Hi everyone. I just had my gastric sleeve surgery yesterday. I'm home now and I'm having trouble with drinking my Water and Protein intake too I'm getting full quickly. Has anyone else experienced that after surgery. How long did it last for you? I'm afraid of failing. Please help!!!

Try different temperatures. My doc told me cold temps and plain water could create nausea. I'm drinking everything at room temp. I take very small sips and wait in between each sip to make sure my tummy doesn't get overfull. Try light Gatorade to keep liquids going. At least for the first few days, it's very important to stay hydrated.

How much walking are you doing? Do you have a step counter? I'm doing about 2500 2 days out from surgery. Worried about pushing it too fast.

Well I am now scheduled for surgery on the 14th with preop on the 11th. I am currently offshore on an inspection which is supposed to be completed on Wed which gives me 1 day to get home...now the there has been delays, delays, and more delays. They are now talking about this going on into the following week. I keep telling them I have to be on the beach on the 10th. Luckily we have another inspector with us that can cover the job...but it is pretty nerve racking with all the delays.

Hi all, my surgery date for the sleeve is August 21st. Excited and nervous at the same time but anticipating getting this weight off! Since my spinal fusion in 03 and my spinal implantation in 2016 I struggled with my weight going up and down from 187lbs to 201lbs standing at 4'11". My mobility is limited due to my back. So some exercises are off limits for me. Prayerfully this will help and I can come off the most of the meds I consume.

My date is August 21st too. We're surgery buddies!

Hi everyone. I am 31 years old I have a rowdy little 5 year old about to start kindergarten. My surgery date is August 21st, and I am beyond excited. I keep telling my son that soon I am going to be able to run and play with him. We are both so ready for that! Wish everyone luck. I am a week in to my pre op diet and have lost 5 lbs already. This journey is truly life changing. I love to see everyones stories. So encouraging.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
