I was sleeved yesterday...everything went well and made it to my room about 3:30. The gas pains are unbearable and they have me some gas strips. Walking is a nightmare and my left side is the most painful. It's just describable pain. I hope everyone else is doing better than me right now.

I'm the same boat. I was sleeved Monday afternoon. The pain is crazy. I can barely sit up better yet walk around. The gas.pains just started today. I have gas x strips but I am not allowed to take them :( I'm still in the hospital a little nervous about being released while I'm in this much pain. I plan to walk a lot today maybe that will help tremendously.

These first few days will be rough but we can make it through. Stay strong!

I too was in horrible pain from the time I woke up and the pain meds did not cut it. My dr asked me if I wanted to stay an extra day and iam so glad I did. It was a lot better the next day.

You have to make yourself walk, then lay on your left side and try to release the gas...

I was sleeved Monday and the walking really does help. The pain was really bad until I forced myself to get up and walk. It really does get better so hang in there.

I was sleeved on 2/20 and the pain afterwards was horrible. I felt like I jumped off the Empire State Building and was then hit by a diesel. My nurse was giving me Tylenol through my I'VE but that wasn't helping. I asked for something stronger so they gave me morphine. That did help and made me sleepy, which was fine. The pain lasted for about 2 days. I was prescribed Vicodin but haven't used it at all. I feel fine now. Still sore and move a little slow, but overall pain free.

      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.
