Had surgery 7/6/16

[CamJ83 25]

So I just had the sleeve and let me tell you I was a cranky woman in the hospital and first day home. The bubbling is so annoying but a friend told me to double up on antacid meds and that really helped. I find myself peeing quite often during the night as if I needed another reason to not be able to sleep. I'm so scared to cough, burp or laugh. Also I can't tell if I'm having hunger pains or what but this liquid thing is so boring I cannot wait to puree. I'm just really anxious to get back to normal even though I know that's a mile away...thank God for my fiance cause his encouragement helps me tremendously.

I totally feel your pain girl! I was sleeved on 7/5. I'm on Clear liquids only for two weeks . And then full liquids . I won't be on purees until 8/2 . I'm so excited for our journeys and how we do! We are now sleeve sisters! I'm down 17.4 pounds since surgery last Tuesday which I can't lie startled me at first because I didn't think it would be so rapid. I was so scared to cough the first day because everything was so sensitive but I noticed that applying pressure with a pillow and heating pad or ice pack made it soooo much better! You should definitely try it ! I hope you stay active on here , I'll enjoy seeing your transformation.

Wow congrats on the weight loss????????...my first week appointment is Thursday so I can't wait to see how much I've lost. I won't know when I start the purees until I see the doctor but girl that has not kept me from looking at some puree recipes . Have you been light headed at all? Or started all your Vitamins?

Thank you! My first week appointment is Thursday too! And noo I feel you, I have found so many recipes that I'm ready to try and share! Actually I have had to force myself to eat. I have not felt hungry at all or lightheaded . I can't lie it's been hard being in a household with a mom who is a chef and always cooking and I can't try her stuff lol. The only Vitamins I have been on so far are Iron, Vitamin D and B12 since I needed those prior to surgery for being anemic . I should know more about vitamins on Thursday ! I'm excited to hear and update from you .

Had mine on 7/5 and besides still having a pain in my right side by my big incision i am feeling great. I have lost a total of 15 lbs and the scale goes down 1 to 2 lbs per day. I am drinking 3 ozs every two hours and I am walking 2 miles a day. I cannot be more excited with this journey I have undertaken. Good luck to you all.

I had the sleeve on the 6th! I am on liquids but they do not have to be clear. The gas bubbles are annoying but seem to be better. I feel the liquid going down, and it actually hurts right at the center of my chest/bra line, does anyone else have this? I am down 10 pounds since surgery. It hurts to laugh still but holding a pillow while coughing helps. Congrats to all of you! I'm excited to have found this ap and my sleeve buddies on the 5th and 6th!

The gas bubbles were ridiculous so I doubled up on antacid meds that helped majorly. I also had a problem with my breast being so heavy so I keep a pillow against my chest lifting them up for now. Are you taking small sips?

Don't want to risk blood clots. I had my procedure done at an outpatient facility and only received 1 shot before surgery for them. The walking really helps with the pain in my stomach and help releases gas.
