Congrats I would say remember to walk and take in Water and sip, also a heating pad work wonders for me i am 6 days post opt and all of my gas is now gone and i am feeling 90 percent better, I am off my pain meds as of today and feels great, remember you may feel rough the next couple of days but it really does get better every day and remember to walk at least 30 minutes per day your stomach will thank you because the gas will be coming out and you will feel great. The heating pad gives you relieve over your incision sites and helps you sleep i can now sleep on both sides as well as my stomach good luck.

Thanks Cupcake, home just now and feeling good. Sipping tea and eating yoghurt ????

Congrats!! I was sleeved on Friday, as well! Taking things day by day (or really, hour by hour). I am still taking Reglan & hydrocodone every 4 hours. It's working! I feel pretty good & I'm just trying to stay hydrated. I haven't felt hungry once, I forced myself to drink 6 oz of Protein Shake yesterday.

One weird thing- the hospital wouldn't let me plug in my heating pad because its plug was two pronged with no grounding. They said it was a risk because there's oxygen on the room. They said it would've been ok if I had a power strip to plug it into, like anyone would just have one if those in their purse or something, LOL.
