This is the first post from me prior to surgery. I was sleeved 3/19 and stayed 3 nights in hospital. Blood pressure was high heart rate was low. All day on day 2 I had nausea and puking up black ( old blood) which was normal smh. I was afraid to leave the hospital lol I thought they could take care of me God forbid anything. I'm a chicken lol. Since I'm home I force myself 2 drink perhaps 16 oz a day but starting tomorrow I will get on track. I have nooooooo desire to eat but that always is the case with me after surgery. I had a cpl ice pops, Isopure Protein, some oatmeal and that's all. I have no interest in getting on scale till I get staples out this week. As far as BM! I had one Thursday and since then if I have to pee I have a little Very very little diarrhea tmi but sharing. I had my drain out and honestly for me it was fine...just odd. Anyone sleeping on their side yet? I hate to sleep on my back I prefer side or belly. My worst pain has been my neck and shoulders I don't know if that is gas or because I kept falling asleep sitting up. And my head would hang lol. I hope we all continue feeling better and do awesome!

Cut sweet things with Water, also take more than one gas x strips at a time. Popsicles were my saving grace

[mykidsinspireme 17]

This is so helpful hearing everyones story, and to know I'm not alone. I was sleeved on the 20 th and having a time getting my Protein in, I can't eat sweet things, and I'm nauseous a lot. What did you'll do for nausea.

HI all

3/19/13/ sleever here. Gas was one of my major issues ..i walked miles in that hospital all night long. when i finally got home i slept for

2 hours . when i got up my calves were killing me. Today i can finally say i halve no calf pain. the walking does help alot. i have gone out everyday with my hubby. I get very tired but we go for a ride and the bumps in the car are a bit annoying but i think they helped with the gas a bit .. I kno this sounds ridiculouis but I figured i would share .everyime i let out gas it was like i was a child ,,i would do the happy dance ... crazy huh!!!!!!! I still have gas issues but much much less. good luck to all

I have been sleeping on my side since I got home two days post op. I cannot sleep on my back either. I had masses on my thyroid that if I was on my back would crush my airways. Since then I have a fear of sleeping on my back. My surgeon never said I couldn't but I also never asked him either. I have always been one to sleep in one position all night. I would not lean in where my stomach was on tje bed or even resting in a pillow as I normally do but I do on just my side so I don't touch anything.

My surgeon gave me a script for zofran. It dissolves under your tongue for nausea. I haven't had to use it yet. But maybe ask your surgeon or pcm?

Sleeved on March 20th. Feeling ok. HUGE tummy noises. Doing my best on fluids and Protein but no where near where I should be. Only physical concern is sleeve/tummy spasms. Anyone else hae these? Some emotional ups and down, buyer's remorse, sadness, mourning the old me that could be comforted with food. Scard. AND all will be well. I made a good decision. In a few weeks all of this will be a distant memory. Good luck to all!

[phutch824 7]

I am able to sleep on either side for about 2 days now. Sleeved 3/19. To all of you afraid to get on the scale just do it! I have lost about 2 lbs a day since surgery! It helps to motivate and energize to see the number coming down even when you still feel yucky.
