Have you tried gasx for the chest pain that may help.

My day was day 6 I almost passed out in the shower yesterday and felt horrible! I had appointment with my surgeon yesterday. He said it was just body adaptation. I also needed fluids so I had to get hooked up to an IV for 2hrs! Today I feel a little better but my stomach is very sore and I'm getting hot flashes when walking around that make me super nauseous! Went to check out a gym thought I wasn't gonna make it got home drank some poweraide felt better. I also started pureed foods and my stomach is always growling I feel hungry I'm so ready to be through this phase!

How far out are you?

It's bittersweet to hear I'm not the only one struggling! I was sleeved on the 13 th. Yesterday I almost passed out in the shower was lightheaded felt absolutely terrible ...when I walk I get dizzy. I went to hospital got an infusion and labs. The fluids helped a bit I feel better than yesterday but not 100%. I to have been wondering if I made a mistake! I started on pureed foods today but honestly I'm scared to eat because I don't want to get sick. I ate half of a scrambled egg 1/3 cup of cream broccoli and 1/4 cup of SF pudding. Weird thing is my stomach is always growling does it ever go away....I'm so ready for the healing phase to be over...

You look fantastic!

I just found the eggface blog today and she has wonderful ideas!

I was really sore but I got up right after I came up from recovery and went pee. Then was able to get up and pee on my own after and walk around. Sitting up was rough as well as turning over. I slept on my stomach last night. Only taking pain meds at night. To help sleep. Gas pain on and off was really bad right out of surgery but it gets better. I'm just ready to start this new chapter in my life!!!!

I was sleeved on May 13 th. I'm doing pretty well...so hard getting in all of the protein. Water which I hated before is my new best friend. 5 days post op and I'm still really tired and weak. Tomorrow is my first Dr appointment hopefully move to mushy foods! Any one else feel weak and lightheaded? I'm so ready for my energy to return! Good luck to you all!
