Agreed

First 48 hours seemed like hell. Couldn't get comfy to sleep very well etc. Should be discharged this morning after the barium swallow.

Agreed

Agreed. First twenty four were very rough. Just got home. Feeling pretty good. Just tired. Drinking some tea and trying to stay hydrated. Tomorrow will be a better day.

I was sleeved March 10th. Two questions:

If I drink ice Water I get a pain in my stomach. But if I drink normal temp not so bad.

And how long does gas pain last. I was fine last week now last couple days shoulder hurts.

Good luck to everyone!

My shoulder hurt too a few days later. Trapped gas I guess.

Had my sleeve yesterday and still in the hospital because I haven't voided. Take note, drink plenty of water the day before surgery or you be sitting here like me. I'm feeling so much better and totally ready to go. Now, if could just pee!

. I had the same issue! My bladder did eventually wake up! Good luck on your journey

Sleeved Monday. No trouble peeing but haven't pooped! How long before the first poop on the liquid diet? Should I be worried about

Constipation at this point??

I went on day 4 but it was just a tiny bit. I had been taking Miralax daily since before surgery and started again the day after I got home from hospital. Added Smooth Move tea and took a dose of Milk of Mag and went a ton on post op day 5. Felt much better. Milk of Mag is pretty potent. Taste nasty though.

CrazeyJaney - since we are same day sleevers I have a few questions.

Are you getting any gurgling noises / feelings that continue on for a few min at a time? What is that????

Yes. Gurgles all the time but mostly with liquids. Are you onto puréed yet? I tried refried beans tonight and felt bad. Mixed unflavored protein powder in sugar free jello - lemon flavor from a box - it was actually good. I'm so tired of liquids. Can't wait to chew!!! Argh!!!!!!

I think I was a week after you actually. I'm day 5 post. Liquids until 4/1.

1 sugar free dark Choc pudding got everything moving for me.

I'm 10 days post op so doing puréed (yogurt, pudding, puréed soup). I don't want to whine but I'm so damn sick of liquids!
