My surgery is in the morning at 10:30 in Boca Raton with Dr. Shillingford. I flew in from The Bahamas yesterday and leave next Friday. I'm praying I have no gas pains and nausea. Truly praying. Nikki congrats on you surgery. You did great. Linda you are almost there so keep pushing. I will let all you guys know how it goes tomorrow. Hi Pey, I had mine on the 19th. We just missed each other. How are you feeling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peytonkr 20 Posted September 22, 2019 Hey Nikki and Dee. I am doing well after surgery. I had gas pains but it was not horrible and did not last long. Fortunately I had no nausea so that was great. I am struggling a bit with getting in my liquids so I need to work on that. I can not wait for soft foods. It's like my body is so sick of the liquids so it makes me feel like not drinking anything. But I'm still trying to sip sip. Has anyone heard from Linda? Feel like I have not heard anything from her lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tried adding different flavoring to your Water. I seem to tolerate flavored water better than just plain water. chicken broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles. Hang in there ... it gets easier. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caroconcerta 32 Posted September 24, 2019 I was sleeved on September 9th, so two weeks today exactly! The first 1.5 weeks were literal hell on Earth, I had quite a few issues with medication and problems with my doctor, but it's been 100% worth it. I am cleared to eat eggs and meats finally, I can go swimming, and I walked 1.5 miles today and only slightly felt like I was going do die from exhaustion and fatigue! Oh, and I'm down 24 lbs in 2 weeks. That's pretty great. 2 nikkilee72 and Deedee12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peytonkr 20 Posted September 25, 2019 Can anyone who has had their sleeve give me some inventive options for liquids that is close to food as possible? I am do sick of regular liquids like the Protein Shakes and broth. If I see one more broth I'm gonna hurl. It literally makes me gag now Just looking at them. Haven't eaten them since I left hospital. 1 Deedee12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
