waterretention 2 weeks Post Op - Water Retention and Bloating
chappella posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So I am 2 weeks post op today and I am down 13 lbs already. I lost 10 lbs the first week and only 3 lbs since last friday. My doc said its just the bloating and water retention. HOW LONG DOES THAT LAST? Only thing I have read was regarding bloating but not water retention. Is this normal? Still tender and occassionaly I have shooting pangs near the incision areas that the doc said will subside but this bloating and water retention is for the birds. So ready for it to go away... -

Sleeve surgery lose 1 week post op
chappella posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So tomorrow will be one week post op. yay, I didn't die... Lol... It has been a definite struggle. Liquids are getting boring but I have figured out cream of chicken soup is much better than broth and very satisfying. It has been my saving grace the last two days. I got on the scale this morning and I am already down 10 lbs. on surgery date I was 231, today 221... 90 more to go.... -

I can't wait to be able to drink more. At 3 days out I can barely take in 60 cc's in one sitting before feeling that tight knot. Glad I found this site. My job is a unique situation where I started a new position so my last day with my old boss was Thur 6/13 and my first day at my new position/new facility (same company) is Mon 6/24. I am a bit scared because I will be in an all day orientation and then have a tour of the new facility which scares me because I am not sure if can make the tour especially if I am feeling the way I am now. -

Hi, I am new to the forum and VGS. Just had my surgery on Fri June 14, 2013. I was releases from the hospital after my swallow test the next day and have a lot of pain. the anti-nausea gives me headaches while the pain elixir makes me nauseated. I guess I really underestimated the surgery. I didn't think I would be in so much pain. Can anyone tell me how long the pain takes to fade? I really need to go back to work as soon as possible but I can't if this feeling continues for too much longer. I am so fatigued as well.
