I don't know if you're a coffee drinker, But I am. I like to get my Protein in by mixing a vanilla Protein Shake with one cup of black coffee. I poured over some ice and pretend it's iced coffee. I think the black coffee take some of that sweetness away..

I had a few days after the surgery that I felt exactly that same way. Of course check with your care team!!!! I did some research and what I found was that your body might be in ketosis, And the start of that generally makes you feel like you have a bit of flu.. I kind of chalked my symptoms up to that and I felt much better a couple days later..

My skin on my face is angry. I have always tried to take care of my skin as best I could but since the surgery my face is just awful. I plan on mentioning this to my surgeon tomorrow at my post op appointment, but has anybody ever had these issues? Skin on my face is red and burning and flaking. I am moisturizing. Picture below

I personally haven't but I would advise you to watch out for pneumonia.

Hi!! I’m scheduled for December 28 and I’m looking for some buddies within a week or so of the same date. I’m so nervous/excited!! I need an accountability friend, though, someone who understands what’s going on. [emoji16]

Kinda wondering the same...I start back work on Monday, I'll be 12 days post op.. I'm starting a new job, with a new company. [emoji51] I'm a bit nervous but I am hoping it will all be fine.

Today I am 10 days post op, and after what feels like 97 years, I can go to the full liquid diet. [emoji119] I just had 1/2 a cup of creamed Soup, strained. Mentally, I feel SO much better!!!! That being said, what are your go to full liquids? ??

If my doctor would let me eat these things this week, I would be so much happier.

I actually got the soft gel gas x. They sent me home with NO pain meds. I am getting them tomorrow. I also have what they call the sleeve blush. I dunno if anyone else has this but it’s caused my chest to go red and face a bit. I am super pale but this scared me. I called the nurse and she said it was probably a reaction to anesthesia.

I’ve done Water, Gatorade zero popsicles, and I may try warm tomorrow morning. I am up walking. I wish I had a little bit of pain meds so I can fall back asleep.

These 48 hours have been rough. I expected it but still rather rough.

Hi all, I'm new here. My name is Rachel and I'm 34. I had my sleeve done 12/23. I also had a hernia repair as well. I feel very blessed that I have not had any nausea or any other major side effects. Haven't had a lot of pain at all surprisingly. My main struggles have been gas pains, burping, and a very strong tightening sensation when I swallow. I have been very tired since the surgery and find myself having to take naps during the day. Something I am not used too. But anyway just wanted to introduce myself!
