I made it through my first week. I did not experience pain from my incisions or from my new sleeve, but the AIR, GAS...whatever you may call it has been mortifying. I still have some of it left, so I walk, walk, walk, dance, move around and repeat these steps over and over again. Also, I have been having an issue with making sure I have enough fluids, I love Sonic ice so I always get a Route 44 cup and eat that during the day and sip the Water as it melts. I am determined to find what works for me and make this change.

Congratulations on the start of your new sleeved life. Sounds like you are off to a great start!

Yes you are so correct, you can and will!

Congratulations! Hang in there! I am hopefully having my surgery in April, so you are paving the way. God bless you.

I am two weeks out and it does get better, I still have some issues from the gas but my biggest issue is acid reflux. The first week I struggled to get enough fluids in now I am reaching the targets easily and dont have to take tiny sips any longer.
I have found the broth from chicken noodly soup is the easiest thing to eat and tastes lovely.

I'm 4 days post op. Finding stuff to eat of drink is so much harder than I thought it would be. It takes me 90 min to sip a protein shake! But I think I'm doing ok in general. Ready to move onto real food someday!

I'm 5 days post op and still feeling a bit sore but have cut back on pain meds so maybe I'm just noticing it more because of that. Getting in enough fluids is hard.

Have you started driving? Are you using pain meds? Do you have any weak spells? Thanks in advance! And yes, God's strength is amazing!

Great job so far!
