are u on pain meds? if not ask for some. i had some trouble at the beginning with swallowing due to tube used in thrat during surgery. swelling will subside and it will get easier...take care.

Hang In there. If you are in pain definitely ask for pain medicine. This first night was the worst for me. The nurses gave me pain meds through the first night & it was well controlled. I slept well but it was painful to get up. Everyday will be a little better. By the time I left the hospital, 3 days post-op i was only taking Toradol at bedtime. Just remember to keep sipping & walk:)

I didn't have anything to drink he whole first day, and assuming you still have your IV it's not necessary, so just take it easy. Maybe your throat is raw. Take some pain meds and try to get up and walk a bit. I hope you feel better soon.

I'm actually going on my 3rd day at the hospital. I'm really nervous and in pain. Not even water wants to stay down. Everybody else went home. I was so excited to get this done now Im just scared

How long did it take you to start swallowing normally?

Walk, Walk, Walk! I wasn't given any Water to drink until 36 hours post surgery - ice chips only! Ask for those pain meds. My first day and night were tough, pain and nausea. The gas pain in my chest and collarbone area was worse than anything else - until I started walking every two hours 24 hours per day!!

Good luck!

I had pain off and on for the first five days, but then it tapered off nicely. Abs still ache some but just because I am not being a couch potato any more, but actually doing some exercise! If I, a pain weenie, can do it, anyone can! Keep us posted on how youre doing.

it was day 3 or 4. try room temp Water... the icy cold made it kimd of painful at first. and i agree that walkimg is like some magical cure for us... it helps your body "normalize" in many ways after the anesthesia and gases used in surgery. best of luck... ill keep you iny prayers

It gets better!!!

Dont be scared! I had to stay longer then i was suppose to in the hospital. I couldnt drink either. But what helped me was the nurse gave me crystal light to drink and i would put a little ice to make it cool. Warm water or any temp water made me sick! But crystal light went down nicely. G2 helped too. I was very scared at first but i promise you, every day gets better! It really does!

Got my sleeve the same day, after revision from a lapband that made me vomit daily for 4 years. So, I feel your pain. Is it going to get better. I can't drink hot or cold. G2 is staying down a little. But what makes it better??
