@@ehedary I'm noticing the slimy mucus too. At first I thought it was post-nasal drip, but I just remembered reading here about some people experiencing that stuff coming up from their stomach. I think that's what I'm getting. Also have lots of rumbling and dry mouth. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Rumbling and crazy gas pains but today is much better for me. Struggling with my liquids intake but luckily I'm ok with the flavor. Something really upset my stomach yesterday not sure if it was the Protein or the drink for the X-ray. How much do you have to take in?

I need 32 oz minimum but no luck getting it so far.

I drank almost the amount and I'm being discharged today. Pain is better but now I have diarrhea (sorry tmi). Anyone else experience stomach upset this way?

I had my sleeve July 12. I'm doing pretty well. I struggle drinking. It hurts when the liquid enters the stomach unless I take the smallest of sips. I have been drinking about 96 oz. of Fluid per day. That's what is required by my doctor. I have to sip about every 5 minutes to get it down. It seems like my day revolves around a bottle! Other than that, I feel good. I'm a little sore around the incision lines, but my energy level is slowly improving.

Today I feel much better. Able to sip Water without too much discomfort, less gurgling. I actually slep though the night last night, which I think has a lot to do with how I feel today. Energy is still low. My main goal today is getting in my liquids! Coughing and sneezing are unpleasant but not excruciating. I need to start moving around more too.

Hi - I had a sleeve done on July 12 too. I'm still really sore around my incision sites and pretty gassy whenever I drink Fluid. It also feels like a rock in my stomach for a few seconds every time I drink but then passes in a few seconds. Doc said that was normal. The coughing has stopped - I was told that was all the extra mucus from being intubated during surgery and all the carbon dioxide they pumped into us. I'm feeling a little better today although standing or sitting too long really hurts my incision sites. How is everyone else doing today?

How is everyone else today? I am starting to be able to drink without feeling that "rock" bosslady3 described so well. It is there if I try to take too large a sip but it is definitely getting better. I am running a low grade fever though. It comes down with Tylenol, but still makes me feel tired.

Slept a bit better last night. A little less gas today. Pain and itching at incisions sites. I obviously use my abs for more than I think. My throat hurts at my right ear. Not walking around enough I'm sure. Still feeling tired and wanting to sleep a lot. Its hard to get in enough fluids when you are sleeping though... Looking forward to the first time I actually want to leave my house.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
