Hey everyone! Just started this thread for the post op octosleevers of 2012. I had my surgery yesterday and all is well. Gas pain is terrible but I've been walking around. Full fluid dinner tonight. Sippin on my oh, cream soup and pudding. They saline locked my IV, catheter is out and I love walking around. Nausea and pain are so far under control. I'm giving myself 3 hours to finish this meal

I was so sleeved 10/8 and loose or rather liquid bms started wed for me too. Im getting in at least 55 oz liquid daily trying for at least 64 but havent made it yet. I am still having liquid bms today...several times a day. Like just about every time i go pee. I hope it will get better when we progress to puree. My bariatric coordinator told me to expect this during preop teaching. Liquid in=liquid out lol

My bms are still liquid too and i was sleeved 8 oct 10. Glad to hear im not alone.

Are you takkng very small sips?

I'm taking very small sips just like my dr told me to do, I just can't seem to drink much! But I'm thirsty!

I was sleeved Oct 8th and I am now able to sleep on my tummy!!

Im two weeks out and i was watching tv. I picked up a lime and ate it without thinking. For a moment i forgot i was not supposed to eat any solids. I know what you might be thinking. My husband was eating at the coffee table next to me and he had some lemons. How bad is it to eat a lemin only two weeks out. I can hear my stomach rumble but nothing else.

I am going thru it with hunger.... I just want to eat some real food...even if it is tuna salad.... I have a hubby and two young kids to cook dinner for and its so had not to try a lil piece of what they are eating....its so frustrating I want to scream...I thought my hunger hormone was gone? They ordered pizza hut last night and I decided to go nap so I would watch them eat but I smelled it and had a lil dream about a slice of pep pizza ...I have 5 more days of full liquids then I can go to soft foods...I just don't wanna look at another protein shake again....sorry I'm just being real...I had to vent!!!

What are you drinking Tiffani? Have you tried broth or something with electrolytes like gatorade? Water tends to be so hard for me to drink for some reason but I've been forcing myself to drink it.

Ok maybe tmi but I was sleeved on the 9th and yet to have a bowel movement should I take something?

I'm drinking water, broth, v8 fruit juice,protein juice, apple juice. I just can't seem to drink much!

Had my surgery October 2 and Im feeling great! My tummy feels awesome and I'm on soft food now ( doctor said it was ok) everything is going down really well. Honestly chew chew chew is the best advice I can give and wait 3 to 5 minutes between chews. It works for me. I lost 30 pounds so far! I'm very happy I did this and I hope that my recovery keeps going as well as it has;)

Question; what is everyone drinking? The doctors say nothing with more then 10g sugar but the apple juice they told me to drink has 24g sugar per serving..... I'm very confused! Someone please help.

I just noticed that you're only a couple of days post op. It will get easier over time. I was struggling to get in fluids also but now it's gotten easier. Just give it time

Yea day 5.. My husband keeps making me try and drink cuz I feel weak, dizzy and some nausea and I feel like I've been kicked by a damn horse again!!!

I'm only drinking water but right after surgery I was drinking gatorade because I needed to electrolytes to keep my milk supply up

I have the perfect juice, states great and only has 15 called 2g of sugar for a 8oz glass

Maybe try some regular gatorade, your electrolytes might be out of balance. I had the same symptoms but I'm breastfeeding and I needed something with calories. Hopefully you will feel better soon. Also what are you eating? Protein shakes?
