Post op march sleevers

[magpie30 187]

Thank you to everyone who responded, today was/ is my first real rough day emotionally and it's been quite a ride. I'm starting to feel more positive, and trying to remind myself that i'm only 5 days post op. I can't expect to be feeling great and perfect and normal 5 days after major life altering surgery. You guys have really helped me through today, thank you so much! :wub:

Eating my Jello cup one tiny thumbnail bite at a time, i remember being able to down one of these in three bites. This was definately a good choice.

The food I can't wait to eat is a double bacon extra pickle cheeseburger with no bun. NO BUN! My brain is making the necessary changes. Go brain!

Everyone seems to be feeling a lot of the same emotions. Helps that if we're crazy at least we aren't alone!

I had a melt down over the Beyonce documentary in HBO this afternoon so I think it must just be an adjustment thing. I've been tearful all afternoon. LOL! Not sad, just tearful.

Went to lunch with a friend- got Soup. Came home rested and just got home from Walmart. So physically I think I'm doing great. I'm still needing a good bit of rest but I'm more upbeat than I was a few days ago! My heating pad is still my BFF though.

I'm postop day 5 and I keep feeling better every day! MAKING myself drink everything I'm supposed to was the hardest part today! I

I was sleeved on the 7th. Came home yesterday, everything seems ok so far. Mostly no pain, except when I move. But sometimes my stomach kind of cramps up. Does this happen to you guys? Good luck all! We can do this!

Take it from me carefully follow your liquid diet, eat slow drink lots of Water

So i just had a mini melt down crying and wondering why i did this to my body and if it was the right thing to do. I guess just feeling really emotional today and gettin gcaught up in the discomfort and all the suckieness that is the first few weeks post op. Anyone else felt this way?

I have had a melt down myself today. I take Prozac 10 days before my cycle. When my cycle begins all the emotions disappear. I am fading from mu cycle now but today has been a very emotional day.

Scott your stomach cramping may be from gas.

Yessssssss last night I was laying watching a movie very calm i must add and the next thing I new my heart was pounding out my chest hard and fast Like I just ran a 5k race or something. I'm not sure what that's about but I'm calling my doctor first thing Monday morning

What did the doctor say??

LaKimmie I know how you feel I tried watching that too, CRIED like a baby. I was like WTF? My mom came down to help with the kids while my Hubby is a work, she been scratching her head at me. This is all such a big adjustment, it truly is a life changing event. I have been going for walks with my Mom, it actually gives me time to clear my head. It's annoying that it takes 1 hour to eat a 1/2 cup of yogurt, but I just keep telling myself "Soon I will be happier and healthier" I just have to keep giving myself positive pep talks. Who knows by the middle of the week, I may be able to sit through Beyoncé documentary without CRYING!!

Thanks Scott, good advice! In doing better about fluids today. I really really need to walk more.

I was sleeved on Monday the fourth and I'm going back to work tomorrow! Ugh. I'm not in physical pain but I'm not back at 100% and I'm feeling really anxious. I think I can def do this tomorrow. Plus my job isn't strenuous but I don't want to be slacking too much. Maybe I'm thinking too much. Oh boy here come the emotions.

What did the doctor say??

She wasn't in today but they left her a message to call me first thing in the morning. I called my pcp didn't think to call WLS doctor. I will let u know what she says tomorrow :-)

Hi there - I too was sleeved on the 6th . I knew the next day I was super dehydrated !!!! After the foley came out I couldn't pee & had no urge . When I did my urine was dark brown . My mouth felt like the Sahara desert !!!! I ate ice chips like crazy . Hardly no nausea , some gas pains ; but I expected them . Finally after begging to be given fluids as I felt so dehydrated my pulse and heart rate went through the roof ! Then they wouldn't let me go home !!! Finally I started passing gas , peeing & by the time I left I'd actually gained weight from all my Fluid blouses !!! They may have bariatric beds but it still hurts so bad if your not tall enough to get in them all the way .!!!! I felt my incisions hurt way more than I Remembered my hysterectomy incision . Finally took a shower at home today & washed my hair ! Hard time getting all my Protein in as well . Some of the drinks I've tried are terrible . I also used the protein bouillon but added some off reg bouillon for better flavor . My weights finally going down ! For now all I can say is I'm truely not hungry ! Hope the healing continues !!!! Good luck to us all !!!

Hi Everyone' date=' I was sleeved on the 6th. Released yesterday the 9th. I had a very painful post op experience but am definitely on a healing trend now. My only issue now is sometimes I have pains in my stomach where it feels like someone is squeezing my stomach. It comes and goes a couple of times and then will go away for a few hours. I find it comes mostly after I wake up.. Anyone else have this? It's very painful. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Those are gas pains , just keep walking ...they go away . It's sore but it will pass .
