My body didn't really get along with either the endone and morphine they gave me or the anaesthesia because I had to have 3 anti nausea shots throughout the afternoon, and at one point I started to throw up and nothing but a lot of continuous burping happened which was so painful. And now I'm too scared to take painkillers incase they make me nauseas again. Hopefully this doesn't last long but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end.

Hey Nay91, you could try and ask your MD if they would give a script for quick dissolve Zofran. It breaks down on the tongue and is a liquid by the time you swallow it. It is a great drug for nausea, one of the best. Oh, btw, I just got home from the hospital and I feel pretty darn good. I have already walked a few blocks twice today and I will go on a 3rd after dinner. Grats on your new life everyone!

Glad it went well for you Carvinplayer. I'm home. Feeling ok. I told my surgeon I felt like I had been kicked by a horse. He said so long as it was only a small horse!

I did have some kind of dissolvable nausea tablet after I forced them to take out the drip haha. I went home on Tuesday (same day as my surgery) and just felt so awful until today thank god! Can't wait till I'm completely pain free and can lay down properly though. Glad you girls didn't have such a bad experience with It. X

I'm feeling so good now Mel, I do get the occasional pain which I think is hunger but I'm finding it ok to ignore, I do really feel like eating though haha. But I'm already 5kg down so it's so worth it! How long until you can move on to purée and mushies mel?

How's everyone doing? I'm on mushies now. Week 3 postop. Weight loss totally stalled. I believe it's a thing, the 3 week stall.

Regular food for me. It seems really easy to eat pretty much everything. I am not getting as much Protein as I would like but so far so good. I've been hitting the gym every other day and spending a minimum of 30 minutes on the elliptical machines and taking walks on the other days. My biggest complaint is I can't burp! I hate it! But if that is the price I must pay then so be it. I hope everyone is doing well.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
