I just had the sleeve done on Wednesday, 2/3. The surgery was really painful and immediately had me questioning if I made the right decision. I spent two nights in the hospital. I was really tired and weak. I was unable to take the pain medicine or any Vitamins in pill form. I ended up buying chewable Flintstones Multivitamins with Iron, chewable Calcium citrate and vitamelt B12. I planned on going back to work on Monday the 8th but when I showered, I was so weak that I called out sick. I did go back Tuesday, 2/9 (6 days post op) and have been fine.... I have a desk job. By the following day, my pain was pretty much gone (except if I coughed). I feel that I could have been better prepared for the post-op diet. I have always loved Water but after surgery, it took me almost 3 weeks to be able to drink it again (made me feel like I had a lump in my throat). Make sure you have plenty of juice, maybe some flavor packets to mix in your water, different broths, different flavors of sugar-free Jello, Popsicles and a couple different Protein shakes.
