Today is day 4 and i was able to get down about 40oz of Water and a half cup of broth. No nausea no vomiting very little pain. I guess i just had to give my stomach time to adjust to the change. Patience hasn't always been my biggest asset but i see that will need to change quickly. I actually woke up today feeling ok but i won't rush things and I'll trust that my body will do what it needs to in the time is deserves. You all are so wonderful and im so fortunate to be a part of this group.

Remember surgery is a tool. This is the mental stuff that causes us to fail. Yes that's your mom but this is also your life. You took a huge step for your health don't let her vanity ignorance and jealousy derail you

I had my gastric sleeve done on new year's eve 12/31. I haven't felt hunger but i know the half cup of Jello that i have consumed in the time since is not sufficient. I have been focused on staying hydrated. Both are hard because im nauseated which causes dry heaving a lot. Im up to 10oz of Water in an hour if i take my pain meds and my nausea pills which i can only do every 4hrs. I have one incision(ther one the stomach was pulled from) that's killer. Im trying to stay on top of this but i feel like I'm fighting a lot of battles at once.

I'm sorry you are struggling. My understanding is swelling generally peeks 48-72 hours after an injury or surgery and you are still in that window. Hopefully, as swelling goes down the pain and nausea will as well and you'll start to be able to get food and more liquids in.

My sleeve surgery was 12/28. My dr protocol is only Clear Liquids the first week so I wouldn't worry about getting any food in at all. In fact it can be dangerous while your new stomach is healing. Focus on fluids only at this point. Good luck!

I didn't have anything besides for Clear Liquids until day 6. Day 3 was probably the hardest as far as pain and nausea. Just focus on keeping hydrated and healing for now.

It's a lot going on right after surgery. You're focusing on the right thing - sipping Water all day long and staying hydrated. That's key. The food isn't as necessary. It's only been 2 days, starting on the third day since your surgery, so give it a week and I promise it all gets better. Hang in there and good luck on your weight loss journey.

Im literally bringing in the new year with a new me. I would love to connect with someone to share the journey with

Its very normal to have second thoughts i did right up until i was laying on the operating table i was crying and scared as hell...the thing i remember was the anesthesiologist saying im giving her a dose of Xanax as well and i woke up in the recovery room needing to urinate i was surprised at how great i was able to walk had pain but it was way less than when i had my gallbladder removed i was a ice eating hall walking fool that whole night and the next morning until noon when they discharged me

I am also scheduled for surgery on the 31st and have had second thoughts especially when I saw everyone eating all the things I couldn't and won't be able to for a long time. I just keep reminding myself that statistically there's pretty much no chance of losing and then keeping the weight off without surgery. We're almost there don't give up!

You will be able to eat those foods again at some point. Once you lose the weight and are feeling great, you may choose to pass on the unhealthy stuff though.

It is perfectly normal to be feeling this way, it’s a lifestyle change not just surgery, but I guarantee you that you will feel soo much better once you are able to start going back to normal food in moderations. You have to remind yourself, you are in control of your body and what you put in it, yes it’s gonna be a struggle to get back to a new normal lifestyle for yourself but it’s going to be worth it to feel that much better about yourself, it’s a temporary sacrifice for a new wonderful life!

I had surgery Dec 18th at 10pm so basically on the 19th, I have struggled it hasn’t been a walk in the park but I was at 343 the day after surgery and now I’m at 325 in 9 days.. almost 20lbs. I had to have surgery due to my cancer, my oncologist won’t do my hysterectomy till I lose 80lbs but even through the hard time getting to my goal I have no regrets doing it, don’t think about the negative or scared of the what if’s, because the fact of the matter is there is more positives than negatives and there is more to be scared of not doing it and having other health issues because of the weight than to do it.. I’m here if you need to talk and good luck stay positive
