Laying here in the hospital feeling fantastic! I was sleeved this morning and have had very minimal pain. This is the beginning of the rest of my life and I am sooooo excited! Now if I could just pee! Lol!

Congrats and welcome to the loser's bench!

Thank you so much I just asked the nurse for dome tea and its going down much better.

Congratulations...wishing you a speedy recovery!!

I got sleeved on Tuesday and having a hard time sipping the Water it's making me nauseous. Please share some tips with me.

I had extreme nausea had to stay in the hospital two extra days because of it. I went home with pills AND a little circle patch I had to put behind my ear. I just want to tell you to hang in there, it finally went away for me after about a week and a half. Be strong.

Congrats!

Congrats! You are a huge inspiration. I will

Keep you in my thoughts for a speedy recovery. I will join you as a sleeve sister in December!

I'm still in the hospital I might leave today yayyy I miss my home. I do have see gas pain it's no joke. I am burping like crazy(sorry tmi) the leak test was good. I am tolerating jello broth water and tea I'm happy about that. I feel so much Better today. You are right it will get better. Thank you for all your encouragement and prayers. Xo

Wtg enjoy your new life i know i do!

Yay, good for you! I had to get a cath, I sat there till I couldn't anymore then had to give up before I burst ;-/

Thanks for all of the kind words! Day 2 has been a little rougher, but still manageable. Started with the barium swallow...Yuck! The long lasting numbing agent that they use at the incision sites wore off this morning and so I was a little sore because of that. My IV infiltrated and there was a student nurse so I got poked a couple of times, but that's fine. They have to learn somehow. I have done about 10 laps around the floor today and have been napping on and off. Other than that, I started my clear liquid diet. It is definitely a weird feeling when liquid hits your stomach! At first it was highly uncomfortable, but now it is just somewhat uncomfortable. I am nervous about the drain removal tomorrow, but after that, I get to go home! I feel like I got the lucky end of the surgery stick! Again, thanks for all of the kind words!

hope you have a speedy recovery

I make peppermint tea. Was told it would easy the nausea and it counts towards fluid intake. It seems to be helping
