I had to stay 3 days. Why are you having to stay?

They want me to stay because I threw up the protein shake yesterday along with my crushed meds so they want me to stay on liquids and try the protein tom...of course I would love to sleep in my own bed but I'm soooo afraid of dehydration!

I feel bad first day

I felt great 1st day. Came home and felt horrible now 3rd day is better. Hoping every day improves

Surgery date was the 14th. I am supposed to get down 48 oz of liquids and 40 grams of protein. There is absolutely no way. It's 5pm and I have only managed 10 oz of water and 3 oz of Isopure. I keep getting really sharp pains across my abdomen and up into my chest, last all but a few seconds. Other than that the belly pain is at a 4 inbetween lortab doses. @TStorm yes I have had diarrhea as well. So embarrassed, thought I was only passing gas and had to go change. My 18 yo daughter will never let me live that down.

I'm with you without the diarrhea. I just passed gas today for the first time. Lots of burps though

I'm getting my liquids in but when I drink I was getting nauseous. I have figured it out... its due to having to burp. So I usually burp a lot. The bubbling and rumbling gas is all I have to complain other than normal soreness.

And oh boy... I bet she won't let you forget that! !! I am also on oxycodone (not mixed with tylenol just straight oxy). It makes me really sleepy

I'm sorry you're having issues. I understand tho, that's why I had to stay. I too wanted to come home but didn't want to get myself in trouble and just have to go back later. It will pass and you'll feel better. Keep us posted. I hope you feel better very soon!

Oh my gosh! I too am having issues with diarrhea! Thought I might be the only one. It's about to do me in. I just went to the store to get out of the house, didn't think I was going to make it home. .

I had my sleeve done on January 31st, I am feeling almost normal now. I have lost 26.5 pounds total including the preop diet. I was wanting to start doing some light exercise like walking, but I have been advised not to until I am about 4-5 weeks postop. Has anyone else been told not to exercise?

I feel bad first day

Oh my goodness the first day after surgery I was regretting my decision to have the gastric. Thank God I did I feel a lot better now just a lot of discomfort still
