Any April surgery buddies

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'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 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 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.

      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.
