Anyone feel that the days following surgery seam just to easy? I had surgery on the 5 th and I'm still waiting for the hammer to drop.. No nausea, no problem drinking . Walking well. I have a very minor feeling of acid in my stomach but that it. Just waiting for the bad days.

I feel the same way, really lucky. I had no problems. The weight is a bit slow coming off though. That's my only complaint.....

Same here - I was sleeved on the 5th of August - feeling no pain, no nausea - a little gassy and some heartburn if I drink too fast. A little tired and easily worn out when by the end of the day. I've been getting two Protein Shakes down a day. The weight has been dropping off - anywhere from 2-3 lbs per day!! It's ridiculous!

Sometimes in preparation for the worst we brace for a storm. When the storm passes by and doesn't whip our butts we are left with the braces.

Leave them up.

Save them for the stalls and lifelong maintenance.

That's awesome! The first 5 days were the worst for me so hopefully you're in the clear!

I was sleeved on April 18th & other than a nearly full body rash a few days after surgery I didn't have any complications, haven't had any bad reactions to foods, nausea, vomiting, etc...knock on wood.

too easy????

i've had many operations - so the WLS itself, didn't concern/scare me

i wasn't too concerned about eating and drinking properly post op

things did go well with all (no sickness, vomitting, gas et al)

my concern from the beginning was always.........

"how the heck am I gonna be successful and not only lose the weight, but keep the weight off forever and a day

For me, once i reached goal 10 months ago - thats when the hard work starts...................

and my new wonderful life continues!!!!!

gotta keep following all those "sleeve rules" (Water, eating, portions et al)for the rest of my life - so i can keep my "girlish" ;) figure!!!!!

don't look for trouble!!!! :ph34r:

glad things are going so well for you :)

      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'. ???

        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!
