I threw up for my first 2 days also. I was sleeved on march 2, and I will tell you that it does get easier by about day 4. I was super miserable those first 2 days and now I can sip and not feel like I am dying and the gas pains are less each day. You can do this!!

I was in the hospital for 2 nights. Surgery was 7:30 am on Thursday and discharged on Saturday. Could not imagine going home the same day or even the next! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I guess that is why I am having the pain too, the hiatel hernia that was repaired. Today I successfully got in one protein shake, a little crystal light and a lot of ice chips--so small step the right way! I find that now as I sip I don't get the pain, but I do get 5-10 minutes later. I guess that is progress too. I weighed myself today just to check in and compared to when o weighed myself last Wednesday I am down 9.2 lbs so that was super exciting to see!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm just hoping that today I can actually sip liquids and not get that sharp pain in my chest. How much air do they put in us? This is crazy!! Lol!! Sleeping is a challenge as I am not a back sleeper and find that my lower back and hips hurt so I often have to change positions or get up and walk and then lay down again. How often after your surgery did you step on a scale just to check in? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm on day 3 post op and while my pain has turned to more of a tenderness in my belly, the rolling gas pains I am still having in my chest make me want to scratch someone's eyes out! I do feel much better today than surgery day and day 2 post op but getting liquids in is still tricky for me and nothing is appetizing. I've been told it gets better each day so I am just biding my time and walking and burping, lol!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi!! I am having my surgery on march 2nd by Dr. Matei. Did you already have your surgery? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Jamie, I am a little further south than you in Broward County, but would love to be each other's support! I am 40 and have a scheduled surgery date of March 2, so a few more weeks for me. Take care, Rebecca Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
