hey everyone I am 21 years old and I was sleeved on 10/21/2013. I have some pain and some tenderness but I think it's mostly gas (lol). I have a lot of nausea. idk if anyone else experienced this but they found be a good "cocktail" of anti nausea meds. I chew gas-x every few hours. I was told get 4oz of liquid every hour. that's been so hard for me. I have a banding on my tummy to.keep it compressed. (I had severe hiccups after surgery). I am also on obesityhelp.com which I find so helpful so ill try this next

Sleeved 10/21 also. Thankfully didn't experience nausea. Nurses were vigilant about anti nausea meds. Having a hard time getting all water/liquids down in addition to protein drinks. Still happy I did this too!

I was also sleeved on Monday 10/21... I'm having a hard time with this has issue. I've walked and I feel very strong but the has just will not go away. When I eat I can feel it and it hurts for the food to go down. I'm going to try GasX and see if it helps. I also woke up sleeping on my tummy' date=' there was no pain but I'm wondering if it affects me?[/quote']

Hi!!! It will get better. It sucks in the beginning but everyday will get progressively better. Definitely try the Gas X and for me it helps if I sleep sitting straight up as if I'm in a hospital bed. I pile a bunch of folded comforters and pillows behind ma and sit up. I never slept this way in the past but it really helped after the surgery now I'm 2weeks out and I still do it. I hope this helps. Rest up!

Sleeved on 10/22 and are able to sip 2 ounces of liquids every 15 minutes, including protein shakes....is this too much?

You get to eat already? Like food? Or liquids?

Surgery on 10/21. It went very well. Had nausea first 2 days when I got up to go to bathroom. After that it subsided. Can definately tell if I swallow too big a sip. Just have to slow down. My liquids' date=' which I am rotating for variation, are G2, chicken boullion, Jello, popsicles. Seems to be working so far. Just hard to get all the liquid in. I guess that just comes with time and practice. Feeling like I made a great decision in having the surgery. [/quote']

Do you use and Protein? What do you use?

Yes i use protein. Right now I am using the pre op protein shakes, hot chocolate, pudding (thin). I was actually able to get all my protein and liquids in yesterday. I still weigh the same as when I had the surgery, but I know that having surgery and being put to sleep and on iv's will take a little while to get out of my system. But I would still like to have some kind of loss when I go for my 2 week checkup.
