    Sleeved 8/2 home 8/5 and I am doing well. On full liquids. Still trying to get my water and protein down. It has not been so easy. Pain is minimal and I am walking good. I can not wait to be a skinny

Good for you, did they give you anything to take for your nausea? I took stuff religiously even if I didn't feel nauseous.

I came home tues and today I feel really good, but my energy levels are not great, I am going to walk outside for fresh air today, hope you are well

I can home yesterday, bad gas pains, not nauseas at all, but can only drink fluids pudding, makes me gag. More pain than I expected, glad everyone is doing well.

I suggest a heating pad on warm to assist with gas pain as well as the old standby walking. I was sleeved Monday, came home Tuesday and went for short walks twice yesterday. I'm a bit more tired today than yesterday but figure that is normal surgery recovery - 3 steps forward; 1 step back. ;D

I was sleeved Tuesday and came home yesterday. Battled nausea quite a bit, and still do on and off. "Real" food sounds and smells so good to me, and broth makes me want to gag. I can really only tolerate decaf tea with a little honey, and plain ice water. Anyone else feeling like this?

I'm having a really tough time getting my protein and fluids in and feel so weak...I just don't feel like eating anything or sipping anything anyone else have this? I'm sipping water but having bowel movements alot and feel like it's comming right out of me

Came home on Tuesday. Doctor requires clear liquid through today, than I move on to full liquid tomorrow. I've been focusing on getting fluids in. Doctor counts jello as clear liquid, so that has giving me something of substance. Can't stomach chicken broth, even homemade. Not too much pain; very surprised to be walking around so much considering 80% of my stomach is gone. I'm feeling very weak today, especially since I've been fairly active. Looking forward to starting protein shakes tomorrow so I can get some calories in the system. Thus far, would not change a thing.

I came home yesterday. I am a little sore but the gas it what is killing me. I am not hungry and getting liquids down is a task.

not much pain anymore having trouble eating anything but water ut it will get easier

I had my VSG on Wednesday the 7th, came home Thurs. Feeling very sore, but able to walk around (no pain meds for this chick!). I am on an all clear liquid diet until Aug 15 (hopefully no longer than that!) when I see the doctor. No problems keeping anything down; no nausea etc.. The problem I am having is that I'm feeling hungry for something a little more substantial for some reason. Any suggestions out there?

I was sleeved 8/6 and I am still in the hospital. Liquids are not passing through as they should. Doc thinks its due to a lot of swelling from the medical equipment used in the throat area. I am very concerned and afraid. I feel terrible. Any advice?

My first night home, my husband had bacon hot dogs with mac & cheese and even tho my stomach didn't want it, my mouth sure as heck did! I salivated like Pavlov's dog. :D

Lukewarm water and G2 go down easiest for me. The protein shakes I have "froth" when I mix them and I DO NOT need any extra air in my tummy! I'm not doing pain meds and I'm sore. Haven't had a BM since the morning of surgery. Wondering when I should break out the MOM.

. So sorry you feel badly. The swelling will eventually go down and in the hospital you will get IV fluids to stay hydrated. Hang in there!

Scott ate in front of me last night, and I had no problems wanting his cheeseburger n fries! I am not craving anything, but my stomach growls even though I am getting plenty of Protein based fluids, it sucks!
