My experience with my sleeve syrgery: day 1 after surgery throwing up all nausea medicine given to me through iv, lots of gas pain in my upper chest, did alot of walking and helped with moving around the gas. 2nd day is today feeling way better was able to let some gas out the back end lol and the gas pain has gotten much much better still up and walking as much as I can. Really no pain from surgery that I have experienced just the gas pain which im really thankful for. However I'm not able to keep the pain medication down which I took yesterday thought it would help with the gas pain and threw it up as well.

I just had mine done on the 15. I didn't have any of those complications but I thought I was going to. The pain med that I am using is a liquid low dose of Hydrocodone that has Acetaminophen in it. It has been doing great with no nausea. I would recommend that pain med with some gatorade. I can also say walk, walk, walk, walk. It really helped me a lot. Also, one trick with the gas pains that helped is take a really deep breath and hold for a few seconds and keep it tight. Keep doing that and it helped with the pain a lot. Good luck to you! It will get better soon!

Sleeved on 14th. Got really bad Thursday-Friday with nausea. Only kept down ice chips. Quit pain meds and got rid of all fake sweeteners. Feeling better today-but it's hard to get Protein without fake sweeteners.

      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.
