Misty,

I've been pretty lucky in that I've been able to get my 60 oz of fluids in but I always have a cup handy and sip, sip sip throughout the day.

Best,

Max

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

Misty,

I had a VSG on Dec 14th as well and experiencing the same side affects you are with the exception of the itchy bandages. My substitute for that is gas, bloating and diarrhea.

Lortab has relieved most of the pain although it makes me sleepy. I'll be glad when I can get off that medication so I'm not so sleepy.

Even with these temporary side affects I'm still very glad I did the procedure.

Best,

Max

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???
