I am home, I was sleeved on 8/31. I stayed one night, my main complaint was gas pain and nausea. I was up movin around 2-3 hours post op. My biggest concern now is nausea and feeling soooo weak. I'm scared I'm not getting enough fluids. I peeing a normal amount but was pumped full of fluids yesterday. I feel like I could just sleep all day. Im sore this is all normal but just wanted to hear other people's experiences.

I was similar to you, up and walking fairly quickly. pain in one site more than the others and could not lie on my sides at all. I did not feel the need to pee at all and they kept reminding me to go do that. Ad some sugar free cordial to you Water, it is much easier to stomach than plain water. I slept a lot and rested a lot until about half way through the second week. Just keep on sipping.

Is it supposed to hurt a little when you sip on water/liquids? I was sleeved on 9/1 and syoer struggling with liquids. :(

I was worried about the pain too. Anything I ate or drank felt like a knife in my chest. It went away in a week. Now I only have pain if I eat too much.

Congrats to all that have been sleeved and made it through the first week. I am still 10 weeks out or so due to my surgeons busy schedule and getting in for my pre-op appointment. I'm with Kaiser in Northern California and I must say that their Bariatric Department is wonderful.

I'm not too worried about the pain as I have had 2 MAJOR abdominal surgeries and did pretty dang good with the pain. I did it with very little narcotic pain meds, mostly Tylenol.

For me my biggest concern is getting in all the Water that is needed the first week. Any suggestions on how you all accomplished that.

Again, congratulations to everyone!

For the people that recommended sugar free ice pops how soon did you start that? I was sleeved 9/5, only have pains in my chest but I'm assuming that's from gas. I noticed the diet Snapple is too sweet

I started them that day. My surgeon had me start Clear Liquids right away. I couldn't stomach anything but Water for the first 2 days. Now, I'm on full liquids and doing great!

I was the same - I couldn't really stomach anything till day three - and anything cold would make my stomach cramp like crazy. Day 6 (yesterday) I was able to drink cold proten shakes and sugar free pops have been heaven!! I have 5 kids and a husband that love icecream, so it's nice being able to have something with them! :)

Did you guys have your incisions stapled? How are they doing?

I odered Vitamin patches! Should be here soon!

At the hospital I was up and walking a lot and came home and all I want to do is sleep. I do get random burts of nausea. There's a lot of pills to remember to take, acid reflux pill, the pill that prevents nausea and the pain pill. The vitamin patches are my saving grace. I put it on at 7pm and take it off 7 am. I'm day 3 post op and hopefully find a swing in things. Sunday I can introduce Protein Shakes !!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
