  1. I think as the swelling goes down the water drinking gets easier. It's been easier for me these past couple of days. I don't think you should worry that the water will stretch things. That being said, go slow.
  2. Yup! It's that big left incision. I still have it too, but it's getting better everyday. Doctor said it was normal because that's where most of the "action" happens during surgery.
  3. Pinterest has some great easy recipes. Just search for gastric sleeve diet.

  6. I'm trying with the water, but geeze it's not easy. I've only had about 30oz not counting the protein shake I sipped on all day. I used to drink water like crazy before but this sip sip sip crap sucks. If I do more than a sip I get gas bubbles and uncomfortable.
  7. So, just a brief update since I know there were many getting sleeved this week. I was sleeved Wed April 29th and was released from hospital yesterday May first (2 night stay). I'm actually happy I stayed the 2 nights because the day after surgery sucked. I thought I had made a big mistake with this. Happy to report that I haven't had nausea all day. No horrible headaches either. I had to cut the pain meds completely to get rid of headache. Now I'm just really sore and tired. For all sleeved this week - hang in there.
  8. I love avocados but it might make you gassy early on. I would try very little and see how you feel.
  9. I get this is I go too fast or take bites bigger than the tip of a spoon. I'm hoping it will subside, but try much smaller bites and eat at baby's pace. Not fun, but not much about this is.
  10. For me, the second day was the worst. I had terrible nausea and a horrible headache. Apparently, the headache was from the pain mess. Once I stopped those my headache subsided. I'm 4 days out and still very achey everywhere and tired, but no nausea and no headache. I'll take that over the other anytime. Feel better soon.
  11. Thank you. How are you doing 1 month out? When did you start feeling like yourself post op?
  12. Glad to hear it goes away because when it's bad I start to feel like it will never pass.

  14. Happy to report I was just sleeved. Five small incisions and not too much pain. Soreness mainly. The nausea has been terrible though. Unrelenting even with the Zofran. I hope tomorrow is better. At least I'll be going home.
