I had my op 3 days ago and I have to say it was very tramatic...the recovery part that is. I am not used to relying on other but im hoping thing will get better soon. I know this will all be worth it but right now all I feel is pain and annoyance that the tastiest thing I can have is broth. Lol

The first month is the hardest! Keep your eye on the prize, and I promise it WILL get easier! Now that I'm 6 weeks out, I feel SO much better, and look back at that first month and remember how very hard it was. But now, it's soo much easier! Hang in there! You got this!!

Thank you so much...i just gotta get through the hard part I guess

Yes, after the first month you'll feel better. After my first month i felt somewhat back to normal. The sleeve takes some getting use to, make sure u follow ur surgeons instructions on what foods u can & can't eat. Good Luck to u!

Oh, I was so there with you! I thought I was going to go insane if I had to have another spoonful of broth. And I also hated having to rely on others, but you'll become a lot more self-reliant very quickly. The recovery is rather quick in most cases and the pain goes away.

Just think about all the new shoes you'll be able to buy! Hang in there! It will be soooo worth it.

My surgery was also 3 days ago and it was more difficult than having 2 C-sections and 1 Gallbladder removal. My surgeon told me that most people do not react the way that I did.....lots of nausea and vomiting. I also had a lot of gas trapped in my abdomen and chest....thought I was having a heart attack. The first night post op was the worst. Good luck to you. Most people do well with the Sleeve, at least that is what people who has had it done say. I agree with you though, this was the hardest thing I've ever done also

Well try not to get to down. I'm 2 weeks post op today. I started pureed food yesterday and everything is going well. You will get past this. Rest and make sure you get your water in.

I have never had surgery or children but I think I will be more prepared. I have also had a lot of painful gas and vomiting. Its getting better everyday though. Thanks for the suppot everyone.

I'm wrapping up day one post ops and I agree with you. I was freaking out last night! I was so out of it I couldn't even keep my eyes open and I swear I thought I would never move again lpl. Today is much better! I keep thinking that the worst is over and it's only getting better. Been doing lots of walking but can hardly eat my clear liquid trays. Have had a fair share of ice chips though! Good luck to you
