3 days post op

[Ready4aNewStart 40]

I was sleeved on Monday, May 24th. I am 3 days post op now. I haven't had any pain. I had horrible nausea from surgery until last night. Also, I have had gas pains every time I take a sip of Water or crystal light. I went to rite aid last night and bought some gas X chewables to help. Hopefully this side effect stops soon. But I'd say with 0 pain I am pretty lucky!

I had my bypass that same day and I think the only real pain I had was the dang gas. I took Gas x but i didn't see much relief. funny how that moves up into your shoulders. annoying.

Question: Did you put on weight. I put on 13 pounds in the hospital. I'm sure it's all Iv weight but I'm curious if you had that experience

I had nausea the first few days too. The liquid pain medicine really made me nauseous., so I started pill form.
I'm lucky, I didn't get gas pain in my shoulder, it was in my chest. Moving around really helped get rid of it.

I was in the hospital for 3 days and I was on an IV until about an hour before I was released. I didn't gain any weight but I used the restroom a lot. The nurse said I was voiding everything that was going in via IV.

I gained weight while in the hospital. Had RnY on Monday, 4/24. Still sore and full of gas. No nausea but struggling to get my fluids in. Going for walks and taking gas x but the relief is minimal.

The weight gain is from the fluids pumped in for surgery as well as swelling from surgery. He best advice that I was given and seemed to work great was keep walking. It helps to move and expel the gas while promoting healing. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

I am actually down 20 lbs. from last Wednesday. I am assuming due to just being on liquids. But hey i'll take it! I'm really starting to feel better with a small amount of the gas pains left. I have returned to work, I have a desk job where I can get up and walk whenever I want. So that has really helped. I too am struggling to get the liquids in but I just keep sipping.

I had my Sleeve surgery on Monday too. I'm doing ok, just some soreness, and very tired. Am doing ok managing puréed food, my only real problem is meds, I just cannot stomach the chewable meds, I can't wait till I can just swallow pills like before.

You are lucky to be on puréed foods already. I had my sleeve done Tuesday and was put on liquids for 21 days post op. I want some texture so bad!

Oh no, that's hideous, I was on liquids only for just one day, then puréed for 4 weeks, and then soft foods for 4 weeks. Then 'normal' foods. I feel great, and am not having any problems at all with any of the foods I've been eating. X
