krissy41 1 Posted June 7, 2016 I had mine today (June 6) and I'm so exited and glad it's over but I was very scared at first. Good luck on yours!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I had mine yesterday too. Right now it's 2:15 where I am and since I pretty much slept yesterday now I'm wide awake. Lol. Have you been up and walking and feeling good? I feel pretty good. How are you making out getting your liquids down? I'm not having any problems with it right now. I think what bothers me the most is my sore throat and dry mouth. I hope you're doing well. Sent from my VS985 4G using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
britt_12 14 Posted June 7, 2016 I sent you a message because I couldn't figure out how to reply on here at that time Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
britt_12 14 Posted June 7, 2016 I have no sore throat but I did keep getting light headed when I walked and I don't start liquids until tomorrow because I have to do a leak test first Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobey 177 Posted June 7, 2016 Okay, so woke up feeling alright in recovery. They gave me 2 anti-nausea drugs, pretty sure I kept drifting in and out of it cause I was there for like 3 hours. When I came back to my room I vommitted a couple of times. Which was scary and weird. My surgeon said the vommitting is normal as long as it's not all the time. I felt to weird because I used to be able to feel this giant stomach contract and now I feel nothing lol. Am really struggling to get Water in and keep it there but am still on a drip so should be okay. Any suggestions for how to get fluids in and keep them there?? Oh and don't feel hungry at all which is awesome Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStephens1975 62 Posted June 16, 2016 I was sleeved June 7th as well! How are you doing now? I'm doing alright. I'm off the pain meds but still a little sore. Getting in enough Protein has been tough for me but I'm working on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobey 177 Posted June 16, 2016 I'm good, still like you in a bit of pain but it's manageable. I stopped taking my pain drugs a couple of days ago. Only managing 30grms of Protein a day but doing really well with Water. Think I need to start doing some walking now that the pain's okay.
