    I have been okay. I tried to walk around yesterday and it was too painful. I went into two stores and it was over. But ima keep trying. I guess thats the only way to heal faster. Fluids are okay. I walk around all day with a 32oz water bottle. I haven't been able to get in 64oz. It hurts. And im trying to stay away from my pain meds i hate how they feel

    I doubt you're actually hungry but suffering from head hunger. My surgery was the 15th and all I've been able to think about is eating a sandwich (stupid Subway commercials). My surgeon said I could eat yogurt, which I've enjoyed because it's not too sweet, but having strained Soup has saved me. Broccoli cheese and Tomato basil. I wanted the salt and broth wasn't doing it.
    Also, once I started feeling better more of the foods I could eat started sounding and tasting better. Good luck and it will just be a few more days before you get to pureed food!

    So i can have condensed soup?? Thats would help!!!

    You should be able to sleep however you want as long as it's not causing any pain to you, is what my doctor said. I used lots of pillows. It's uncomfortable the first few days but will get better. I was sleeved 2/12/18.

    If the large incisions calms down and next pains didn't exist id be 100% better lol i tried to walk today in stores etc...and nope too painful

    What everyone else said - walking, sipping, sleeping, hot showers, heat. It gets better.
    The rumblings are your intestines waking up from anesthetic - this takes awhile - you could hear mine from across the room!!! Your sleeve will feel empty like this until more solid food is introduced. Main goal is to push fluids all the time because once you get dehydrated it is nearly impossible to get caught up by sipping. Hang in there.



    Im trying. Its just so painful. It affects my sleep

    So sorry you're experiencing this:(
    On the plus side....you can use the extra hours you're awake to stay well hydrated. Be careful of sleeping too much and getting behind on your hydration.
    I know it's tough. I promise it gets better in time.

    Your right in that way lol. Gatorade and Water has been heaven ha ha. I can barely sleep because of the pain. So im defiantly sipping

    Sometimes when they do a sleeve, they also repair a hiatal hernia (a little extra space where your esophagus passes through your diaphragm) ...it's pretty common.
    Reason I brought it up, is that the hernia repair will often cause deferred nerve pain that you feel in your shoulder. How weird is that? But yeah...the neck and shoulder pain you're experiencing might be nerve pain from that region.
    I had it, too...and I know it's miserable. Walking helped the rest of me feel better quicker...and alternating hot and cold packs on my shoulders helped. I think I liked hot the best.
    Pain went away after a few days....got a little better each day. I know it's miserable. Wishing you the best.

    Its just so painful ive been trying that. My right side is the worse. I can't sleep comfortable at all

    Thank you all who wished me luck. Surgery was smooth. However the pain in my neck and shoulders sucks! I use a heating pad. And have my husband massage it time to time and pain meds suck they don't work at all. I just need advice on what to do. I think that pain bothers me more than my stomach incisions . Also i noticed i feel or at least think my stomach is rumbling for food ...is that normal. I only do Clear Liquids as followed. But any advice how to sleep? Ive been sleeping sitting up and its not helping

    liquid diet was worse than surgery in my opinion. Was torture.
    Don't cheat.
    If you're going to cheat, cheat with Protein, and absolutely no carbs. It's the elimination of carbs that shrinks your liver.
    Don't cheat.
    it gets easier after your will to live is broken and you give up. For me, this happened around day 3-4. LOL:) Laugh or cry. We laugh to survive.



    What was your outcome from a 5 day liquid diet
