Calling all June '16 sleevers!

[Carolyn1967 11]

Best of luck! We've all been there. You will do fine. The hardest part is the wait. Remember, when all is said and done, it'll be worth it.

>Hi Carolyn checking in here. I'm in my third day post op and feeling VERY nauseous. I have some pain in my abdomen that I don't know what it is. Surgery went well. In hospital recovery was moving along at a good pace. Now I just feel sick to my stomach and pain in that area. It's not like the surgery areas, I can't tell if it's gas, just regular pain, hunger pains or acid in my stomach. I didn't used to get hunger pains at all, so I don't know what that feels like. I've been doing everything for nausea they recommended and still having dry heaves. Anyone else experience similar? I'm walking, I'm sipping, hurts every time I sip. No more big pain meds, justs tylenol. And I can't believe they expect me to poop. I haven't had solid food since Friday! Am I the only one not even tempted to weigh myself?!!! I don't plan on weighing myself until my post op appointment in a month! Any hints on how to get my regular meds in without getting sick? Thank you for listening!

Hi All! One week post-op today! I'm feeling pretty well as of yesterday. Finally relieved of all the gas! That was the worst. I can't thank you all enough for the suggestions, they were soooo helpful. Keep on keeping on!!!!

I'm two weeks post op today and having a hard time getting enough Water in. I'm dehydrated almost every day and that's making me tired and dizzy. Here's to hoping this week is better!!!

Hi Pipergurl, it's been tough getting in all the fluids here too. Make sure you're counting everything, it's 64 ounces of Fluid, not just water. Popcicles count, broths, Protein Drinks, it all works toward fluids! Keep on!

I'm 2 weeks and 2 days post op. I have zero energy by the time I get home from work. Anyone else have this? I'm struggling to get the fluids and Protein in but im getting more and more in everyday. Today I've had 50g of protein and about 35 oz of fluids.

I do. I am 2 weeks and two days today too. My doctor's office said I should be getting at least 40 oz by now. If I don't, I'll get dehydrated and continue to be exhausted. This could be your energy problem. And just because I am saying that's what the tell me, doesn't mean I'm good at it!

I had no energy from week 2-3. It does get better.

How often are you eating and drinking? I eat every two hours and drink in between. Are you drinking Protein Shakes? Those count as liquids.

[Pipergurl 34]

I use GENEPRO so I don't have Protein liquid to include. I'm dragging but keep praying it gets better. Friday I'm going to Virginia and I'm petrified that I'll become dehydrated, 7 hours from home!

I eat about every 3 hours and drink in between. I do drink about 1 1/2 shakes so I guess I'm getting in more fluids than I thought.

Nic, you may want to sacrifice some of that protein to get more hydration. Hydration should be your #1 goal. I think the minimums the nutritionist mentioned were something like 48oz of liquid, with a target of 60+. Less than that and your going to definitely have problems with fatigue, headaches, and eventually worse.

You also cannot count the shakes as part of your hydration.

Well today I gained .8 lbs after being almost a week on purée. Is that normal to gain weight again?

Yes. Don't sweat it. It'll come back down. Your body is just adjusting to your new eating habits

Okay, so I was sleeved on June 27, and I've had diarrhea since. I've heard of people being constipated, but not diarrhea. I also have discomfort on the right side of my abdomen. I did call the nurse, her only concern was dehydration. I want this to stop so I can get on with life. I can't exercise or go for walks, I can barely leave my second floor where my toilet is. Anyone been here?

I was sleeved on June 27th as well and had the exact same experience. Then it just stopped at around 11 days out. Since then I seem to be doing ok and haven't had further issues. Are you on a full liquid diet at this point?
