Hi all, Late to the party, but I too was sleeved on the 17th. I've lost 19 lbs as of this morning (5 pre and 14 post). I'm still facing some nausea, especially when taking meds, but it is getting better and I am starting to tolerate full liquids today. I had a hard time over the holidays with all the food...my brother is a foodie/chef and went all out, so I definitely did some chewing and spitting, which was somewhat satisfying. After surgery I started having a recurring nightmare about going out with friends, forgetting I'd had surgery and taking a big bite of one of my favorite foods. Then I would panic, realizing what Id done, the friends call 911 and I am rushed to the emergency room....needless to say, my fear of ruining the surgery trumps my need to chew. And I also cannot wait until my solid foods phase in 17 more days!!!

Hi all...I was sleeved on the 17th as well and doing ok other than the nausea. Anyone else experiencing that? Surgeon upped my antacids but I'm still having symptoms. it was suggested I might be drinking too fast but cant imagine thats it because i really stick to his no more than 2 oz in 15mins formula. If anyone has any suggestions for managing the nausea, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Had surgery at 9 am and now lying here with horrible insomnia. I'm on pain meds but they don't feel strong enough at all. My doctor uses a drain and that area is what's killing me! Any advice on how to sleep with a drain other than taking a sleeping pill? We can only take those tmw.
