Im so happy to hear your nausea is getting better. My surgery was on the 12 and the nausea is awful. If it wasnt for that I'd be running laps! Well not really but I'd feel a ton better. [emoji4]

Sorry to hear that! Did your doc send you home with some anti nausea meds? I got sent home with some and was told to slowly wean off them and the paracetamol so it wasn't a shock to the body.

Had my first post op visit today! Got some IV fluids for dehydration...funny how quickly that sneaks up on you. Looking back, I've been really nauseous so I haven't been drinking like I should. I was told part of my nausea could be from dehydration. It's a vicious cycle. Don't drink enough because I'm nauseous and nauseous because I don't drink enough. I'm feeling much better now after the fluids. Also, my diet was advanced! I'm now in full liquids for a couple weeks. I had Tomato Soup tonight and it was delicious.

Hope you all are healing well and for those of you in the home stretch, good luck!

that's a good reminder KCRN..it does sneak up sometimes...congrats on getting your diet advanced! I'm living for Wednesday when hopefully that will happen for me at my first follow up! are you feeling good now? been doing better with the fluids/nausea?

HI Jeannie, I only had one day of pure liquid pre-op, The day before surgery. I was told to lose 6 pds and report to the office the day before to weigh in... if I had not lost 6 pds he would have to reschedule. I lost 10. Just sensible eating and doing what I should have done all along. I probably wouldve cancelled if I had done 2 weeks of full liquids before. LOL

oh wow -that's some pressure but thankfully it worked out! I am on liquids only for the 2 weeks post (have until the 21st) and I'm already getting a bit stir crazy on it and it's after I'm sleeved...god bless these people who had to do it pre-op!

Hi all! I was sleeved 12/12. Came home 12/13. Jumped on scale just now and I'm up ten pounds.

Don’t get discouraged

Yes, I had surgery the 4th and recovered well. Off pain meds day 3, no complications at all...... Except I'm hungry all time which I wasn't before. Nothing seems to satisfy it. I'm hoping that since I advance diet today it will be better. I licked a French fry the other night. I've dropped 20 lbs so far and I'm following my post op menu. Something's not right

I had surgery dec 11th so about five days out and the only incision that aches is the main one. I have absolutely no appetite lol but for some reason I want refried Beans lol!!! I licked a candy yesterday and felt totally defeated for doing it but I got on the scale this morning and seemed to have dropped more lbs it’s a mental thing I think

[Jeannie49 101]

I'm 9 days out now...and I know I'm in full fat burning mode. My post op 2 week diet is only 8oz of Protein Shake total each day plus fluids. I know I'm in full fat burning mode, not just from the scale but apparently I have the ketosis breath that comes with low carb diets. It's really bad - my poor husband.

Anyone else experiencing this or know how long this should last? when I research I get that it can last while you're eating low carb...eek.

Yes, feeling much better, thank you! I left the infusion center where I got my fluids feeling like a new woman. Yesterday I actually got all my Protein and more than enough Fluid in for the first time since surgery. Hope your follow up goes well!

I had sleeve surgery yesterday and just got home from the hospital. I’m trying to decide what I want more, shower or bed!
