How are you all feeling since being sleeved!??

I am home now but wish I was still in the hospital.... Gas pains are the worst. All of sudden, I have a low grade temp of 99. What's funny I don't know when I am full yet. I only intake 1oz of anything at a time so I won't throw up. I am trying to learn this body but it's very sore

I felt like that at first too, I am 5 days out. Yesterday I was allowed to have drinkable yogurt. Got a small one, starts drinking it and was bummed that I could drink so much....then my tiny tummy kicked in and I felt it. I could only drink about 3 oz and I was full until lunch. Had 3 popsicles for lunch and that was 2 too many! Felt sick and had to lay down and wait for feeling to pass. I really thought I was gonna throw up. I didn't eat anything the rest of the night just drank Gatorade. When was ur surgery?

I just had my sleeve 2/17. Even after a year of planning, I dont think I really knew what the post op period was going to be like. I walk and walk and still have gas. Crushing my meds is the most horrible thing ever! (AND for future sleevers...the swallow test is the most vile thing I have ever had in my life! ) The largest incision hurts the most. Gets a little better everyday. I cant wait to eat a piece of cheese! Good luck to you!

I had horrible pains in my shoulders for several days. I used a hearing pad and they finally went away. Eating is hard. You have to get your liquids in first and then eat. I made some tuna last night. The smallest can you can buy. I ate three bites and felt sick the rest of the night. Just takes some adjusting. I didn't have to do the swallow test. Sounds terrible.

No swallow test? Did you have band or sleeve?

Hi! I'm 3 days post op and hope the worst is behind me. I woke up yesterday wondering what have I done??!! . I feel better today but am sore and have trouble moving around. any ideas for "full" liquid diet phase? I'm so sick of jello, Popsicles & broth... I tried pudding and regretted it. One day at a time..right??!!

I agree with you....i think i did so much research about the surgery, about the pre-op diet, etc. and while i did prepare physically for the post-op diet, meaning i stocked my kitchen with pudding, yogurt, shakes, etc, i dont think i prepared enough mentally for it. i had my surgery in Mexico on monday, and im now in San Diego until wednesday...so i have to eat at restaurants. i dont have any Protein shakes, i do have a couple Protein drinks that i bought i can have.... so for today, had some drinkable yogurt for Breakfast, half cup of cream of cauliflower Soup for lunch....but all during lunch when my friend was eating chicken, french fries and a salad, i was DYING to have her food....so much so that i took a fry and sucked on it lol i think its just hard because ive been on a liquid diet for 3 weeks now and i have 2 more weeks on liquids before i can move to pureed food...its killing me! i just want a little bit of avacado...or SOMETHING i feel is of substance! lol

not sure which inscision is the largest, but the one on my right hand side is really hurting me today.

for the swallow test, you mean the barium leak test? if so, that didnt even bother me! i really didnt even taste it! i think my sense of smell or taste changed a little bit or something?

what is your plan frmo your nutritionist? min is full liquids from now until march 5 (days 4-17), then on march 6 i get to add in pureed foods that are applesuace texture.

how are you doign on Water? its 5pm, and ive only gotten in 4 glasses today! trying to get all 8 glasses today! its a challenge!

I'm on the same food schedule. I have trouble getting my water in but now I'm trying SF vitamin water and that goes down easier. I'm not sure if I have to wait to have my choc protein shakes again- it seems like they might not qualify for full liquid phase... arghh.

I can start pureed foods on Monday. Liquid is only 1st week. It's been rough. I have a hard time getting in all my fluids. Everytime I have anything I get a big gas bubble in my chest and I have to wait for it to pass before having anymore. AND as supportive as my husband and children have been, they still have to eat!

Hear you loud and clear when it comes to cravings. I wanted to lick a potato chip yesterday! Lol!

Yes protein shakes are part of full liquid phase!
