    2 Days Post Op

    I just drank as I was told 30 ml every 15 min. I saw my Dr 2 days ago and he saidI dont have to do that anymore. Just take a few sips at a time. Im not muchof a drinker anyway and dont feel the need to gulp. I have my water in a marked container so I know how much I have drank and how much more I need to. My prpblem is before surgery I could go all day without drinking.
  2. I've been given the go ahead for stage 2 full liquids. I'm having a really hard time with anything sugar free, it just doesn't taste good and tingled my mouth. Do protein shakes count as a fluid? Drs nut says no my nut says yes. I'm so confused and will be on stage 2 for 3 weeks and soups have to be broth based. Any suggestions?
  3. Is anyone HOT? A week post op today and yesterday and today I feel extremely HOT! No fever but hot and clamy. Today ran some errands and I think the.exhaustion finally hit me. By the time I got into my place I was dizzy and heart.was racing. I took a nice long nap.

    Stage 2

    Ok so I'm down 2 more lbs since yesterday. I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time with no food. I feel like s#$t! I hate artificial sweetners and am so regretting this at the moment. I feel like I'm walking dead. I can handle the fluids but the lack of nourishment is killing me. I'm tellin you the full liquid stage they told.me about before surgey is not the full liquid stage I'm told now. Sorry had to rant

    Stage 2

    I lost 8 lbs as of yesterday which was 6 days post op. I was told I'm not drinking enough. I told them I was drinking 4-6 cups of fluid, 16oz of broth and was told not enough. I don't know how I'm going to be able to go back to work and drink all day long. Now she says 64oz of water, 22 fl oz protien before.I should take on any soup, pudding, yogurt etc. This stinks!
  12. Hmmm not sure. I had to stomach muscles tightened up. But I assume the.skin will be taunt. Will u have drains?
  13. Hi all- I'm 5 days post op and the pain is not too bad. My one complaint is my ovaries hurt! Esp the left one. Is it possible for the remaining gas to settle low in the belly and put pressure on the ovaries? It's Monday and I.will call the office. It's my main source of discomfort. I've been very lucky to not have had any discomfort as of yet with the swallowing of liquids. I am so ready for some nourishment and to move on to the next stage.

    Hungry

    I'm 5 days post op also and I'm hungry, esp in the morning. I'm still on clear liquids though. I have yet to feel restriction but am taking in everything very slow.
  16. You stomach will feel very tight and it will be hard to stand up straight. You will feel great about 2 weeks out to be rid of the pouch. Best of luck

    Surgery Tomorrow

    Good luck
  18. Fage is great! It's my favorite my nut would say no bc of the fruit. U an buy the plain and use sugar free preserves in it. Should really have nothing with more the 7 g of sugar. I hope I go on full liquids tomorrow.

    Was Just Sleeved

    Sick

    I was sleeved on the 20th also and although i do feel bettter i still feel like s$&t! I can say i was def not prepared for this, at the moment i have big regrets. At this point all i can do is hope it gets better and regret fades. A 1 1/2 surgery took over 4 hours, dr said he almost didnt think he could do it. My stomach was a mess from previous band, i wish he chose to back out and not do it. Nurses at the hospital were terrible! And i work for the hospital. No body ever got me up anything i did was by myself! I thought id have support and i dont. Boyfriend was supposed to stay with me for the weekend but went MIA. Im depressed cant stand having to chew my nasty meds and being on liquids and not being able to eat since monday sucks! Im afraid my sleeve is goingto leak and im going to die! Im bored out of my mind and dont know what to do with myself. Sorry for the rant im just so damn miserable.
  24. I was sleeved on wed 6/20. When does it get better? I've been fighting a fever and I feel like I'm carrying around a bowling ball in my stomach.

    Bowling Ball

    Dr said to call if fever got to 100.4 which it hasnt but i keep taking extra strength tylenol. I thinki have a script for liquid percocet, just need a ride to pharmacy. I cant imagine having to get dressed to go outside. When i walk there is so much pressure in the belly. Im taking sips of gatorade every half an hour or so but have also has loose stools 3 times already this morning. Is this normal? Im afraidof dehydration.
