Phatpheet

we only have regular gatorade and there’s no walmart, sadly (I live in Dubai) We do have pocari sweat though, I was wondering if anyone on here knows of it or has consumed it post op...

when were you sleeved? I don’t live in the states, we don’t have SF gatorade or crystal lite where I live but I shall look for substitutes. I don’t experience the chest tightness when i’m full, I just start to feel a bit nauseated and that’s when I stop. but when i think about it, it seems like I can have a few more bites of food so i’m thinking this may not really be my cue to stop... i’m too scared to find out though haha.

I am 16 days post op. Sleeved on the 22nd of November. I’m doing well so far. I’ve gone back to work at 11 days post op. I feel tired a lot of the time. my biggest struggle is meeting my water requirements. I am able to drink around 1 liter (34 oz) of water. It makes me feel really bad and nauseated. I take around 50 grams of protein every day. My surgeon has OKed me for soft foods so I’ve been having scrambled eggs, soft fish and chicken. I have not really been feeling the restriction, which SCARES me... what does “full” feel like??? and how does hungry feel because all i feel is extreme nausea and a little dizziness. any tips on drinking enough water without feeling sick? tips on how to pace yourself while eating soft foods?

They gave me very mild pain killers (paracetamol, really). it’s my first day at home, i got discharged last night. How is your pain level? paracetamol is working but only slightly. I can’t feel the soreness of my incisions because the pain inside my stomach is overshadowing that. Do you know anything about sleeping on your stomach? i did that last night and it was significantly more comfortable than my sides, so i alternated between stomach and back the whole night. Are you getting all your liquids so far? please keep me updated. It’s fun to meet someone who’d been sleeved on the same day :D

Hello everyone! I got sleeved on the 22nd so i’m 3 days post op. I am in a lot of pain - i hate it when people call it discomfort. it’s not discomfort, it’s pain!!! i can’t get up or lay down without help. i feel heavy while walking and i can’t lay down on my sides. please tell me this is normal and it goes away soon... i’m supposed to go back to work in a week and i don’t know if i will be well enough by then (i am a teacher), and i also can’t take more days off. Someone please reassure me.
