Hey everyone I was sleeved on Monday at 8 am...I'm still in the hospital due to the amount of pain I'm having...and the strokes hurt really bad...it does feel like everyone else said, like period cramps and a thousand sit ups that I wasn't ready for...I am so glad I had this forum so I knew about the cough pillow and gas x strips...they have saved me...the only thing in concerned with is I am weighing in at 10 l s more than I was when I got here

I weighed 9 pounds more when I came out of surgery than I did when I went into surgery. I think it's due to all the liquids they give you via IV. Sorry you are having so much pain and I hope for a speedy recovery for you. I am 6 days post op and feeling ok. Good luck and God bless.

Congrats on joining the club! Although I wasn't one of them, I hear a lot of people gain weight the first few days. Don't worry, you will be losing in no time at all! Sorry you are in so much pain. It will subside here real soon. Take care and keep us informed! And again, CONGRATS!!

I gained 6 lbs - lost it quickly - IV fluids - Congrats and good luck!

I am sorry you are having so much pain, I promise, it will get better soon. Get up and walk as much as you can, it helps sooo much. Best of luck on your recovery.

Thanks everyone! I gained 10 lbs it was horrible I can't wait for the pain to be better...I have been up for walks a couple times in the last 2days but I seem to get to a 9 or 10 after I get done with a walk sorry if I make no sense or spell wrong the just gave me some meds

I'm glad your doing ok. I gained two lbs being in hospital, but I lost 3 this morning, I am not getting in all my protien. Nothing taste good, the nectar makes me gag. I have a question? Is it ok to have the juice from pinto beans. They smell so good and I'm starving

Thanks everyone! I gained 10 lbs it was horrible I can't wait for the pain to be better...I have been up for walks a couple times in the last 2days but I seem to get to a 9 or 10 after I get done with a walk sorry if I make no sense or spell wrong the just gave me some meds

Hey try hitting the pain pump as much as you can before the walk, wait a few minutes and then walk it out.

Congrats!!! It gets better each day... Trust me!!! Just walk as much as you can.. and practice getting out of bed alone, if you're not already doing that... It definitely helped me prepare for moving around at home...Blessings and a speedy recovery...
