Bobbio99 got a reaction from mytime4me in JULY SLEEVERS- How are you doing?
The 13th for me, hospital for 2 days, bad nausea for 12 hours, then better, went back to work after 10 days, walking every day, up to 1.2 miles, well healed, but can only eat 600-700 cals per day but I am getting 100gm Protein, eggs and cottage cheese, eating proti Soups with some shredded chicken now. Energy seems surprising good for such low cals, down #24 since surgery. And not at all hungry-weird!

Bobbio99 got a reaction from Missy161 in What was the biggest surprise for you at or after surgery? What do you wish you had known?
I am 6 days out and I had a very similar experience to Man vs food. But I was so nauseated for 12 hours I refused pain meds because they cause more nausea. After 12 hours I did not need any pain meds and the nausea was gone. Going back to work next Monday, I feel great

Just sleeved 7 days ago, I thought I was mentally prepared but I had a hard time the first few days, especially while in the hospital since I barely could get any sleep. There was a lot more pain and nausea than I expected. I didn't feel any pain from the actual stomach sleeve, it was the 6 incisions which were like 6 stab wounds that makes any movements that use your ab muscles (almost everything) very painful. It was managed well with the pain and nausea meds (be sure to keep taking them every 4 hours or so) but simple things like shifting around the bed, coughing, sneezing (ouch), hiccups, even peeing the first couple times were painful for me. After coming home and getting a good nights sleep, I was off the pain meds and it was downhill from there. You may feel a lot of regret at first but after the weight starts flying off, it will all be worth it! I'm down 11 lbs in 7 days so I would do it all over again if I had to!
