I did it. I feel pretty good and they have me walking every 2 hours but the gas is still painful. It's sitting in my chest and my upper back it's almost hard to take a deep breath. But otherwise I'm good. Hope this is the worse of it. How arey fellow 4/23ers doing?

Yippy!!! That is GREAT! You are now on the final road to being the YOU you want to be!!! Sorry about the gas. I know how that feels and it is horrible but keep in mind the benifits. YOU are there!!! Hang in there! You are going to be fine and SOOOOO happy in just a short while!

Thank you. I'm a little hungry which makes me nervous and they gave Pepcid so it's not acid

. I was hungry too- get your liquids in, protein shakes help with being hungry and heating pads always made the gas pains feel better when I wasn't walking

Welcome to the wonderful world of sleeve!

Congrats !!! Healing thoughts and prayers!!

I was also sleeved on the 23rd. There was no way I could have posted that day, I was in so much pain and really out of it. They had me walking right away also. I came home on the 24th and really have just been miserable since, though today I feel a little better. I have no hunger at all and the thought of sipping the protein drinks and water makes me ill. I cannot stomach the pain meds crushed in the sugarfree applesauce, so I have been skipping them. I am hoping each day will get easier.

I promise it will get better! I am 6 days post op and feel great! Haven't used pain meds since the first night. Today I went food shopping with hubby. I'm not driving yet, but hopefully by next weekend.
