I was sleeved 12/18/13. Not sure if I made the best decision. I am in a lot of pain. Can barely drink water. I can't talk to my family because I don't want them saying I told you not to do it. I had a few sips of chicken broth today. Jello sf is too sweet. I need help

All good advice take it slow and if Water is hard to get down perhaps some hot tea with honey will make you feel better. Perhaps your back pain is the gas from from the anethesia you had for your surgery. Don't worry about small steps with some people it is slower than others. You will get better and your aches and pain will subside and you will eventurally feel fantastic. Don't worry take it one day at a time and as soon as you can, start going to support group. You will be much better off by doing that also.

Good luck and keep us all apprized of your progress, we all care about you.

I was sleeved on 12/17 n still in pain n swollen. My upper back is killing me too due to not getting in a comfortable position to sleep. Walking has helped me n doing ok on the broth n drinking my Water with Crystal light n some Jello. Still having rumblings n cramps on stomach, Has using a heating pad on stomach helped anyone?

I was sleeved the same day! The heating pad has saved my life!

Sip sip sip and walk walk walk. Use your incentive spirometer!

I hope you feel better soon.
