You will do great! I'm two weeks post op and sometimes forget I even had surgery I feel so good! Keep us posted when you can!

SO NATURAL TO FEEL THIS WAY! MANY BLESSINGS TO U. KEEP US POSTED

I am having my band to sleeve revision on Monday! Positive thoughts and well wishes of quick healing to you!!!!! :D

Had my surgery June 3...drove myself to my first post-op appointment today. I'm still sore at the incision sites (especially where the surgeon took out my stomach). Otherwise, doing well. Just need to work harder on getting my fluids and Protein in. I'm doing well on exercise and Vitamins though.

You'll do fine, but expect to be sore for a while.

This is a common feeling. You will do great, sending you positive thoughts for a speedy and painless recovery! :) Keep us posted! Good luck

I woke up nauseated. I had nothing to throw up so it hurt. I feel like crap but noticed I am really tired and just want to sleep! I am trying to sip my water but the gas is unbelievable!

Wow I can only imagine the gas pain, they are no joke without surgery.. I heard walking and a heating pad helps with that.. & walking & sippin helps to get the water down easier. Hope u start to feel better soon.

It will get better! U made it to the other side :-)

Thanks DaFierce1! I am trying to walk but I am so damn tired too! I need to figure out how to get my fluids in because I seem to get more gas when I sip.

I'm having problems getting all of my fluid in as well. I was having pain with everything that I tried to drink (protein shakes included). My doc prescribed Raglan (aka Metoclopramide) which helps things move thru the body easier. Also, I stumbled on to another post a few days ago that recommended that people like me use a toddler's sippy cup. It gives the right amount of fluids w/o much air. I can sip on that easily!

Thanks PainInTheGlass! I am going to try the sippy cup. Hopefully that will help!

Love my sippy cups. I just enlarged the holes a tiny bit so I didn't have to suck on it like the toddlers they're designed for. Good luck!
