Gastric sleeve post op

[MontrockGirl 17]

I had it all, dehydration and Constipation and still a little fresh off the table myself but I drank green tea and that helped. The more you walk the more the gas will "walk" its way out. Congrats and good luck.

Green tea is great...tough one to suggest because it is high in caffeine.... Decaffeinated if possible

Day 5 after sleeve, very tired, little energy, drinking 70+ oz. of Water a day. Premier shake is giving me the runs, taking 2 imodium to control that. Have lost 11.4 pounds so far. Also had my gallbladder removed at the same time as the sleeve. I'm planning to call my dr. tomorrow but does this sound like I'nm in the normal range of post op experiences? Thanks!

Did everyone leave their bandages on. I still have mine on. Underneath is steri strips. I'm not sure if I should let the air get to them or clean and change the bandages. Thoughts???

Surgeon told me to do exactly that
-may shower day after surgery and remove band aids (not to let shower spray directly onto streri-strips)
- steri-strips should be patted dry with a soft towel. Steri-strips will fall off in 5 to 6 days

My surgeon also told me same thing. Day after surgery shower then take off bandages keep steristrips on until they fall off. I’m post op day 7 now and I’ve only had about 1 fall off.
