Today is day 5 since my sleeve. I have lost 9 pounds. There are times I feel great like I could jog the block & then there are times I feel nauseous. I haven't thrown up but I feel like I want to. Certain things I used to eat repulse me. My stomach feels like things are scratching it inside. I did have a hernia repair too but I doubt that would make the scratchy feeling...

You can't feel the staples inside can you?? Also I don't know how to tell when I'm full because I'm still on a liquid diet pretty much so I just eat a little bit at a time.

Mainly I've been dizzy off & on, nauseous off and on, and having these random shoulder pains come & go and my stomach makes all kinds of noise but no fever or un bearable pain... Does this sound normal? I hope I don't have a leak & don't know it... I know I sound paranoid but I'm just nervous

I don't know about the hernia, but when you say scratching, do you mean itchy, or that something is scraping against something else?

I felt a bit nauseous during my first week, and my first week still falls under when everything was going normal for me, so I think that is ok - I know that can be related to many things, including anesthesia.

Don't try to push it to full, set a really modest limit, but time it out so that you can have your nutrition often. 5 days out you shouldn't be eating anything, or at least I was told not to, liquids, purees, Jello was what I had at 5 days.

It's ok to be nervous, everyone is different but some discomfort is ok. Just remember - be concerned over the discomfort, etc. but be cautious as you feel good, too - just take it gradually, give your body time to recover as if, oh, say - you just had your stomach cut out

It feels like something is scraping my stomach on the way down from my mouth to my stomach. I've been eating Jello, Water, pudding, yogurt. All sugar free. I go for my follow up April 1st and I am supposed to eat an egg that morning. I can take small tiny pills too, they were giving me them in the hospital actually... I'm just scared what if I have a leak, how am I going to know

The scraping feeling is really normal you just had major surgery 5 days ago! you had all sorts of things shoved down your throat and you stomach was taken apart... Give it time to heal and don't unnecessarily worry about a leak. But If you develop severe pain and a fever then you should call the doctor.
