1 Day Post Op.....It's a breeze!



Recommended Posts

hello everyone. I am 1 day post op and feeling great. I must admit when I woke up from surgery I initially began to second guess my decision to be sleeved. However, by the end of the night I felt like it was the best decision I have ever made. I passed my swallow test this morning with no issues and the pain meds are helping tremendously. Looking forward to heading home tomorrow morning will keep you updated.

1 day post op and feeling great

Moni_0330

glad everything was/is terrific :)

you have a great journey ahead of you :)

a good thing to do periodically is..........

take before, during and after pictures

keep a record of things going on, how you are doing, problems et al

and take your measurements

this is good for all newbies and others to do :)

do as i say, not as i do :huh:

i never did the above - and i regret it :mellow:

may you feel as good tomorrow - as you do today :)

stay well

take care

good luck :)

I just got sleeved Tuesday. I felt good too being at the hospital but let me tell u after the the iv came out and I came home it's been so hard. Haven't been able to keep a lot down wish I would have stayed an extra day. But even with that being said I still don't regret it! Hope u have a speedy recovery!

We had surgery the same day!! How are you feeling today? I probably got in one Protein shake and an additional 25oz. Not easy. Have to stand up to sip and stay that way for awhile. I hope you try and take your pain meds too, and move! I must admit picking my son up from preschool with my mom kicked my butt since we went to 711 after for his slurpee. The in and out of the car part wore me out. Let me know how your doing! What was your starting stats? Mine is 244# and I'm 5'5

I am 9 days post op today, and definitely feel this was the best decision of my life. My second day I was thinking what the heck did I do to myself. It gets better and easier with every day. Keep moving and keep sipping slowly. I have to make sure that I am sitting up straight to get everything in. Sipping slowly is my downfall. Every day is a learning experience. So glad I can jump on this app and make some new friends who are going through the same things I am. I am 5'1" starting weight at my first nutrition class 219, pre op day of surgery 209, 9 days post op 196

My starting weight was 254 I'm 5'4. I been taking my meds it does help! As of yesterday I stopped throwing up which I'm happy about. I been trying to drink my Protein yesterday I was only able to get 2 30ml of it and was easier to get Water in. The thought if food and anything going in my mouth grosses me out I'm really gonna push today and get out walk around Walmart or something need to get some more leggings.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
