Just had my sleeve

[lovingdavid 119]

Hi everyone I really like this app. I just got my sleeve July 16 and looking forward to share my journey and read others experiences. I am still on liquid diet and feel good. Haven't really felt hungry only in the morning but have to drink my Proteins and drink so I can stay hydrated. I look forward in meeting new people. I live in Las Vegas.

Lovingdavid- how's your pain?

Hi Chris I really haven't had any pain from my incisions only the air was really painful the day of the surgery. I am starting to feel that the incisions are starting to itch but other than that doing well. Just soreness here and there. How are you doing?

[chrisrn 11]

Well pain from incision wounds - taking pain med every 4 hours- but I guess better today then yesterday- nausea sometime but I have med for that-tired today

[lovingdavid 119]

I hope you feel much better soon.. And good thing that you taking your meds. I only take them at night so I can sleep good and won't have pain. Good luck with the days ahead.

Welcome lovingdavid. Chrisrn, I was sleeved 7/8 and still have pain. I take tylenol at night to sleep. Can't sleep on my side or laying down. Still sleeping propped up with 4 pillows. Lovingdavid, keep up with your fluids so you don't get dehydrated. Been there, done that. We are moving to Las Vegas this fall.

Hi guys. I was sleeved 7/14, mostly am pain free but sometimes i do have some pain from the left side where most of the incisions were. I picked up bronchitis in theh ospital and that has been making things interesting but otherwise the surgery went smoothly and its just hanging in here on the liquid diet that's tough. I had an aha moment today and went out and got some chinese take-out -- egg drop Soup -- and was surprised and pleased when my order total was $1.42. I don't remember the last time I paid so little for something was.

Ha good idea!

Pelicanlady thank you very much and yes drinking sips of Water and Powerade zero. Hope your pain starts to go away. Best of luck

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on 7-16. I had horrible pain for 3 days and now it's tolerable. I don't mind the liquid diet. I'm doing good with that, even started walking. I take Tylenol at night for soreness. I'm able to sleep on my side. So far, so good.

[lovingdavid 119]

Fit2015 glad you are doing better.. I started walking a little after surgery but of course had the pain on my chest. Going away and I also sleep

On my sides. I couldn't sleep at all at the hospital but here at home it's much better with the help of pillows

I was sleeved on 7/18. Still in some pain but better than Saturday. The gas is a problem though. When I sip my fluids, feels like a ball in my chest. Very uncomfortable feeling. Makes me not want to drink, but I know I have to. My surgeon only allows 4 ounces every hour and I'm struggling to get that in. My bed that I used to love is now the enemy. Just can't get comfortable. Wish I had a recliner.
