So I got sleeved on Thursday afternoon. Thursday and Friday were the absolute pits. Excruciating gas pain and soreness in the abdomen. I wasn't able to walk much due to pain and lightheadedness. Today I'm feeling much better and I'm able to do my breathing exercises and walking. I can't believe I actually did. Here's to a new future.

I has surgery on 4/1... I'm sick of my stomach hurting, am missing food, and over my one ounce cups. I just feel really depressed for some reason. Anyone else?

Got sleeved on the 4/3, had a few really rough days, still feel weak and light headed, less pain though and glad to be home.

Gas pain was hell. Struggling to drink enough liquids, but seems to be getting a bit easier.

Had a lot of headaches the last few days which didn't help.

Will get through this!

Well the pain is subsiding now that I can get some gas out. I'm off the strong pain meds bc I found it makes it easier to go to bathroom on Tylenol. I'm walking more and sitting up more. Still have gas pains and I'm struggling to keep the liquids in. No vomiting just hard to swallow and stay awake. I took a shower today and I feel much better. Each day gets easier and I'm praying by the end of the week illness able consume all my fluids.

Kelly my stomach is hurting too' date=' I can't consume my 4 ounce in that hour only like 3. I kinda feel depressed too.[/quote']

I got home yesterday and did great with the 4oz in the hospital before getting discharge. Now I am home and is hard to consume 4oz in that one hour. I do about 1oz then 3oz some hours is just so hard. I feel very weak and I started the pure Protein Shake that all I been tryin to consume the broth makes my stomach hurts and finally got some Popsicles and was able to eat one.

      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.
