nicolenik17 126 Posted June 6, 2013 I had mine done yesterday at 1130am. I was very dizzy and nauseous afterwards- still am too. I am having a hard time walking around because of the dizziness & nausea. However' date=' I am drinking Protein and clear fluids, which is great. I have a morphine push pump and getting zofran through the iv. Last night was awful. Most of it was due to my roommate.... She was calling for the nurses all night. Way too loud, too many people- too bright. Too noisy etc. Worst part is the nausea and the nurses forcing. Me to walk. I will post a pic of my insicion sight soon.[/quote'] Hi Akmys11, welcome to the loser's bench! I was extremely nauseous after surgery also. It was better the next day. I was discharged yesterday and trying to get used to being back at home. Walking does help even though you don't want to. Right now we have a battles but I know it will get better, this is a big change to become accustomed to. My goal today is to work on a schedule for my meals and drinking that georgette (my sleeve, yes i named my sleeve. lol) will be able to handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Confidencebound 0 Posted June 6, 2013 Thank you akmys11 and nicolenik17 for your updates. I am having surgery on June 11 (next Tuesday) and have been very emotional. This is day 3 of liquids and whoo, this is tough. I am so worried about about the day of surgery...my anxiety, my pain level after, everything. There have been a couple times I've actually thought about canceling, but I know I want to do this. I am ready to be happy and healthy, but terrified at the same time. nicolenik17, love that you named your sleeve!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The day of surgery I was very anxious because my surgery was in the middle of the day. Once I got to the hospital I was very calm and was at peace with my decision and what was about to happen.

Mitchell 3 Posted June 6, 2013 I had mine on the 3rd as well. I'm a little sore' date=' this gas is something though! Walking truly does help, but I'm tiring really quickly. How is everyone else?[/quote'] I also had mine on the third. I am having rough time today getting my drinks in. I feel weak and sore, committed this morning. I just called for some nausea meds hoping that helps. I did take a walk around my yard and a shower this morning. Hoping to wake up feeling great after my lunch time nap. I honestly felt better when I left the hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
