I just had my surgery on Thursday, June 28 and went home Saturday. Days 1 and 2 were hard. This gas is no fun. Having a hard time getting in 64 ounces of water. I used to drink 80 easily prior to surgery. I am still sore but haven't need pain meds since Day 2. Very bloated.

Welcome to the loser's bench! Congrats on getting your surgery. You will be feeling better really soon. Laparoscopic surgery has a fast recovery. I have had 4 of them. Best wishes on your progress and visit often :0)

msvickie, first congratulations on sleeve. i get surgery on 24th of July. very nervous, from what i have been reading everyday gets easier.. do everything your dr tell you i pray you full re overy and great success on this journey.

Yes, it does get easier each day. Are you walking as often as possible? Are you getting as much water in as possible. Water use to hurt my stomach so I switched to low calorie gatorade diluted with water and for some reason, my stomach was more receptive and I was able to get more water in! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! You are doing this and BTW, Welcome to the BIG LOSER'S BENCH! Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Congrats on your surgery and your recovery! Drinking water is hard on everyone in the beginning because youre still so swollen inside. It will definitely get better. Welcome to the boards

And just remember if your drinking protein shakes those have water & count towards your 64oz of fluid. I drink a couple of 20oz isopure zeros which is 40oz right there. So then I need to get 24oz more for the day. Anything over that is bonus.

Congratulations on being sleeved!

Sounds like you are recovering nicely
