I also had my sleeve done on August 25th. Feeling kind of rough right now. I am having a lot of pain.

Same here pain is ridiculous

I had it the same day. I'm home now and wow do I hurt! Are u home yet?

Was sleeved on the 25th too. Hiatal hernia repair too. So much pain. Broke down and cried this AM regretting my decision. Have to stay strong, but it's difficult. So glad I found this group.

I cried after my first walk. I'm NOT a Cryer but the pain was intense and every time I breathed it got worse, which I think made me panic.

How are you all eating? I was cleared for purees but I can't eat more than full liquids.< /p>

Haven't been able to drink much of the Isopure. Makes me want to puke. So disgusting, even with Crystal Lite flavoring. Am able to hold down Water, Jello and broth. Nutritionist wants me drinking 64 ounces of fluids a day, at a minimum. Can't reach that, but I'm trying.

Very gassy. Staying with my mom for a few and she's rubbing my back to help with that. sleeping on the couch because it feels better to be on an incline. Trying not to take painkillers, but need them at least at night. Tried Tylenol and it did nothing for me.

Abdomen and between breasts are so sore. Doesn't hurt to walk, but does hurt to get up. I'm walking hunchbacked.

The gas was terrible for me as well...I'm 8 days out and it's a LOT better. I'm still having problems getting all my fluids in. I actually like the Isopure. What flavors did you get?

[Cris in Miami 9]

fruit punch and grape. I made it halfway through the fruit punch and sips of the grape. I'm going to try again tomorrow, but if I can't get them down, I'm supposed to start Protein Shakes Friday. I have vanilla and strawberry to try and hopefully, I like them. I did enjoy both flavors of the Optifast.< /p>

[MzGawjuss 19]

I got Alpine Punch, Peach Mango, and Blue Raspberry. I love them all. I'm on Protein Shakes now so I drink both along with Crystal Lite. I can also have cream Soups and the broccoli and cheese has saved my life!

Hey guys don't know if you have Duane reades or cvs or Vitamin shoppes where you live but I got these great Protein "shots" they don't taste great but they are only 3-4 ounces a piece. The thinner ones are about the size of a five oz energy and have 28 gm protein and the larger ones from Vitamin Shoppe are whey Protein Shots and 42 gm protein each. I HATE the Isopure. If you're gonna have to have something gross at least make it a smaller amount!

I got home yesterday. But im still uncomfortable.. I just want the pain to go away..... Honestly when i woke up from surgery i regretted my decesion. The pain was horrible... But i kno things will get better

[Thinkingthinner1109 485]

Yes I am home and the pain is still incredible. I cannot get all my fluids in and I cannot take the liquid pain killer they sent me home with it gives me horrible Migraines.
