I'm having my GS surgery a week from today and am feeling emotional. Anyone else?

Well I did it,I had my gastric sleeve Monday morning. Here are the things I did not expect. The gas pain in my upper chest and back 😫 Finally going away. My #1 tip WALK WALK WALK those hospital halls and try to break it up. It may not seem like it's doing any good but it will pay off!! Taking even the smallest tiniest sip of water hurts and not in a nasuse way but in a sharp shooting pain. I have no tips on that one and I'm trying really hard to get fluids down.

Tomorrow will be a week since my sleeve. I can't complain much and everyday gets easier and easier, however today out of nowhere I started randomly coughing and gagging. I had been over a hr since I had drank anything. Anyone else experience this?

I'm having the same uncomfortable feeling after I drink. Mine also doesn't last long but it's annoying.

Today was the first morning I woke up and felt like my stomach was empty and I was a bit hungry. Took a few sips of my protein shake and I'm good. I think it's just a lot to get use to.

I'm 4 days out and I'm having this constant feeling like I have a bubble stuck in my throat. Anyone else experience this and if so what is it?

Best of luck to you!!!!

Yes how did you make out?

On week 2 of optifast diet and I'm so sick of it that I'm not even having the 5 allowed optifast suggested shakes and soups a day. Anyone else not doing it to a T?

I'm on optifast I'm allowed 3 shakes 1 protein bar and 1 soup. I've lost 10 pounds but with that said I think it's because it runs right through me😫As long as you are following it you'll be ok!

I go on Monday so I certainly understand the nerves! Best of luck to you!!

I'm so glad I'm not alone in feeling this way! I'm feeling a lot better just knowing this is not abnormal.

Hello. Yes I am on week 2 of my liquid diet. I'm thinking that's not helping me feeling wacky.

Thank you for your response!! Im on a roller coaster of emotions and it's making me anxious. Glad to hear this is relatively normal.

I'm scheduled for the 13th and am feeling the same way! Anxious and emotional😢
