for creamed Soups? !!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
