May 6th sleeve

[onajournee 20]

I was sleeved May 6 and came home today. Feeling okay, I also had a large hiatal hernia repair so when I take a sip it feels like a big burp sitting there that needs to come up. Looking forward to getting thru these first couple weeks, so i can add some different foods and discomfort will be gone away. Glad to hear people came thru surgery okay,

I had a hiatal hernia as well everytime I drink or swallow I feel gassy or like I constantly need to burp. Ugh hoping all of our first few weeks fly by.

Each time I feel a little uneasy or bubble is forming I take two Gas X thin strips.

I take 7/8 through out the day, just put them in your mouth and they melt.

They are horrible lol but they tend to work I feel like I need more then 8 a day that's the max though.

I am home. Lots of Gas pain. Really swollen.

My doctor prescribed Levsin for esophageal spasms and valium for muscle spasms and that really seems to make drinks go down a little better without so much gas resistance. I think it opens up and relaxes that tight hernia repair he did. Anyone else bloated up from hospital fluids? My feet look like twice their normal size and i can't get my wedding ring back on yet! I'm up 9 lbs from the day i went in, they told me not weigh because of that, but i did anyway. Good luck to everyone, i think we will feel so much better once we get past these first 2 weeks. I'm putting a calendar on my fridge and marking down the days till my 2 week appt, at which time i hope to have lost weight, feel better, be able to get all my drinks/water in daily, and can add some soft foods.Have a great day new sleevers!

Down about 13lbs. I'm 6 days post op and lost about 3 to 5 on the preop diet the week before. Glad the scale has changed finally!

I agree, I think the first 2 weeks are going to be the hardest. We can do this!
