At 4 weeks, how are you feeling? Are you losing weight? I'm 3 days post op. Misty

Max, So you & I are at the same stage of our recovery journey. I must admit, I have thought "what have I done", but then I realize that I am sore & recovering and when I feel better & see weight loss it will all be worth it! How much fluids are you getting down? One person on here drank 33 oz of Powerade & 8oz of broth. I am not getting that much in. It hurts the most when I am swollowing liquids. I know the liquids are important so is that breathing thing we should do every 2 hours. We can get through this

How do I add a pic for my profile pic & ticker?

kgremmy- Wow 33oz of drink plus 8oz of broth. I'm not getting that much down. I'm trying to drink as much as I can. I've had no weight loss yet. I'm still swollen and bloated in my belly area. I'm going to give it more time before I'm concered about weight loss. klus- I have a problem with crystal light cuz it's so sweet. I have been eating Jello & drinking mostly Water & broth. I'm ready for next week so I can have Protein shakes. Cinderella- I am on liquid loratab elixir. Trying to decrease the doses. I only want to do pain meds for 1 week, but the hernia must be causing some additional pains. lila21- Seems like a lot of sleeve patients have herinas repaired during this surgery. Is your pain right below your breast plate? Kinda high above stomach? I'm only 3 days post op so I'm trying to hang in there. I do feel hungry at times, but a few sips of broth and I'm full. Still some issues with blurred vision. Only when I look at words, the computer, Iphone, & read things. Watching tv is fine. Thank goodness cuz that's all I can do. I am walking around the house trying to get rid of the bloated gas in my belly. Praying for me and all of you! Take care

I had the gastric sleeve on Tuesday Dec 14th. I'm 3 days post op. Every time I swallow Water, crystal light, & broth I can feel it scraping down my throat down to stomach. Did anyone feel this? I have blurred vision also. Did anyone experience that? My bandages are ichy too. Were yours? I had a hernia repaired at the same time as sleeve surgery. I wonder if some of my pain is from that???
