I was also done Feb 1st. I felt regret days 1 - 2 but I am feeling much better now. Does your team have you drinking any sugar? I am hypoglycemic and some days I wake up feeling awful because my sugar is so low. My team said for the first 2 week while I am on Clear Liquids only I can have full sugar gatorade or Powerade, cranberry juice or apple juice. I had to do half drink and half juice. the days I feel really bad I will have 8 oz cranberry juice with 8 oz Water. I also got Protien20 water to get some Protein in while on clear liquids. I hope you start feeling better soon. It will all be worth it in the end.

I totally understand. Yesterday was day 5 and I felt good. I woke up this morning feeling terrible. I am so weak today. I am honestly thinking about going to the doc. All I keep thinking is this too shall pass. 😢

Don't play with me..... cause a bitxh is in a size 10 jeans........ ( insert happy dance)

I had my sleeve on Feb 2nd, I'm in day 7, and it's definitely been hard with the bloating, lack of appetite, and the difficulty of drinking anything.

Thank you sooo much for this. It is amazing how strangers can be so much more supportive than my own family. Seriously much appreciated ❤

I had my surgery Feb 1st.
I have to be honest and say I'm having a hard time and at this point I wish I did not do the surgery. I may change my mind as I go along but right now I'm starving, I'm uncomfortable, in pain and just want to sleep cause I'm so weak.
Sorry, I wish I had more positive news to share.

Yeah, for sure! Some of my sips seemed like a teeny drip with barely anything to swallow. Today is much better for me. I’ve already had two Protein Drinks but not gonna lie, not looking forward to the third.
How are you doing, GreenThumb?

Tomorrow is my surgery day, too. Good luck and best wishes!💕

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY. Am excited but nervous as well. Looking forward to the NEW me and this next chapter in my life. I have to go have a Covid test today. Will be glad when I get to say it's done

I remember after my surgery it was recommended to take a sip of Water every 5 minutes to make sure I stayed hydrated. That worked for me back then. As time went on I stopped doing that, as I am able to drink more water at once when I get thirsty. The whole 64 oz of water a day or (insert number) amount of water per day is not true. Obviously we need water and when we are unable to take a lot in at a time we need to follow some strict guidelines to not get dehydrated, but when that no longer applies, your thirst response is a very good indicator of when you should drink water and how much you should drink.

I'll be moving over to the post-op section now, but wanted to check in and say hi, I survived This was not an easy surgery and the past few days have been rough. I really hope this is worth it in the end.

Im 3.5 months out and although I've never in my life been able to burp loudly there's a constant gurgling sound after I eat or drink now. My surgeon said it can last up to a yr and it's my new stomach learning to push out air.. i don't have any wind at all though

So, a week since my surgery. One, you gain about 10lbs in Water weight from all the iv fluids they pump in ya, but you pee them out quickly.
Two, The pain from the hernia surgery far outweighs the pain from the sleeve surgery.
Three, Getting fluids in is rough, because it seems there isn't enough time in the day.
Four, ZERO Hunger, but every time a commercial for pizza or burgers comes on tv I want one.
Five, So far so good. Can't wait to get to soft foods in a week, because the Protein Shakes, Protein water, and yogurt is getting old.
Six, Down 10lbs since the day of the surgery Not including the 10lbs of fluids, 50lb mark overall. Not so bad yet.

Thank you all. 🙂
I am so tired of sip, sip, sipping all day long. I think I’ve finally got my sipping size down. A sip too large and it hurts.

My sleeve surgery went really well! My surgeon said it only took him about an hour. He’d told me it could be up to three. I had a hiatal hernia that he took care of. That probably explains my occasional reflux. He also took a liver biopsy because I’d been diagnosed with a fatty liver. Biopsy is Just so we can tell how much it had progressed. The worst part was waking up with shoulder/chest pain from the gas. Heating pads and walking helped. I’ve been able to slowly sip some Water and Protein water. The hospital broth and Jello was yucky and I didn’t eat them. slept horribly at the hospital though, so I’m headed to bed now. Will check in later.

I’ve been able to get one Protein Shake in and it only took 3 hours. How I’m supposed to get two more in today, I don’t know. If you can’t get the Protein Drinks down, at least be sure you’re getting in enough liquid to stay hydrated. You might try thin out the Protein Shakes with Water. I think I’ll try that next time. Hang in there!

Had my surgery yesterday. I had intense gas pain but now I’m ok. I’ve been walking a lot.
😘

Good Luck!!

Best of luck! I’m right behind you tomorrow. Hope I can sleep tonight!

Feb. 3 after being postponed from November due to COVID. liquid diet starts Wednesday and I keep flip-flopping between being emotional/crying to absolutely psyched and ready! (I'm a LOT of fun to live with right now, lol)

How are you feeling? I started my FMLA today to do laundry, clean the house, and do all the crazy pre-op stuff they've asked me to do. At least if we're keeping busy, there's no time to freak out, right? (I'll save that for when they're wheeling me in, lol.)
