Sleevers 15th September to 21st September Check in

[jrahrer71 13]

My surgery was on Monday at 4pm. So far that has been the hardest part. I really feel ok. Lots of bloating and gas. I read somewhere to bring gas x with you and that has helped. I am getting sick of the clear liquids but I only have a few more days until full liquids. This is much easier than I thought it was going to be. I do sleep during the day and it's been hard to get as much Fluid in as they want you to, but I just do my best.

I also started walking around my block the day I got home from the hospital. I think that has helped too!

Very exciting! Good luck to all.

Well I am sleeved!! Finally did it, the pain has been ok so far. The morphine has helped a bit.

Just need to walk off this gas pain today. Slept all day yesterday so I have been wide awake all night .

Hugs to you all

I got on the scale today and it said that I had gained 7 pounds. How this is possible I don't know. I have been following the Clear Liquids to a fault and I have been walking everyday. Help! Has anyone else had this problem?

I am only day 2, but I have heard people say that you can retain Fluid because it goes into shock.. Just don't stress about it. Stick to the plan and you will be ok.. Good luck and don't let this bring you down.

My dietician told me to only weigh myself monthly because your weight can very so much from day to day.

Good luck! Remember to ask for pain medicine before it gets very bad.It's hard to get it under control. Ask for anti nausea medication if the pain medicine gets you sick.

Never read anything soo True!! Lol and walk, walk n walk some more????

just sip slow, I have had that fear I would not be to keep anything down. I know we are suppose to get 60 gram of Protein in I have not yet and I am not trying this first week.

Day 3 for me. I've been walking. Yesterday my sister came and I think I walked too much because I got nauseas. The nausea has gone down since I've been home. Still some. But i haven't even been able to get in 1/2 of the Protein. I feel

Really weak too

Hi, everyone!! I am 4 days post-op...had my sleeve done on Sept. 16. I am feeling great about my decision, and my only complaint is these stupid gas pains. Omg, sometimes they take my breath away! I have been walking and sipping all day. I don't feel hungry, but I am looking forward to the next phase of foods - pureed. I have to be on liquids for 2 weeks before I move on. Right now, I'm okay with that!

I hope everyone who got sleeved this past week is doing well!

Hi all!!! Had my surgery 9/17 and all has been well. Not much pain at all but today I'm finding a feeling of maybe fullness with my Protein Shake for Breakfast? Maybe I drank too fast.

I did has a day or so of nausea but the pills worked. I'm not able to tolerate Water straight but I have it mixed with a bit of g2 and that works.

I had my first bm yesterday and it was rock hard so I'm going to get some milk of mag today and see if that helps me.

For the most part all is good.
