Hey everyone!! HW: 267 SW: 255 CW: 249.5 5'8" Hey y'all I was just sleeved on Friday!! I woke up in excruciating pain and very nauseous. It was also uncomfortable because even though I had nothing to drink in more than 24hours at that point, I had to pee every 45 minutes because of the IV Walking was the worst but definitely makes you feel better right after you sit back down. Although they never said it was ok or not, I also found relief by gently laying on my stomach in bed for 3-4 minutes It is very hard to move easily without help or sit up. It kind of reminds me of going to the gym and workin out abs and you're sore the next day While in the hospital I had 4 of morphine every 3 hours on the dot!! The pain and gas pain for me was bad. I asked for Benadryl 50 mg IV because I started to feel uncomfortable and wanted to sleep. I'm a nurse so I was able to communicate best with what I need Today, 3 days out I feel much better. I'm able to shower, and slowly drink Protein shakes again and move from the clear liquid diet It's so worth it. I lost 7 pounds since Friday Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey all. I was sleeved 9/9. I have lost 67 pounds and people started noticing I lost weight about 4 weeks post op or less!! It'll start to feel so amazing! It's people 3 months and people still call me skinny at my job lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sleeved September 9th!! One week post op 14 pounds down and this is THE HARDEST thing I've ever had to go through. Don't even think this is the easy way out trust me. It's so hard but worth it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey Ryan! I'm 5 days post op. The uncomfortable feeling doesn't change until at least two days after. On day 3 and 4 you start to feel so much better. Today I feel 80% back to normal. I do get this super painful tightening feeling whenever I am standing up from a sitting position. The sipping of the liquids is going to be your best bet to move the gas. Also, walking around a lot. No matter how uncomfortable it is. With the IV you should be wanting to pee a lot anyway lol. Have you gone to do your xray yet? My doctor ordered an X-ray the next day to make sure there was no obstruction or leaking. Right after that is when I was cleared for all liquids!! It will get better I promise. I am 14 pounds lighter since Friday!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey! I'm also 4 days post op today, and I know exactly how you feel. I was in so much pain the first two days. Today I woke up Feeling 100000% better. I have been walking a lot! And only need to take my pain medication once a day. I just started farting and burping today which is the best feeling ever. I agree about the liquids part!! I drink a lot of Water no problem. But getting down the Protein is a lot because it's so filling!! I am so excited for you and when you start to feel better. It's the greatest feeling today. I was in tears once I realized today is my new birthday! I feel alive. HW: 267 SW: 257 CW: 246.5 4 days post op and 11 pounds. Follow the rules and it'll work Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks girl!! Today was definitely my better day. Only problem I'm having is being obsessed with the scale lol I lost 11.3 pounds since the day of surgery and I can't wait to see the number going lower and lower. I haven't been under 250 in a long time Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The pain is the one thing I was most worried about. Also the solution they make you drink the day after surgery to check for any leaks or obstruction is gross!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey everyone!! Wow I am so interested in everyone's progress. It goes to show you how different everyone is. I could not even imagine using a waist trainer right now. I would easily throw up! Yes the Benadryl was to help me sleep. I was so uncomfortable and the morphine alone was not enough. The last dose they served it with 50 mg of IV Benadryl and I knocked out Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
