Update - 8 days out. I feel a lot better. Still waves of gas pain but not horrible. Still barely getting calories in but I've discovered that putting a drop or two of peppermint extract in my Protein Shakes takes some of the sweetness away and makes it much more refreshing! Down 12 pounds since surgery but not much change in how clothes fit so I'm looking forward to that. The hardest part is the sipping every 5 minutes. Takes too long to get food in! But I'm adjusting and looking forward to being able to have applesauce and cottage cheese and other mushy foods in 13 days!

I am right there with you Mama! I was sleeved yesterday and am going through all the same miserable crap right now. But stay with it! You are not alone and we will all get through this!

Aw....surgery is tough and pain sucks! You will begin to feel better quickly but soreness is a given. You'll be fine. Make sure you do a little walking regularly. That will get that gas moving faster. Gas-X is not endorsed by everyone. It is meant to treat gas in your digestive tract. The gas you have is in the body cavity, which will only come out with time. This is day one so use a pain pill if you need it. I only used it that first night and that was reluctantly. Keep sipping that Water and Protein. It will speed up the healing process and give you energy. You really need that right now.
It won't be long before you are feeling great, you'll see that scale move in the right direction and it will all be worth it. Good night and rest well.
Take care
