I'm alive, folks. Very uncomfortable, but the pain is not nearly as bad as I had thought it would be. Just trying to belch up all this gas... hooray.Here's hoping to going home today!

Depends on your surgeon. Some say no more coffee... ever. My doctor allows it from the time of discharge after surgery.
I have 2 cups of black coffee in the morning. Never had any problems. But absolutely nothing bothers my sleeve anyway lol

I'm one month post and have a small coffee every morning. Sometimes I don't even drink it all, but it is very therapeutic for me to fix it and start my day off with one:)

I don't know if I'm the exception, but, I was sleeved on the 19th and I feel better everyday. I am getting my fluids in and I started walking for 30 minutes today. I still have a little pain from my incision but I am feeling better. The first two days home were rough, but when I woke up this morning, I didn't have to squirm to get out of bed. I guess that was a NSV! Good luck to everyone.

Hi all,
I was sleeved on Feb 19th and have felt all the same feelings you are going through!
In my mind I keep thinking, I should be feeling better already
But we just need to take time to let your body heel and rest
I'm struggling to sleep at night which is a pain in itself
Tummy is feeling okay, all but one of the incisions which the stomach was removed from.
All I keep reciting to myself is 'pain is temporary' we will get through this!
In a month or so, we won't even recognise ourselves for the better
God bless and good luck to you all!

I was sleeved 2/19 and I'm curious how long before the pain from swallowing goes away?

Truly...I went through the same thing just a few days ago. Give yourself time. The fluids will come as you feel better. I made myself a Fluid goal chart on day 4 (by 8am I'd drink 4 oz. between 9-11am Id have a Protein Shake, eyt) It sounds stupid, but it helped me a lot.

I'm on day 3. We have a secret Facebook group if you would like to join. It's just for February peeps.
