Hello everyone..... My name is Tonya and I am new to this site... I am 6 days post op. Everything went good with my surgery and I am hoping to meet some new friends on here to help me along my journey... The gas pain was the worst for me but walking did help with that. So far I have truly been blessed with no nausea or heartburn and the pain is starting to die down from the bad gas. I hated drinking water before surgery but now Its my best friend...

Welcome to the board, feel free to ask anything. Someone on here has probably experience it. :-P

Hi Tonya! I'm not too far behind you! I'm due to have sleeve surgery this Thursday, 4/3. It's good to hear that you're doing okay overall. I hope the pain continues to subside. Hang in there and stay in touch when you can!!

Hi MsTonya, good to see you on the boards. This is a great place to share ideas and information and I hope you will share what you need to share and take away whatever you need to help you in your journey. We're all on the same path.

Hi Tonya,

I'm also 6 days post-op. Each day is getting better. I'm still struggling to get 64oz fluid/60 gms protein in each day. On clear liquids for 3 weeks.

Hi there,

I am 4 days post op and doing okay. I've had some issues with vomiting and am really struggling to keep anything down besides water. I did well with applesauce today but that's it. The gas pains are the worst tho! I have that and keep getting hiccups, the two together are quite painful. Each day is better tho and I think we all know that in a few months we are going to be looking and feeling great! Hope you all continue to have success!!

Hi I'm Jacquie I was sleeved on 3/24 and am doing really good. Mild soreness but am getting all my protein by doing two syntrax nectar shakes a scoop and a half per Shake. I've been drinking my water and miso soup has been so good. I'm down 10.2 since discharge. Really happy! So ready to start full liquids and puréed foods!

Hi-Im Jen and was sleeved on March 27th. Doing well now that nausea has subsided. Being switching between Bariatric Advantage & premier Protein shakes and drinking, or should I say sipping Water & apple juice. Still in a bit of pain but have been walking 3-4 times a day. My ounce intake started at 18 first day home from hospital & today Im almost at 50 oz, so Im happy.

Will be happy when the pain & soreness are gone.

Hope you continue to feel good.

Take care

Hey there! I am 5 days post op and I am not sure if I am getting all my Water, and this Protein is difficult. But it is a process, so we take it day by day. The gas is bad, but we walk! I think I am drinking too fast, but I am working on it. Everyone keep your head up and your liquids down! XXOO!

I was sleeved 3/31. On full liquids but honestly struggling to get in 64 oz of water and 2 protein shakes. I'm getting close and today it's easier to take slightly bigger sips. To mix things up today I made a chocolate protein shake and warmed it up like hot (not too hot!) chocolate. It's going down easier like that. I havent lost any weight yet but I suppose I'm still swollen. Hope to see some progress on the scale soon!
