Wow! 3 days post-op is so much better than 2 days post-op!



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done Monday morning, and came home on Tuesday. I was feeling pretty miserable both days. Yesterday was better, but I was still having some spasm pains in my stomach whenever I'd try to sip fluids. I think I got down 15 oz yesterday total.

But today? AH-MAZING. Seriously. I feel GREAT! I went and spent the morning at my kid's school for last day celebration, and then we went to the park to play (well, they played and I sat on the bench). My Fluid is going down SO much easier - it's only 1pm and I've already had about 20 oz of Water and 5 oz of Protein shake.

At this rate, I'll be running a half marathon by next week. Just kidding - but really I am super optimistic about my future at the moment. :)

That is an encouraging update. I have mine on June 19th. I hope I can recover just as fast and be up and about, feeling like I want to be up and "running" quickly.

Thanks for your post.

I had my surgery June 3 and I was feeling much the same today as your day 2. I went to the doc for my first post-op appointment and explained that I was having trouble with nausea when I eat so he gave me another med to try. Maybe I'll feel amazing tomorrow :)

3 weeks out now and if I hadn't gone through it I wouldn't have known I had major surgery :D

I too had my sleeve on Monday. I went home on Tuesday. Tuesday was the worst day for me. Wednesday was much better and today has been great. I am having a lot of tummy grumbling today.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
