How are the 18th sleevers taking in fluids And dealing with nausea and gas! I've been having to have my husband burp me. And I'm still stuck laying down. The recliner has become my best friend! Laying down flat makes me feel bad!

You will feel better by this afternoon or tomorrow.. The first 3 days are the worst with the gas pain and nausea..

I was sleeved on the 14th

I hope so! I really didn't expect to feel this bad! How are you feeling since your surgery?

Let me tell you the day after surgery I was thinking why did I do this?? I was regretting it.. But them the next days I was better and better.. Today I am 6 days pos op and I feel good.. Walk everywhere no much gas or no gas at all.. Being able to drink about 35 to 45 oz of fluid and 45gm of protein.. I am doing much better

It will get easier soon. Be patient and keep sipping and walking.

Thanks drrica! That's exactly what I said the day after! I'm like what was I thinking! Thanks for the words of ebcouragement

I was taking gas and heart burn medicine. I am 8 days post op. I agree with the writer up above that I was second guessing myself the second day. I agree - keep walking and just sipping. It will get better. Everyone recovers different. You should start to see improvement soon.

I am 4 days post op and still having pain issues. Im also having gas problems too lol. I was wondering ifyou know if I can take motrin over tylenol?

Did your dr not give you pain Meds! I was given liquid hydro codeine . And also dissolving nausea Meds...

definitely do not take motrin products. they will irritate the heck out of your sleeve. just tylenol or whatever you doc prescribed. i have been thinking "what have i done" since i woke up from surgery. all i can think about is what i'll never be able to eat again. i have a lot of rumbling in my belly and not a whole lot is agreeing with my sleeve. having trouble getting in all my fluid and protein. i'm getting in about 40 grams protein. i am so sick of protein shakes already. on the positive side i've lost 9lbs already. i'm sure it's just water weight but it's 9 lbs of something i didnt need!

Have you had a BM yet? I have not !

my dr gave me loretab for pain. I havent had a bm yet, but lots of gas and bloating.

Well it's great to know I am not alone . I came home from the hospital and felt great. The next day was a sharp downturn. I felt horrible. It has been getting better each day since then (i am 5 days post op). I still have periods during the day that aren't great and others where I feel pretty good. I am doing pretty well with getting protein and fluids in. I don't like the Isopure but able to get it in and keep it down. I also get pain in my chest from time to time and find if I stand and move around it helps. Not much gas from the bottom but I can now belch like the best of them . Looking forward to getting some additional variety in my diet in a few days. The broth, Isopure, and water thing is getting old. I have been afraid to try jello. Has anyone tried and had any issues? I didn't drink enough when I took one of my pills and it got stuck and spooked me a bit.

No issues with jello - it really helped. I hit week 2 a few days ago so I get creamed soups! Is it sad to be excited for creamed soups?!!!!

What kind of cream soup I am on week 2.. Where can I find them???
