Im glad your doing better! I too have a cough with a lot of phelm but it didnt start until after my surgery! They gave a breathing machine im suppose to use every hour! But i only use it once a day cause it seems to make me cough more & thats painful. Milk of magnesia was a wondeful tool for me! I was able to get rid of a lot of gas that way. I think I just need to bulch more! Ive been able to most of my liquids down with no problems. Today i got down 24 oz & 60g of Premier Protein. But im taking it slowly though. I make sure I walking around my huge backyard until I get a little tired. About 5x. Tomorrow Ill try to add 1 more lap to my walking.

Hello Dandelion 247! I too am 4 day post op & im experiencing simlar feelings as you are. Most of the pain I feel ,from reading what you said, is most likely from where the extra stomach was pulled out. I find that an ice pack for about 5-10 mins helps. But over all my pain has been tolerable enough I dont have to take my Norco but since i wake up at night with a pain that feels like severe hunger pains, i think tonight before bed i will take some. Hopefully i will be able to get a good nights rest!
Today I managed to get down a little more than 24 oz of Water & 60gs of Premier Protein drink. Plus I had 4 oz of warm chicken Soup. Since I able to eat yogurt & cottagae chesse. I might try those tomorrow.
Im glad you mention that being patient & not letting this be a weight loss race. That good advice. I convinced myself to only weigh 1 week at a time. I weighed myself yesterday just out of curiousity & im down 8 lbs since the day of my surgery! I want make sure i slow down some so my skin wont get to flabby before i can get back to the gym!

Hey has anyone experienced coughing or hick ups afer yoursurgery?
I was given a breathing machine that. Im supposed to use every hour to help prevent pnemonia after surgery but when i did my last breathing test at the hospital they said my lungs were clear & that my Cpap machine will help a lot too with my breathing. So last night I used my cpap & slept pretty good!

i had 3 days of coughing. Its from irritation when they put the bougie down your throat plus mine did an endoscopy to check for leaks

I just started my liquid diet and this being the first time I've ever done a liquid diet, I must say I'm not a fan but that's the way it's going to have to be until the day I can tolerate soft foods. The handbook offered by my bariatric programme says that a key component of the liquid diet is going to be Carnation Instant Breakfast. It tastes awful, but that's not even the worst part. I got the variety that isn't sugar-free (purely by accident) and it tastes like death. That doesn't give me much hope for the sugar-free variety. I have higher hopes for making Tomato Soup with fat-free milk as a high-protein drink.

After a few days I got use to it! You can do it, good luck.

I'm a 37 year old male and my surgery is scheduled for 8/28/17. I'm honestly not sure what to expect with the sleeve. I have yet to encounter any post-op sleevers that regret having this surgery. As my surgery date gets closer, my mood goes from excited to anxious to nervous. I keep telling myself that this is for my benefit in the long run. It's great to be surrounded by people who are in the same situation as me because I need all the support that I can get. Does anyone who's post-op have any suggestions on dealing with the anxiety/nervousness?

I'm currently on the liquid diet & getting sleeved on Monday the 28th. High anxiety right now [emoji21]

[Deegil 42]

Take a deep breath. You will do great!

I just tried some Tomato Soup, using fat-free milk instead of Water to bump up the Protein content. Not half bad, and adds roughly 9g of protein to the Soup.

I'm getting mine tomorrow. I'm so nervous.

[Deegil 42]

Praying all goes well!

Thank you sooooo much. I am too. How about you?
