2nd day Sleeve post-op

ooooh, my stomach cramps everytime I drink. I just had the vertical sleeve procedure yesterday, Feb. 5th, so this is my 2nd day post-op. I am following the sleeve diet regimen: 1 ounce of liquid diet every 15 minutes x 12 hours/day. My starting weight was 212.4 lbs and I my goal is 150 lbs.

 

After surgery, I had gas pain which went away soon after my nurse administereda dose of mylicon and pepcid. Other then this, I'm doing fine. As for the cramping, my new stomach has to heal.

Congrats. Keep it up and in no time you will be a new you! I still have 3 months to go with dr supervised diet and exercise - it seems so far off. But I am excited to have finally made this decision. Keep up the good work and post often

I too was sleeved on 2/5 I had more problems with gas yesterday than anything else. I find that if I take to big of a sip I get belly pain but if I take small sips i do better....

I also had gas pain for about a week. My sleeve was done on 1/28/13. My doctor wanted me to just walk...OMG! But finally all over.

But of course! I was taking in the liquids too fast. Thanks Kelly, slow sips did the trick and the cramps lessen much. I was told to do this, but I guess I forgot. Thank God for these forums for support. God luck to all who responded to my cramps. We are off to a new chapter in our lives guys! Lets keep the support going.
