i was in the hospital with the sleeve, 8 hours outpatient. I took one pain pill at home. They do warn you not to lift anything for a few days.

I did, 12 days ago along with my gallbladder and sleeve. It does take alittle more time to get back into the swing of things. Watch how u bend and pick things up

I had my hernia repair and sleeve surgery monday the 24th. The air bubbles seem to want to go right to the hernia site. They sit there and are very painful. I get up to walk to get them to move around and out. Right now i barely notice sleeve surgery just hernia. Its super tight and full of air.

I did, as well. For me, it was a difficult recovery for the first 5 days after surgery. I could barely drink anything. My throat was very sore as I developed really bad acid. I'm still dealing with the acid and my voice has not returned to normal. The pain is much better, and I'm able to drink now. So, it's getting better.

Hey! I had a three as well on 10/10. Took me three weeks to heal to the point I can get back to working. I had to get extra pain meds and felt my recovery took so much longer than other folks talk about here. I still can't do everything yet.

How are you feeling? Any nausea, trouble eating?

      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.
