Problems!

[dand_75 21]

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!

Also I can feel what I'm assuming are gas bubbles hitting my new stomach and they hurt bad too!!!

try something warm to see if that helps.

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!

Omg I have no idea how this got in my message! Sorry, disregard! Lol!

My Powerade has been room temp but I think I'll try some broth and see how that goes. Thanks for the advice. I sure hope this gets better.

Use a heating pad on your stomach! And move a lot!

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 do hope the happiness with my decision does come. I have wonderful support from my wife and family.

It will! I remember thinking for the first week or two "what the hell did you do this time Laura"

Because lord knows I did some crazy stuff to lose the weight before! But at four months things are good, its the best crazy thing I've done

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!
