So far so good the pain is still there now what I'm dealing with is that I'm so tired and have bad traped gas pains :( all I just want to do is sleep but I do get up and walk and drink and take pain meds my question is how is everyone's first few days going?

I was sleeved the 21st. Every day is better, but I think the real turning point was the 6th day out. I just woke up feeling much better. I've really focused on drinking 64 oz daily and i think thats made a huge difference in how i feel. Getting dehydrated causes nausea and a bunch of other issues.

Yesterday I was allowed full liquids so I've been concentrating on getting 60 grams of Protein so my energy level can come back. I'm a bit worried because I haven't lost any wieght since I was sleeved. But I lost 30 pounds in 3 months pre-op, so I'm pretty sure my body is just trying to figure out what happened.

Take things slowly, don't push and overdo things. Right now staying hydrated and healing are your two most important jobs.

I was sleeved on the 23rd and had the worst gas pains... They will get better around Day 5. I couldn't sleep at the hospital for two days but when I got home I slept in a recliner for a few days... Take your pain meds for the gas and walk, walk, walk....

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
