Thought we could all convene here after our Feb sx so we could stay in touch....

Had my surgery yesterday' date='came home today and it hurts to drink anything. I even tried luke warm water and warm broth. It still hurts like a bubble of air is keeping anything from going down. Im so scared about dehydration, help..[/quote']

Are you measuring out 2 oz and sipping?

Things went really well. The worst part for me was the IV. I almost passed out. Once they got the right vein I was fine.

It's been 4 days and I'm doing good. I had to have a hiatal hernia repaired and that seems to be a source of most of my pain. But overall I'm doing really well. Happier when I get to see the scale move.

These gas pains in my chest are excruciating! It's making nauseous. I tried to get a hold of my doctor but he is closed on Friday? I really don't want to take any meds without his consent but I'm dying over here! And I've been walking a lot and it doesn't help (

Hey there....have u tried Gas-x strips? You can take up to 8 a day and they do help!

I remember that feeling. And yes they are. I would drink water and as the water was going down the gas came up. I think by Day 5 everything starts getting better. And each day is an improvement.

I am so glad I found this topic. I had my sleeve on the 28th, passed my leak test Friday morning and have been given the ok for 3 full days of clear liquids. Every time I drink anything so far it's only been water and apple juice I feel like I am swallowing nothing but air. I can feel it bubbling in me . Glad to see that this should pass in 5 days or so.

That does not sound appetizing at all! How did you pureet the eggs??? That sounds gross

i throw one hard boiled egg in the cuisinart with one tsp greek yogurt, 1/2 tsp mayo 1/2 tsp mustard, onion powder, salt and pepper. its like eating a deviled egg. my fav thing since starting purees.

hey so Im 6 days post op and very confused. while i was in the hospital after my surgery i had no problems getting out of bed or coughing or doing anything really. I never had to ask for pain meds or anything. I had gas pains but that was about it... day 3 I left the hospital and ended up having uh sex that night, again no problem/pain what so ever and its like now the only way i know i had surgery is that it Takes me FOREVER to eat (drink) anything like tryig to drink a protein shake is a 2 hour event, and sometimes i have a really bad pain in my stomach which ive come to realize means that im hungry. I dont get it.. i mean Im very greatful ive had way less pain than most.. but im also afraid all of it is gonna catch up to me somehow.. Is any of this normal? I havent taken any pain meds since i was released.. im just waiting for the other shoe to drop.. i guess

I was sleeved on 2-19 and I have a lump in my one incision and its painful anyone know what it could be

That sounds so yummy!!! I made pot roast in the crock pot yesterday and puréed 2 ounces of meat with a potatoe and some peas with a couple of tbsp of Greek yogurt. Looked awful but omg did it taste good. I could only get in about an ounce but it was delish!!!

May I go off topic for a moment? I was sleeved 2-5-13. I was on full liquids when I got home, then 1 week later they had me come in for my 2 week appt. And I was put on soft foods. I've been through the dreaded stall since then! I watch what I eat and how much. Problems are cant get in 64 oz of liquid, n I am craving caffeine folders coffee. Is it bad to have a little bit every now and then? I guess my stall is subsiding cause I noticed the scale move 9lbs in the last 4-5 days. At my 2 week I was 307 today I am 290! I'm gonna be a slow loser I hear because of hypothyroidism. I just want a little coffe! Any advice Please!!!

I took someone elses advise and Ive been using a shot glass and sipping from that. I now know what kind of sips to take, so hopefully it wont hurt once it gets near my stomach.

No I have been trying that sipping thing from the start. Even though I'm not gulping I am taking in too much Water at a time and it don't hurt it just makes me supper full.. I don't know just really depressed about this whole thing!

Ive been using my heationg pad for my shoulders. I dont know if I slept wrong or if its gas. Ill try it n my stomach and see if that helps keep the pain away while I drink. Thank you

I tried the heating pad on my stomach last night after tossing and turnin, and wow its my new best friend. I wish I had one I could plug up in my car and take it with me. Thanks for the suggestion.

I can understand that. I have to keep reminding myself that this is temporary so that I dont start crying. Hang in there. This too shall pass.
