1 Day post operation from vertical sleeve!

[Nikki Monroe 71]

Hey everyone! I had my sleeve done yesterday. Yesterday was a rough day with some vomit. Today is better with pain meds and sipping much slower as well as being able to hold some fluids down. They say the first day is the worst day so hopefully everything goes uphill from here. GAS IS NO JOKE AT ALL! WALK WALK WALK! I have never wanted to burp and pass gas so freakin bad! LOL! Watch this video. I am looking for this trophy to be mine next. I know it will help me feel so much better!http://youtu.be/U2J60QsaV1s

I think many of us have longed to be able to win that trophy! The early days are the ones where you doubt you sanity but it does get much, much better. You've got the right attitude - keep it up! Water, liquids and Protein - the combination to success!

Hi Nikki, I had mine done on Oct 12 and today was my first full day at home. It's amazing how much better I felt in the hospital than I did today at home. I guess thats because they pumped me so full of liquid, pain, and nausea meds every 4 hours! I was able to walk around quite a bit at the hospital and have been burping / passing gas today. However, this morning was rough with gas pain and nausea. I was very sore and tired (I had two unexpected hernia fixes as well during my procedure).

sleep allows your body to heal, but I was told once I am up I need to move around and walk as much as I can and do different things as well (lifting up one leg at a time, side steps, etc) . That's the best thing I can say to you today. Best of luck and I hope you get everything you want out of this lifestyle change!
