I must say I do feel alot h better than when I first had it done! I was cryin because I was sooooo uncomfortable! Its just really uncomfortable like a bag hangover! Other than that I feel ok! But we will see! Its just post-op day 1!!!! I am happy to be on the otherside!

Yay!!!! Remember walk walk walk and sip sip sip... It will get better every day!!!!

Welcome to the losers team....I know that it is hard right now. Try to stay positive, walk, and sip. The Gas X strips I still use they are a Godsend . You are going to feel a little better everyday. If you have any questions or need to vent we are all here for you!

Congrats! The first day out of surgery is the worst, then it's all downhill from there!

Congratulations! Those first couple of days make you go "What did I do?" But, it is all so worth it. Around day 4 I found myself thinking ... "this isn't so bad". Just focus on walking and sipping as much Water as you can.

Welcome to your new life!

Thanks guys! I really do feel like crapon a stick!! I have sooooooooo much gas I can explode if u poke with a needle! This is the downside of the surgery!!

I found the gasx chewables way better than the strips. Try both to see which is better. You'll feel so much better once the gas is out. Glad to hear all went well though. Welcome to the losing team ; )

Oh yeah I felt that way to. I did the gas-x and heating pad. Also I walked even if it was just to the kitchen or down the hall. I even walked around in the front yard. It does get better. Hang in there.

I am super impressed with you!! I couldn't even look at a computer to type words...I was soo loopy. It will get better every single day!! I had BIG regrets after surgery. I hated not feeling like myself. Now I am almost 11 weeks out and I LOVE my sleeve. I am never hungry and I have confidence that I never had before. I am learning how to eat out and I am not feeling "deprived" anymore. Keep up the great work!

I feel like I am having BIG regrets after surgery too!! I can't stop thinking about what an extreme measure I took and did I need to take it this far!? Let me just say, I am not even a week out. I had it on Monday and this is Friday night, but I am just anxious to get through these liquid stages and mushies and feeling normal eating real food. I know I will get over this. I am just freaking out a teeny tiny bit! No going back now, so time to work the sleeve!
