I’m 3 days post op and got most of the gas out at the hospital. They really get u moving so that helped.

Very sore, but each days get a little bit easier. Not sleeping well bc I’m a stomach sleeper and can’t just yet.

I’m not quite getting my Protein in. First day home I only did 30g of protein and Water. It was tough to drink so slowly and afraid of drinking too much.
But today It’s easier to drink, just not where I should be still with protein intake and fluids

Had my surgery yesterday, 3/9 was able to take sips of Water when I got to my room after recovery. Had a slight fever over night so I have to stay one more day just for observation. I also had my first meals today. Was able to keep down broth, and jello no problem. Have not had much gas pain. Just a little sore in my tummy area.

On March 15th, a butterfly will leave this chrysalis and I am beyond excited!

My surgery date is March 13 😁😁😁.. super excited, and super nervous.. this group if awesome for great tips, and things that actually work... I have my gas x strips, dry mouth spray, colace, tums... not sure if I’ll need them all.. but better to be over prepared I say😜... from all I have read gas seems to be the big issue,,.. on my 6th day of my liquid diet... so far it’s going awesome!!! I drink drink drink... 100-150 oz a day... doc said beter to be very hydrated before surgery 😁😁... HOLY SMOKES!!! Only a few days left 😁😁😁😁.. as long as I wake up after surgery.. lol., I can handle anything 😁😁😁😁...

I am just home today from surgery on the 6th. I have 4 incision sites, one which is very painful- where they removed my stomach. I've not tried gas x but I commented on it in hospital, curious as to why they don't give you any. I'm still on Clear Liquids only.

Someone recommended the gas x strips that melt in your mouth and I have been using those. I don’t have any gas pain, and I think that is why. You should check them out.

My surgery was March 2, 2018. One week out and doing fine.

Well, tomorrow is my big day. I was very anxious up until today. My anxiety was so bad, that I tried to sabotage tomorrow. I am drinking my clear Protein and it tastes good. This all feels right. I am no longer scared. Thank you all for your posts. I will come back and discuss my surgery day at another time. God bless you all and keep being LOSERS!

I had mine on the 5th and I am pretty weak. Can someone remind me why I did this?

Glad you are starting to feel to better.

March 29th. Traveling from NJ to Dallas bc I’m self pay and it is infinitely more affordable there. I am so beyond excited!!!!!!

Don’t feel nervous you got this. Try to go in with a positive attitude everything will be fine. If you have support groups in your area I would suggest attending those too. I learned a lot from my support group and appreciate everything from it.

Sleeved March 1st I am able to drink Water with no issues flavored or not. Protein Shakes I try to take in slower but I am getting it in.

Good news is I haven’t needed to take my diabetes meds since before surgery so that’s a plus.

@JD3787, thanks for your detail. It echoes my own experience (I was sleeved yesterday), but the only significant nausea I had was in the first 30 minutes after waking up in recovery...no puking though.

Hunger for me didn't get easier. I just kept drinking shakes and Water and eating yougurt. I'm here now, checked into hospital waiting to go to my room. My anxiety is sky high. I keep asking if this is the right decision. But I know it is. For my life. I need this to have a LIFE.

Oh my gosh, I am DYING!!! And not really losing the weight that I should be for being on liquids only and starving. I just got other Protein Shakes and unflavored Protein to add to stuff, but in all honesty I want hot wings!
