Hey everyone! Well, it's official....I was sleeved on Friday march 1st. To be honest, I was not expecting to be in the amount of pain that I am in. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday. The first 36 hours I was needing my pain med, dilaudid, every 2 hours :-( The morphine they tried first wasn't even touching my pain! After the first 36 hours they started me on the liquid lortab. It helps but I'm still in pain. Besides my abdominal pain I have had this horrible back pain. They did some additional blood work to see of I had postop pancreatitis. Thank goodness everything was fine there! Thankfully, I haven't had too much nausea! I'm hanging in there and I know that it will keep getting better day by day!

Congrats. Sounds like gas pain. I used a heating pad and would place it on my back and on my chest and it helped with the pain. You also want to walk around the house. it helps move that gas out of you.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
