l_Thompson 0 Posted May 24, 2013 I'm having major problems getting in the amount of liquids and today I'm feeling really weak and light headed any pointers to maybe help ? I have only been able to keep down Gatorade Water and popsicles very very small amounts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark-G1 1 Posted May 24, 2013 Hi, I had mine on Monday afternoon. So far so good. I had no where near the discomfort like I had getting my Gall Bladder out two years ago. Too bad the Doc could not use the same holes. I'm tyring to get used of the taste of the Protein shakes and forcing myself to drink Water regularlly. I feel every swallow. Yesterday, every swallow required a small "burp" for relief, today not so much. Today, I started on the Vitamins and I have allot of energy back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sissytx 4 Posted May 24, 2013 I also feel ever sip. I can't start full liquids until Monday. Still sore but getting my fluids in via Decaf tea and broth. Water well I never liked water. I also have a hard time finding a good position to sleep in. Post op appointment said everything was good. Everyday gets easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PatriotsFan28 29 Posted May 25, 2013 Hello all!! From hell I swear. Sleeved May 22nd....home now and feeling dehydrated' date=' nausea, and I think I got to full on 4 oz of cranberry juice. Feeling horrible. Walking etc but feeling overly stuffed and bloated[/quote'] I was sleeved on the 20th. It does get better, just gotta hang in there. Get your rest and soon it will be behind us. Today was my worst day since being home. I hardly drank, nausea was setting in once again and all it did was make me worry that I would end up back in the hospital. Tomorrow is a new day and I pray it's a better one. I hope for all of us feeling this way that tomorrow is much better. 2 naroby80 and Lerxst reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lastly I had a few tsp of Tomato Soup and the pains in my stomach have ceased. I was so worried. You are right thus will get easier! 1 Lerxst reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mighty Mo 6 Posted May 25, 2013 I was sleeved may 20 and so far everything is going well except for the gas pain. I also experience a sharp pain on my left side after I drink so that's either gas or my body adjusting cause as soon as I get up its gone. 1 Lerxst reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
csutton22 3 Posted May 25, 2013 I was sleeved on may 20. I am doing really good! (thank God) had a very easy time! No pain hardly at all! I only took one pain pill when I left the hospital. The only trouble I am having is drinking enough. I am having I assume are gas pains when I try to drink. But other than that Im doing well. Hope things get better for you!

Alyjourneys 117 Posted May 25, 2013 I was sleeved on may 22. Well I was a revision from vbg to vsg. Doing well in keeping my fluids downs and the meals provided. I can't for the life of me drink the horrible shakes. Omg they are horrible. I like the EAS carb control Protein Shakes so I will do those when I get home. The worst part for me was having the NG tube for 3 days and now the drainage bulb on my side. But it's all for good reasons. One day at a time. I'll be glad to be out if the recovery stage and seeing some actual weight loss. How long before we seen some down numbers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
