Anyone having sleeve may 19 or around that?

Looking for people to talk n support each other threw the Process

Or any tips about day of Surgery

I was sleeved on May 13 th. I'm doing pretty well...so hard getting in all of the protein. Water which I hated before is my new best friend. 5 days post op and I'm still really tired and weak. Tomorrow is my first Dr appointment hopefully move to mushy foods! Any one else feel weak and lightheaded? I'm so ready for my energy to return! Good luck to you all!

How did you feel after surgery?

I was really sore but I got up right after I came up from recovery and went pee. Then was able to get up and pee on my own after and walk around. Sitting up was rough as well as turning over. I slept on my stomach last night. Only taking pain meds at night. To help sleep. Gas pain on and off was really bad right out of surgery but it gets better. I'm just ready to start this new chapter in my life!!!!

I never lost my energy... I started vitamins (chewables) three days before surgery... I also found chewable squares of biotin and I have not lost any hair at all except normal shedding. I found protein ice that I drank on my clear liquid diet!! I think this helped! It is real high in protein... Chike has a great ice coffee packed with protein and tastes great! I had this every morning. Their shakes Taste better than most as well. I had my surgery 4/23!! I had a ruff day the first day post op because I didn't get my butt up and walk enough... The gas is what hurts! My doc wouldn't give heavy narcotics because it binds you up but he took pitty on me and gave me one dose and said "walk walk walk" Ahahah so I did and felt much better!! Not sure if this helps.

I just had my sleeve surgery may 7 so I'm about a week and a half out post op and I'm getting super sick of this liquid diet!!! Anyone else in the same boat??

I am one day post op and feeling ok. I'm walking and trying to get my liquids in so I can go home. I want to get to sleep. Your not left for a minute alone, plus there are other patients in my room. So noises. Ok I'm grouchy!

How many people in ur room?

Day 1. Walking like I should but failed the barium test because of swelling. Having a hard time with pain after drinking water. Not sure if it is gas or surgical. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Good to have the support group to help

How many people in ur room?

There were four of us none who had the same surgery, one women had 3 lawyers in there. Very small space! I'm home know what about you?
