4 days post op.....

[mariahthompson0913 11]

I had my sleeve done on the 11th. I too had severe nausea and was dry heaving in the hospital. The gave me extra nausea and pain meds and held me a few extra hours. I was able to leave on the first day post-op in the evening. I struggled with the nausea until the next day. By this time, I felt like the liquid Lortab might have been the culprit. So, I quit taking it on day 3 (I actually vomited it). I wasn't having severe pain at this point. I starting turning the corner about day 5. I am currently on day 8 post-op and feel pretty good. I walked about a mile and a half today and tired a little easier than I would like. I am thinking because my Protein and Water intake aren't up to the goal yet. I have also been stuck on the same weight for 2 days. I know I shouldn't be weighing daily, but I am! Has anyone else had a weight loss stall?

I got my surgery the same day. About how much fluids are u able to do now?

My only advice is be prepared to be exhausted for the first few weeks. I am currently not working so I am able to take a nap daily. Thank Goodness! Eventhough, you aren't hungry...your body thinks it's starving. My doctor said that once I can get my caloric intake up to 1000/day I will begin to have more energy...looking forward to advancing my diet next week and adding more Protein. Good Luck!
