Wow! 3 days post-op is so much better than 2 days post-op!



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done Monday morning, and came home on Tuesday. I was feeling pretty miserable both days. Yesterday was better, but I was still having some spasm pains in my stomach whenever I'd try to sip fluids. I think I got down 15 oz yesterday total.

But today? AH-MAZING. Seriously. I feel GREAT! I went and spent the morning at my kid's school for last day celebration, and then we went to the park to play (well, they played and I sat on the bench). My Fluid is going down SO much easier - it's only 1pm and I've already had about 20 oz of Water and 5 oz of Protein shake.

At this rate, I'll be running a half marathon by next week. Just kidding - but really I am super optimistic about my future at the moment. :)

That is an encouraging update. I have mine on June 19th. I hope I can recover just as fast and be up and about, feeling like I want to be up and "running" quickly.

Thanks for your post.

I had my surgery June 3 and I was feeling much the same today as your day 2. I went to the doc for my first post-op appointment and explained that I was having trouble with nausea when I eat so he gave me another med to try. Maybe I'll feel amazing tomorrow :)

3 weeks out now and if I hadn't gone through it I wouldn't have known I had major surgery :D

I too had my sleeve on Monday. I went home on Tuesday. Tuesday was the worst day for me. Wednesday was much better and today has been great. I am having a lot of tummy grumbling today.
