Hey everyone! I was sleeved Tuesday and came home yesterday. I wasn't prepared for the aftermath of surgery that's for sure! I feel much better than Wednesday but still very sore and having difficulty drinking enough. When did you feel at least pretty good? I can't wait!

Lol I meant sugar free Popsicle

I hope you guys feel better soon! I had surgery about 2 and half weeks ok I am feeling pretty good, but still kind of tired in the afternoo and evenings.

What are you eating 2 weeks out?

:unsure:Hey all ! I was just sleeved on Wed 8/10/11. I had the lap band removed and the sleeve done at the same time. Surgery wasn't the greatest. although the doc say's i did a great job.. i had ALOT of nausea. If i was awake i had nausea.eww My blood Pressure shot up high high.. and heart rate lowlow.. but all is stable and i'm home ! i'm trying to back off of pain pills because they do tend to make me sick to my stomach although knock on wood i have not vomited. I did come home with a drain which Doc said he will be removing on thursday when i have my one week follow up...I'm having a really hard time getting liquids in. What i've been doing because i figured i need some kind of protein is drinking the carnation sugar free instant breakfast. It's taking me almost an enitre day to get in 8 -16oz but i'm taking a sip here and sip there. It feels like 2 sips is all i can take before i feel so full i can't stomach it ! i'm constantly napping.. Please tell me this will get better soon !

After a week or two I felt decent except for acid. You can look forward to feeling unbelievably fantastic soon!

You poor thing I guess I should stop complaining now, since you have gone through all that. I'm praying for us all that we do well and have a speedy recovery

I was sleeved last Monday too and I was still feeling blah and layed around all day today in my pjs sleeping some of the time. My husband told me not to go to work tomorrow. It was supposed to be my first day back, but I just don't feel like I can. Maybe Tuesday will be better. I'm looking forward to being back to normal too...

Hello I'm Jamee from Texas and I was sleeved on Tuesday . I don't think this is normal but I'm STARVING. When I try and drink my liquids my tummy grumbles and hurts. Is it horrible that I'm looking forward to eating soft solids?

Jamee, Is it stomach hunger? What were your first couple of days like?

Is anyone taking vitamins? My doctor suggested I go to bariatricadvantage.com where they have assembled nutrition kits to his specifications for first 30 days of post-op. I noticed the same brand in my local independent pharmacy. Has anyone tried these drinks?

DallasMom, you definitely need to be taking vitamins. There's another thread in this forum that talks about what different people take - but basically you'll need a multivitamin (some docs recommend more than 1 a day) and calcium supplement daily, and B12 once weekly. My doc also wants me to take B1 once weekly. If your multivitamin doesn't have iron then I'm to take an iron supplement as well.

I wasn't prepared for the aftermath of surgery that's for sure!

i feel the same way! i so did not expect any of this! it's nice to kno i'm not alone!

I'll be purchasing all of the vitamins next week. Thanks for the input. I'll ask about B1.

How is your recovery going? It looks like you just recently had surgery.

Stop drinking the sodo pop--carbination will

damage your sleeve, Jamee.

I was sleeved on a Thursday and felt great on three days later on Sunday. At a little over two weeks I just had a regular meal. Hang in there everyone is unique.
