Got my sleeve yesterday!

[brandy31 32]

Got my sleeve yesterday afternoon, and the night was rough for me. Lots of pain and dry heaving, despite the anti nausea patch & medicine.

My question: how many days did it take some of y'all to really start feeling good?

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

I was fortunate. I felt okay the moment I woke up. My abs were a little sore but it was manageable without narcotics. I have notice that most people start to feel better within the first 2 weeks, some even sooner.

Keep us posted on how you are doing - I am so ready for the surgery I will have my last appointment on the 14th then wait for insurance approval

Yes agreed the first night is the worst despite the meds....but by the second and third nights i thought i was at a Spa.....LOL...except for the bloating and the daily shots for clotting i was grand...

I had mine on Monday. When I woke up I had major pain in my stomach. Also whenever I got up I was Nautious and couldn't stop sweating. I'm day four post op and still have some pain but drinking isn't nearly as difficult. Hang in there

I think the worst day for me had to be the day after surgery. I had a lot of shoulder pain from the gas and my stomach just felt bloated and heavy. By the second day I was feeling a little bit better. Third day was able to drink some broth. I'm now 11 days out and I feel great! I have to keep grounding myself because I want to do more physical things and eat things outside of my plan. I have to remember I'm not Superwoman. But trust me, it gets better!

I think I had more trouble recovering than most. It took me almost two weeks to not be in horrible pain. I have a chronic pain condition which contributed to this. I'm three weeks out now and feeling great. It's hard at first but hang in there!

It took me a good week. Hang in there it will get better!!

I love your video and I must say I completely understand what you mean, I was in the same boat, eating healthy and exercising everyday while battling with my stomach's demand to be fed.

Do you recall how many calories you would eat at each stage? How many to you take in now? I am currently 12 days post op and I'm taking little under 300 calories, I'm having a hard time taking my Protein, everything I've tried tastes disgusting to me.

Thank you for sharing your success story with us.

Thanks guys! I'm on day 4 now, & this morning I was feeling okay. Still in pain but it was easier to get around. I think I may have over done it, though, b/c tonight has been terrible. Luckily, my husband was home from work early and he was able to help me get up & down... I know it'll get better. Every day has been so far. It's just taking time.

I've been putting the unflavored Unjury in almost everything, & that's really helping me with the Protein intake. I'm not quite to the amount of Water I need, but I feel like tomorrow I'll be able to hit it.
