I got sleeved on the 5th and it wasnt that painful the first few days. after i came home i started to feel the pain, specially the gas pains. Swallowing is a totally new experience. If i take a sip thats to big the pain i get in my chest from pain is so bad.

I cant wait for it to get better. Its not that i regret it, oh no, it just that its like learning to eat all over again. I have started to write down none scale victories. I want to exercise again, i want to play sports again, and most of all play with my kids without feeling tired

.

How much did you take and how long did it take? Thinking I need to take more. I took 1 tablespoon 2 hours ago

I took the same amount. They told me to sip on it every two hours ;(

I haven't had a BM since i was sleeved on Monday...can someone help? Can someone help...no milk of magnesia .....ewwee

HI - My Dr.s office had me purchase Colace to have on hand just in case. It is a pill so not gross. I only had to take 1 pill and 6 hrs later - woohoo never thought I would say that...........Take care

Im i the only one with the lower right side near the belly button pain. When i do a lil to much the pain becomes pulsing. And why is this pain there is not even near an incision. If u do wat makes it better?

OMG! I literally have the same thing. They had to cut a little more than expected so mine is kind of near an incision but I have the exact same problem!!! I was getting nervous! But to know someone else has same pain I guess it's common?? I take my Vicodin lol

Mine has nothing to do with incision tho-- I can just tell

I have that too!

Im about to take a pain killer, i mean its not like super bad but its uncomfortable.

This makes me more relax knowing its common

Congrats to all of you on your new sleeves! I was sleeved on Monday the 4th in Dallas. I'm feeling pretty good. My incisions are still sore. It's hard to get up from a chair. I've been doing a lot of walking around the house and even walked around the block yesterday. I'm trying so hard to get in the Protein and Water. I was told 60 oz of liquids and 60 grams of protein. I was able to get 40 oz of liquids yesterday so I'm trying to beat that today. I've really only had regular water' date=' propel water, Popsicles, unjury chicken broth, and cream of chicken strained with a scoop of unflavored unjury Protein powder. I haven't really ventured out to anything else. How about you guys?[/quote']

I was sleeved back in feb in dallas area too. How are you feeling

I was sleeved at South Nassau - Long Island by Dr Nishimaru on Monday the 11th.... I had moderate pain after surgery but still got my butt up every hour or so and did my laps around the floor.

My incisions are giving me pain still 6 days later but soreness is getting easier to handle. Staples come out Thursday and I am still on a liquid diet of water, optifast (or equivalent shake) broth jello etc. I get pain after a few sips of anything so I am not reaching my 60 oz of water a day yet.

I am the burping and farting a lot and have even gone #2 a few times.

Annoyed that I cant wear a bra because one of my incisions is right on the bra line and I am VERY busty so I dot feel like leaving my house without one on.

Two new issues: my hands are FREEEEEZING!!!! I'm usually hot and now I'm COLD! Wasn't expecting that! And (maybe TMI) watery diarrhea....ugh!!!

But otherwise doing great!

Sleeved 3/13 & ive been freezing & having diarrhea too! I can't figure out why yet... can we get the runs if we eat too fast? Process of elimination I suppose. makes me not even want to eat at all because I end up in the bathroom all day! Grrrrrrrr

Does anyone remember what lab work their surgeon did pre-op? My pre-op appt is tomorrow (surgery 3/26) and I'm worried my labs could be too out of whack for surgery!! So I'm trying to figure out what they will actually be testing for so I can reassure myself that there's no reason to be worried. TIA!

The freezing had gotten better and so far no more watery stools. I have found that if I eat too fast I get a feeling that feels like I'm about to have bathroom issues! Crampy and gassy!

That could be it! Thanks Lakimmie! I'll be sure to eat super slow today & see how it goes. Good luck!

I'm a week and four days out of surgery and my incision sites are extremely itchy and I get so scared to sneeze because its so painful and I feel like my stomach is going to burst.
