OK, I'm 2 days post op and along with the sleeve I had my GB out due to it barely functioning. Anyway, I'm sipping Powerade zero and every time I do I can feel when it hits my new stomach and it HURTS!!!! Its only for a few seconds but damn!!!! I'm just in the "what the hell have I done??" phase I hope. Please tell me others have gone through this too!!! I have no idea how I'm gonna get all my fluids in like this!

I'm sorry you're hurting! I agree with the above post, try drinking something send me a request by email, tnhamil@hotmail.com or at least room temp. Cold Water hurt me for the first few weeks. Now it's fine. You will get thru this phase. Hang in there! And make sure you're walking to get rid of that gas! Congrats on your sleeve! It gets better! :)

You're definately in the what the heck stage. I'm 9 days out and feel a lot better. It may take months before we are truly happy with our decision, but I'm confident it will happen. This is so hard!!

After a week, my painful bubble drinking problem got much better. Walk. Don't lay when drinking. Experiment with other clears. Sf Popsicles! You'll get better EVERYDAY. And if you breakdown about your decision, just know that's normal!!!!!

I am now 17 days post op but I so remember the day of my surgery. I had the most aweful feeling of what have I done. I felt life as I knew it was over. You start to feel as if you will never eat normal food ever again like social events are a thing of your past. I just kept praying and praying for gods help. I so badly wanted to get on here and scream don't do it don't do it. I'm glad to say things are much better. It gets easier day by day. I am now down 30 lbs and that's helps with the adjustment. Just take it day by day.

Hi Dand! At 2 days post-op I literally felt like I was trying to give birth to some alien in my belly. As the swelling as gas become less severe, the sensation you're describing should settle down. That said, you will be aware of how different types of things feel as they go down (which is a good thing). Take care and welcome to the Loser's Bench!

That's exactly how I feel now!! I've researched this like crazy and even hunted people down that I knew had it and picked their brains and it all just seemed the right thing to do. I know it'll get better (I hope!) and I'm looking forward to that time. I'm just ready for the pain and discomfort and weakness/tiredness to be gone!! And to top it off I have diarrhea!! Lol!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
