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!

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.

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!

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? !!!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
