So I had the sleeve yesterday and have felt horrible ever since. Nausea, has pains, etc. I've been walking, sipping as much Water as possible, but nothing seems to help me feel better.

Taken my zofran, pain meds, but those aren't helping either. Having some serious regrets ????

It very early give yourself some time. I'm just 8 weeks tomorrow and only just feel like a sort of normal person again ie no pain ect . Still can only eat 2 / 3 spoonfuls . It's a big thing you had done and will take your body time to recover. Wishing you feel much better very soon

It seems very common to all of us to have regrets at first; this will pass. I am going on six weeks since having it and I promise, it gets better, although right now it does not feel like it. I do have to tell you to brace yourself for the emotional roller coaster that it's coming your way; this is also normal and it will subside. Much luck on your journey, and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Your stomach is feeling really brutalized right now. This week will be your worst and then as you move into purees, soft foods, and regular foods that taste like something, your energy and your mood will pick up. This is the time to get plenty of rest and follow your plan. You will be quite inconvenienced this week, but you will not regret the long-term results.

My experience was that my biggest incision (I had four) was the only one that hurt, and that was just for a couple of days. After that, I did not need any pain relief. I had behind the ear Patches to help calm the nausea which was in part caused by the other meds I had to take.

By the end of the first week, I had a serious case of "cabin fever", and just couldn't wait to get out of the house.

I do want to give you a "heads up" that along about week three, you may experience a stall in your weight loss. True, it is discouraging - but totally expected as your body adjusts to its new normal.

Hang in there, kiddo. Pluck through the next couple of days and you will be past the worst of your recovery. I still think that my recovery was still not as aggravating as the pre-op insurance process!

You will feel better shortly. Hugs from Chicago.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
