So I got sleeved on Thursday afternoon. Thursday and Friday were the absolute pits. Excruciating gas pain and soreness in the abdomen. I wasn't able to walk much due to pain and lightheadedness. Today I'm feeling much better and I'm able to do my breathing exercises and walking. I can't believe I actually did. Here's to a new future.

Hey

Good luck, I got my surgery Friday morning on the 5th I have alot of gas and it so discomfort. I was able to walk on first day but then it made me wanna puke so I stop and took meds. Today is just upper chest pain which doctor says us gas. I am not taking liquids as much every 2 hour I drink 1 oz.. Hopefully 2moro I go home.

It gets better and better here on out. Glad you are feeling well(ish) angain!

Ditto - sleeved 4/4. Life is sucking at the moment, but I know it gets better!

Got sleeved on 4/2, still a little discomfort and lots of gas.

Same here Nikki ~my sleeve was on 4/2....discomfort and gas!

I has surgery on 4/1... I'm sick of my stomach hurting, am missing food, and over my one ounce cups. I just feel really depressed for some reason. Anyone else?

Kelly my stomach is hurting too, I can't consume my 4 ounce in that hour only like 3. I kinda feel depressed too.

Got sleeved on the 4/3, had a few really rough days, still feel weak and light headed, less pain though and glad to be home.

Gas pain was hell. Struggling to drink enough liquids, but seems to be getting a bit easier.

Had a lot of headaches the last few days which didn't help.

Will get through this!

I'm almost 2 weeks out...it does get better!! Hang in there!

I had me sleeve done on 4/3 and I must say that I'm begining to miss food and the gas pains are also killing me..cannot wait until I feel better and move on from this clear liquid stage. Trying to hang in there..

I am three months out, and everything that everyone on this thread as posted, I have been there. And I am here to tell you, it def gets better with each passing day.. Hang in there, listen to your NUT and DR, follow your program sheet, and you will do fine.. Congrats to you all, and Good Luck, your new journey is beginning..

I am also missing food...but also nothing sounds good to me...I just keep reading these posts, knowing all of this is normal and will get better helps

Well the pain is subsiding now that I can get some gas out. I'm off the strong pain meds bc I found it makes it easier to go to bathroom on Tylenol. I'm walking more and sitting up more. Still have gas pains and I'm struggling to keep the liquids in. No vomiting just hard to swallow and stay awake. I took a shower today and I feel much better. Each day gets easier and I'm praying by the end of the week illness able consume all my fluids.

I got home yesterday and did great with the 4oz in the hospital before getting discharge. Now I am home and is hard to consume 4oz in that one hour. I do about 1oz then 3oz some hours is just so hard. I feel very weak and I started the pure protein shake that all I been tryin to consume the broth makes my stomach hurts and finally got some Popsicles and was able to eat one.

Hi Joan, Popsicles will be your lifesaver. I'm now going on my 7th day post op and still can only consume 1 oz an hour. Chicken broth and bouillon cubes have started to make me gag. I use slim fast as part of my protein because I haven't found one that I like, my support group at work told me about premier shakes, I think I will try those next. Hang in there it will get better.
