Newly sleeved with questions

[Get.Waisted 45]

I was sleeved on yday (4/23) and I actually feel worse today than yesterday but my pain is controlled by meds, is it normal to feel worse the day after? Also I'm not getting enough liquids in, every time I take a sip I feel ill, is that normal? Should I sip through it or is that a sign that I'm full may vomit if I continue to sip? Please if anyone has any insight let me know. Thanks.

I remember feeling worse the day after surgery. I was on a morphine drip right after surgery, but they took me off of it several hours before I was released. I was hurting pretty good after that. I remember my first sips of Water after my leak test, after drinking about a tablespoon full of Water, I threw up.

As far as drinking goes, I wasn't drinking much of anything the 1st few days. I got my fluids mainly from eating sugar free popsicles. I was eating less than 1 popsicle per day and sipping on Crystal Light.

I wasn't real worried about eating or drinking enough right after surgery. I figured as long as I felt okay and gradually increased my intake that I would be fine.

Ask for crushed ice. Also the pain meds made me nauseous. You are still very swollen from the surgery. Normal to be miserable for a day or two post-op.

Crushed ice and light apple juice :-) Water made me throw up... still can't drink it without flavor after day 4 u should start feeling a whole lot better!!!

Thanks you all that makes me feel better that it's normal. I actually forgot I have a big box of sf Popsicles in my freezer and I'll send my husband out to get me some crushed ice. Those are some good ideas, I'm just gonna try getting in what I can and I'm not gonna push it to get more down.

Yes your feelings are normal. Around day 4-5 you will feel much better, I would try to drink but I couldn't I chewed on ice chips. Hope you feel better soon!
