Ok so I need help here... One week post op



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on July 13th, doing much better! Wasn't really nauseous after the hospital and pain was to be expected. I'd say day 5 I started to notice this weird stabbing pinch pain like above the main incision to the right. It got pretty bad I am only comforted by holding it. Mainly it only hurts when I walk, if I'm laying down I barely feel it! One more thing... I don't know if it's possible but did I stretch my pouch already!!!?? I have been drinking a lot! Which I thought was good but I'm only day seven post op and I can drink a whole bowl of Soup broth in about 30 without feeling any sort of full feeling? I haven't felt full yet? That worries me?

The pain you are experiencing in your incision area may be due to healing but if it's severe I would recommend that you call your surgeon.

No, your sleeve has not stretched. As you are still on liquids you will be able to handle more as your swelling goes down. You won't really feel any restriction until you start more solid foods.

Liquids pretty much run right through your new tummy. It's one of the reason why we are advised not to eat and drink close together. For those not feeling restriction, continue to follow your doctor's instructions. Often the restriction doesn't kick in until you have progress to purees and soft foods.
