Hi I'm only 6 days post op but I am really struggling getting my fluids in. I have lots of gas and have to force myself to do little burps after every single sip I take. Is this normal??

Who was your dr eggswithslegs

Day 5 Struggled to get all my fluids in. Had two drinking yoghurts which were a nice surprise. A few sustagens. Will try harder tomorrow

Day four - surgeon came in this morning. Yippee, I'm aloud to go home today. Bit of an unsettled night, had some discomfort in my right side, not sure why. Hurts when I pee and if I moved suddenly. Had first BM today. And was taken off IV in the middle of the night. Apple juice this morning was like the best present ever. No scales yet, but hopefully didn't gain to much from all the IV fluids.

Thanks. It feels better to know that I wasn't alone feeling this way. Still not nauseas now, 28hrs not being sick. Drinking my fluids.

Weight day of op 118 kg (perth story) Day one was fine. I was in surgery first up 8am, Barack to my room at 10.30am. I had minimal pain and discomfort until 6.30pm when the nausea started. I was being sick every 45-60 mins. Not much sleep night one. Day two didn't change. I had to have my swallow test postponed for a few hours while they tried to reduce my vomiting. I must have had three injections and countless things put in my IV. Did the swallow, pretty nasty actually. Vomiting easing by night, but didn't completely stop until 4am. Day three and still in hospital. Vomiting stopped early this morning and I can finally start sipping my Water. It's slow going. Walked the corridors a few times, showered and relaxing with gossip girl. Preying for a good night sleep. And that my surgeon lets me go home tomorrow.

This Thursday for me - feeling nervous

Was your surgeon dr dolan? It seems strange that you have been able to eat those types of foods already. I go in on Thursday. This isn't sounding what I expect from the sleeve.

Than you. I guess I had never had to say it out aloud before. That I failed. It was confronting. I know I am doing it for the right reasons.

So this Thursday is my surgery day. I had only told my husband and my parents up until now. I had my band removed 8 weeks ago, and was ashamed to tell his family, I couldn't handle them judging me. So today I wrote out what seemed like and easy text message, but wasn't... It took all my will to say that I am embarrassed of my weight and my failure with band. I'm ashamed I can't do this on my own. I want to be healthy and here for my children. Talk about a moment of reflection, I prey that I don't fail at this one. CW 264

I'm being sleeved 1/16 and really appreciate your posts. I had my band out 7 weeks ago. Not looking forward to another surgery. Them pain in the shoulder really was unbareable. It's just trapped air. Mine took about 12 days to go

Not tight at all. Keep up the good work. 44lbs is an awesome loss.

I'm in the same boat. I had my band out 4weeks ago after having it since 2005. I had success early and lost 80lbs, but gradually put it on after having two children. I've been struggling since the removal, food is my enemy. I am scheduled for my sleeve on the 16 January. Looking forward to following you all on our journeys x

So I'm thrilled mine is only 8wks in between

Yes Midijola, I'm in Perth. I think 6mths is a bit excessive, especially as I'm gaining weight In between the surgeries. Dr Dolan is great.

I'm in Australia. Dr Dolan took my band out 3weeks ago. I am booked in for the sleeve in 5weeks. He is extremely experienced in revisions. I am so happy without my band, but have piled on 5kgs in 3weeks. So unhappy about that!!!!!

Walking helped me when I had my band out and heat packs because the pain had gone into my shoulders. I'm due to be sleeved in 7 weeks. Keep up the great work 6lb in 3 days is awesome

You look great!!! Amazing achievement.

Hope it went well x

Thanks everyone. A heat pack and pain meds helped last night, and I did a lot of walking today. Significantly less pain tonight

Hi all Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of the pain associated with the air the surgeon puts in your chest during surgery. I had my band removed 4 days ago and the pain in my shoulder from the air is unbareable. Thanks in advance 7 1/2 weeks til my sleeve
