I never had any nausea they gave me a lot of medication for that. For the pain I also received pain medications and I was told to walk, walk and more walk.:) Congratulations and I hope you feel better soon!

Give it at least a few days! I left the hospital 3 days after surgery and by the time I got home the nausea was gone completely. Pain on the other hand...that was a couple of weeks. Especially first thing in the morning when I had gone all night without pain meds, Today I am one month out and have zero pain. Today and tomorrow will probably be your worst days! I hope you feel better soon!

If you walk around it does help although that's when I was in pain the worst. My pain lasted a week or so then suddenly it went away. I stop the pain meds four days post op because they didn't do anything but keep me up.

First congrats!! Sorry you are in pain. I took medication for pain and nausea for a few weeks off and on. It will get better!! Hang in there... Walking really helped me loads! I felt so much better when I got home and was able to rest in my own bed. Hopefully you will improve quickly!

I felt nauseous for the first 2 days and it gradually improved.

I also felt a lot of pain (I wasn't expecting that). My surgeon said it was normal & I should take the pain medication as I needed it. I did and it helped a lot. By the end of week 1, no longer needed the pain meds.

And somewhere in the middle of week 2, I woke up one morning & just felt pretty normal again.

Hang in there... it will get better!

Sorry you are in pain. Hang in there it does get better. Follow the advice of everyone and that is to walk and take your pain meds. It has been a week since my surgery and I don't really have any pain just a lack of energy. But walking seems to be the cure to everything. So walk as much as you can and take your pain meds. I promise it will get better.

if you're still in the hospital, ask for a scope patch. I had them put one on BEFORE surgery, and I never had nausea when I woke up.

The pain tho - I was in pain for about 4-5 days. It gradually got better, but those first few days it was very difficult to get around.

I'm 8 days post op and feeling A LOT better. I cleaned my whole house yesterday (slowly, and with help). Today I went walking around costco and Target with no issues.

Nausea was my issue, the pain meds controlled the pain. Lots of Zofran for nausea!

By day 2 I felt like a new person.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
