Hello, 5 days PO from sleeve and I ate the broth from chili (no meat beans etc) just the liquid. I feel fine. I went out to eat with family and that’s all they had soup wise. Will I be okay? Thanks!!

Thanks everyone! & yes they did a leak test in the hospital. But I just stress and think the worst.

Hello, sleeved 4 days ago. I have awful pain on the right large incision. They said this is where they pulled the stomach out. I can’t bend over to tie my shoes, put socks on, get up without pain etc. it literally feels like the insides of me are going to come apart. I called the dr and they said it’s normal. But I don’t see as many people complaining about it like I am. All the pain meds and heating pad is not helping me. I go back to work in 2 days and I’m so nervous. Also I have anxiety that I have a leak.. but everyone says that’s near impossible but I think the worst. Anyone out there having the same issues? Incisions are not black and blue or have puss or drainage coming out. Still have the surgical glue on. Thanks!!!

I am having a lot of pain in the shoulders & chest & collarbone. I have to lay on my back with a pillow under my butt and that seems to stop the pain going to my shoulders. They told me to not take my vitamins until the 2 week mark. Good luck too!!

It’s crazy every dr is different. And I have OCD so I want to be a perfectionist and I’m scared I got the 64 oz of fluids and 60-80 protein goal stuck in my head and if I don’t complete it I’m a failure. But I also don’t want a leak or to stretch my pouch out.

sleeved 4/25. Awful pins in shoulders neck collar bones chest too. I honestly thought maybe I got dropped but nope all that gas I guess. Lol I have been taking gas x chewable, heating pad, and walking to help. It comes and go but the first night was unbearable. Also I noticed sleeping with a pillow under my butt helped not get those pains at night.

I feel like I can drink more than a average patient. I am 2 days post op (4/25/22) and can get almost my full 64 oz and 60-80 grams of protein in. I do get burps after drinking but I get it regardless if I sip those 1 oz cups into 4s or just half it. Hope that makes sense. I am dealing with really bad pain on the right side of my stomach incision but I believe that’s where the DR pulled the stomach out.

Hey everyone. I was sleeved 2 days ago (4/25/22) and I was a SDS so I went home Monday afternoon. They told me to take shots of 1oz every 15 minutes. Anyways I had to go back Tuesday for fluids and a check up. She wanted me to start protein shakes that day. Goal is 60-80 protein and 65oz of liquids. Shakes can count as liquid on my plan. Anyways is it normal I can drink 2 shakes a day & plus 2 waters and a 20oz Gatorade within one day only 2 days post op? I’m scared of leaking or something but when I do drink I take it slow and sip for the most part but I still get burps after. Is this normal?
