I was sleeved on June 14th and yes, I had diarrhea. The nurse told me that almost everyone does. You'll be feeling better in no time. By my 11th day I was flying to Charleston, SC for vacation. I still can't eat all my Protein, but I feel much better. Each day really does get better.

Oh has anyone experienced diarrhea?? Sleeved two days ago and I'm experiencing diarrhea...

Thanks to everyone for the words of encouragement!! I was pissed off at the forums myself because no one said how bad the first week would be...Omg this is crazy!! I didn't know that I would have a drain..well I got it taken out today but still it was awful!! Then having to drink the blue Water & the contrast was the yuckiest thing I've ever tasted...taste like liquid metal!! Yuckkkkkkk!!!!

I'm with you! I read post after post saying how people were going shopping right after surgery and nothing about any complications. Never heard a word about pain either and OMG I literally woke up screaming with pain. I had a terrible time drinking. I had pain with every sip. I didn't feel normal until day 14. If I would have heard about pain, complications etc I know it would have prepared me better. My message now is that the journey is different for everyone BUT this could happen to you. I think it's better to expect the worse.

With that said, Would I do it again??? HECK YA! I'm lovin my sleeve!!!!

I'm 3 days post-op and I was also surprised at how much more pain there was than I expected. On the one hand, DUH, it's major surgery. But on the other hand, you read so may posts from people who didn't need pain meds once they got home, that I began to think, maybe it's not so bad because it's laparoscopic. Nope, there's some SERIOUS pain, and my body is pretty unhappy with me.

I'm grateful that I"m not having trouble with nausea though, and I"m able to keep all the liquids down. I'm definitely not ready to come off pain meds yet - tonight I went 5 hours between doses, and that was probably a bit too long a stretch.

I have my first postpop appointment Tuesday, so I guess I've got the contrast die thing to look forward to. I'm looking forward to the staples coming out.

I shared the room with Diva Dee and we were both a little shocked about the pain. I was a day behind her so was encouraged when she felt better.

Hey Dee!

I'm getting on a plane on 4 hour and hope the diarrhea is about over!! Yikes!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
