Sleeved Wednesday July 29th...



Recommended Posts

And feel lousy! Just a general malaise and yucky.....my incisions don't hurt at all and I have just minor twinging when I drink, but my back and neck etc feel like I had a car wreck...I am spending most my time in bed because I'm scared of falling over dog, kid toys etc cause I'm woozy....also thought I'd be constipated but have the opposite.....

Anyone else feel like this? I really thought I'd feel better....

I was sleeved the day before you. It took me a couple of days to recognize nausea and internal pain. Once I started using the post op meds more regularly, I was able to hydrate better and felt better. Hope it gets easier for you.

I was sleeved the 29th too. The neck and other pains finally went away yesterday. I am left with pain when I sip and a million gurgles. And now tonight have pain in the left lower abdomen near my belly button - feels like a sharp burnt pain? What is that?!!! I can not get 64 oz of Water in and barely 1 Protein Shake. So I am w ya.... I feel crappy!

Get out of bed!

I was sleeved on the 29th and I feel great. I made sure to get up and around. I was walking by myself in the hospital the day of surgery. Not a huge amount but enough.

Make sure to take your pain meds on schedule and not too much.

But the big problem is not moving around. If you are just laying in bed you are going to have these issues. You took a huge step doing this surgery and it required strength, show it now and get active. Of course always be safe and follow your doctors advice (which I'm sure was to get up and around).

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
