blondechic 15 Posted July 13, 2018 Had my sleeve done 2 days ago. I feel worse now than right after. Every muscle in my body hurts. It hurts my calves just to walk. I can't feel my stomach still under numbing meds. A lot of gurgling going on. Hope it gets better soon! 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Letsgetgoing2018 448 Posted July 13, 2018 I am day 3 post op. Lot of gurgling and some pain when liquids go down. Up until yesterday I vomited every time I changed positions but that has stopped. Tolerating Jello and ice pops now in addition to the Water. Haven’t tried juice or broth yet. Hoping each day gets a little better. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will get better. One day at a time. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYJenn 1,463 Posted July 14, 2018 Had mine on Tuesday. Just super tired. No more pain pills, just Tylenol as needed. Hurts when I laugh, like I did a million sit ups 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lastchance_2018 11 Posted July 14, 2018 Had mine on the 3rd, the first week was rough. I was back @ the hospital Monday because the doctor thought I had developed an abscess - thankfully the CT was clear. I seem to be on the mend, but still not overly optimistic. First week out I was depressed and felt like I made the biggest mistake of my life and instead of being on the road to better health I was in a nightmare. Tired of people saying this is the "easy" way...c'mon, this hasn't been easy @ all. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s brutal at times for some of us. Hang in there. Best of luck for a speedy recovery. 2 Frustr8 and libbyleeb reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted July 14, 2018 You have just run a marathon for your health. There were twists and bends, steeply uphill at times, moments when you don't know how you are going to continue. You are stiff now, sore in places you never noticed you had before, you feel like just sitting down, just watching instead of competing, but no you are going to keep on. It's a race, but it's Your Race, yours alone and suddenly, in a moment of clarity you realize you can and will make it after all. I And I will be cheering you on for my own race will be starting soon and I want to do as good as you, to run as smoothly on my own race. If I see you ahead, I won't quit either. So,keep going, Please? 2 sbeveridge and Neversaynever reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingertastic 5 Posted July 14, 2018 I had sleeve done on 7/2 and left hospital 7/4. I’ve struggled with getting my liquids in but haven’t had to go to hospital. I’m off the pain meds but still feel sore and exhausted. Lucky for me my pain meds was in liquid form but no such luck with my ADD and blood pressure meds. 🤢 I’m still super confident in my decision though and haven’t had any regret. We got this!

Letsgetgoing2018 448 Posted July 14, 2018 Well I’m day four post op. Every day has gotten a little better. Really drinking well. Having Jello and ice pops as well as Water. Will try broth later on today. No more nausea thank goodness. Pain is bearable. Mostly when I attempt to get out of bed. Just have to splint. I hope all of you who are freshly post op are coming along well. Each day is a better day. Stick with the plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
