Any April surgery buddies

[melpoo 7]

Hi all,
I’m new to the app. But just for sleeve Friday. I’m home now and on the first day so full liquids. I’m finding it hard to eat/drink much of anything but at least it’s staying down today. First day out was horrible!

I was sleeved April 3. Am I the only one who was immediately put on stage 2 diet the day after surgery? Seems like everyone is on Clear Liquids except me. I actually havent tried eating anything beyond yogurt since coming home because I'm having a hard time with getting it in. I've only been able to drink 1 full bottle of Water on 1 day. Today I'm trying to drink at least one full Protein Shake and 2 waters throughout the day

I’m 2 days out I was on clear liquids the day of and the day after. Today was my first day of the full liquid diet which is to last about 2 weeks. If finding it hard to eat. I’m maybe halfway through a Premier Protein shake for the whole day.

I find it hard to finish my drinks as well. I actually drank a full Premier Protein today. It took me about an hour to do so. I managed 8 oz of Water as well. Today is looking better. Hopefully it will continue this way

I'm glad things are staying down.

I had issues after surgery but as soon as those were resolved I went to stage 2. I'm having a very low energy day.

I havent caught up with my energy either. Even with the daily Vitamins.

I'm currently in the post liquid/pureed stage...but I'm looking ahead by finding recipes that will benefit me in the near future. What are some foods that works well with the stomach and what are some NO NO's..besides sugar,bread, and carbonated drinks.< br>

I still have gas pains and walking isn't helping. Nights are the worst. I have to hold my incision site to walk, it still pretty raw. All apart of the healing process[emoji4]

I can’t even imagine trying to get my Vitamins in. I’m trying to get the pain, nausea, protonix, and gas meds in just to stay comfortable. I feel like it’s not enough room for anything. I can hear the Fluid going down and feel a little pain when it hits the stomach. So I’m trying like 1 oz or 2 have hour or so. My pre op diet was all shakes no meat and oatmeal for Breakfast with sugar free Jello or popsicle in between. The day prior or surgery and they day after I was on clear liquid. Today I’m on full liquid and it’s a struggle. I’m halfway through a shake. I had about 6 spoons of cream based Soup. The nausea meds and gas-x has helped greatly today. Unfortunately the staff at the hospital were not giving them to me on schedule so I was really uncomfortable until I got home and was able to stay on schedule with them.

I found that walking at whatever pace you can helps the gas tremendously. The walking helped me more than the gas pills. The hospital had me walking every 2 hours from as soon as I woke up until I discharged and I continued to walk around my house. Try it.

I've just had some low sodium chicken Soup. I cant stand just broth. It was amazing.

I walked every hour or two. That didn’t help with gas. It make me extremely nauseous. And I would vomit mucous because not much fluids were in me. But now taking the nausea pills I am about to walk around the hour much better. Walking with the pills seem to work best or me. “Dry heaving” is the worst with raw incisions.

I've been walking around the house and pacing around my bedroom and a little toot here and there but nothing much. What did work though..funny...I leaned my upper half on my body on the bed and stuck my booty in the air.....and it worked. I don't know why but it did.

I’m not puréeing anything. I’m following the liquid diet now

Wow I didnt have it that bad. I couldn't imagine heaving with a sore tummy. Sorry to hear that.
