  1. Hi, Congrats on your surgery! I was sleeved June 27. I felt like I was hit by a bus ....lol but everyday gets better. I'm 9 days out and I feel great. My stomach muscles ache but its tolerable. I was soooo gassy .....it was horrible! It will pass. I couldn't drink ice cold drinks for about a week. They had to be room temperature, it really seemed to help. Good luck to you!
  2. I didn't have a BM till 5 days post op. I was sleeved June 27. It will happen, don't push and strain. Good luck
  3. Oh my....I'm 6 days post op, everything went amazing. But, the gas pains are so horrible! LOL when do they end?
  4. Thank you guys so much!

  12. I got the official phone call Monday, I've been on my liquid diet since Saturday. It really hasn't been that bad! I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it. Reading all the forums on here have really given me lots of encouragement.
