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

.

Dehydration can cause those symptoms so be careful!

My stomach feel on fire. In ny is like 40 degrees n i gotta open the window, i have an ice bag by my side n my hair is getting me annoyed because it makes my head hot. I dont have a fever but these hot flashes damn

This is the ugly they forget to talk about!

Hi everyone,

I'm an April sleever but worried about doing stairs when I get home. We have a lot of them so I thought I'd ask, are you guys able to get up and down stairs ok? Stairs were TOUGH after my c section. I know this is totally different though. I wish you all the best, quick healing, excellent results and minimum pain!!

I had no problems with the stairs ( am 4 days post op) just took them slowly the first day, but it didn't hurt any extra or anything like that. After that the only issues i had were going up and down while on the pain medication. that made me a little dizzy, so hubby made sure he was there with me when i needed to use them.

I agree its not even close. Its more like my gallbladder surgery.

I have only had the two c sections. Just found out i can tolerate jello now!

And I bet you're right, about dehydration. I've had like 12 oz of water since I got home from the hospital and maybe one premier protein. I need to step it up!

Taking tiny sips is making it difficult to get all the protein and clear liquids down. I am walking 3-4 times a day, 15-20 min walks with my little dog who insists. I am tired of liquids. Period. All my focas is on drinking enough. I am very tired. 10 days and I've lost 23 lbs. I know its my head but I want some real food.

I'm jealous of you Hattie!! I can barely do three laps around the house at times. What inspiring weight loss! Keep on truckin girl, we need your inspirational updates!

Hello everyone. I was sleeved on the 4th and was feeling really good this morning but I think I overdid it today and am really exhausted. Went to Costco today and got their ready to drink premier protein drinks in chocolate and I love them. Way better than the chocolate muscle milk whey powder I had to mix. I've been good on getting my protein in but not so good on water, I definitely need to step that up. I weighed myself today and I am down 11 lbs from surgery date...amazing! It kind of makes being totally miserable with these clear liquids worth it. Best of luck to you all.

I was sleeved on the 4th. I'm having very little pain but the acid reflux is on level 10. My incisions are starting to itch. Im getting my water in but not much else and I can really tell this is causing me to be very weak. I cant stand the protein power, pudding, or jello. I pray I can get past this stage very soon!

try protein so you heal. I hate it too.

Make yourself walk so you don't get blood clots! You can do it! and thank-you for your encouragement. I needed it. :-)

Yay! My c section was emergency after getting to 10 and pushing with no progress. I was A MESS afterward with a 2 yo at home. I'm hoping thisis a LOT smoother even though now I have 2 kids at home. I will have help for 2 weeks. Thanks so much for your responses. I'm glad to hear from recent post ops I'm trying to get as ready as possible with knowledge on what to expect.

I had mine on March 6th. I got rid of most of the gas/air pains before I left the hospital by walking a lot. But I do feel the pain more now, mostly on my left side. I think it is because I was more medicated in the hospital. Now that I am out I only use the liquid Hydrocodone before bed,and extra strength Tylenol during the day so I am guessing this is why I am feeling the pain more But I am sure things will be better in a few days. But walking does help alleviate the gas.

Oh my god! Does anyone else feel this? My heart starts to race and i cant catch my breath' date=' and then i start to feel dizzy like im about to pass out.[/quote']

Yessssssss last night I was laying watching a movie very calm i must add and the next thing I new my heart was pounding out my chest hard and fast Like I just ran a 5k race or something. I'm not sure what that's about but I'm calling my doctor first thing Monday morning
