Hi There,
I had my sleeve done on the 23rd (3 days ago).
My stats:
Height: 5'2
Highest weight:226
Weight on Day of surgery 214
Weight Day 3: 203
Day 0--My surgery was was scheduled @2:15 pm. I woke up in recovery around 6:30pm with the worst nausea. The nurse helped me walk a bit and i was "released" to my room. The next few hours were horrible for me. I kept heaving which hurt my abdomen pretty bad. The nurse came every 2 hours to have me walk. I was given hearing shots in the stomach i think like 4 times. My blood was drawn like 5 times (over 2 days). I was weak from the heaving so that was tough, I was given anti nausea thru my IV. It took a lot of energy to send my husband a text letting him know I was ok.
Day 1- started off much like the end of day 1. They took me to x-ray to see if I could drink a half cup of sweet cherry testing liquid while they x-ray'd me to see it pass through my system. I passed but the whole time I was nauseated and wondered how I could drink that amt of liquid. The doctor came in and cleared me to go home, but first I had to drink 6 oz of water (placed in 1oz cups) and an additional 2 paper cups of water. Drinking that amt was so tough. Finally the nurse was able to give me gas x (chewable). I went home and slept.
Day 2- I woke up to nausea and thirst. I walked downstairs and poured myself a glass of water and tried to sip it. GAS x is my best friend now because drinking any fluid causes me so much gas. Day 2 goals was drinking 40oz of liquid. I had two sugar free popsicles and got close to the goals but didn't meet it. Overall Day 2 better than Day 1.
Day 3- Today I woke up determined to meet 40 oz goals. I am close. I woke up with less pain and find it easier to move around, just not hungry which is good. I am popping gas x like it is going out of style. The dr called and said that will last a couple of weeks but the more I read about it, it sounds more like 4 mos.
I will update more next month.
Thanks for listening.

Hello,
I am new to this site. I am 48 years old, female, 5'2 and current weight is 216. My official weight at doctor's office was 221, however I am ashamed to say that when I knew I was approved, I ate any/everything and my highest was 226. This crazy pre-op liquid diet helped me lose 10 lbs! Side note: Fairlife has the best testing shakes that fit into my pre-op criteria. They are so tasty and do not tasty "diet".
My surgery is tomorrow 3/23 and I am a little nervous but I guess more excited. Tomorrow morning I will ask my daughter to take pictures of me from all angles so that I can compare as I lose weight.

@Flaca526 hang in there. My first 3 days were rough (though not as bad as yours) but I promise you it gets much better. I noticed I felt better the more I got up and moved around as well. You’ve got this!
