5 days out... too nervous?

Hi all. I got my sleeve on Monday, May 12 and had an ok hospital stay (day 1 fever but otherwise ok). I'm home now, and I still can't get more than 1 shake in and nowhere near my Fluid goal, but I'm trying.

Tonight I was trying to get in another bowl of broth with Isopure in it, and I think I overstuffed myself and now I'm worried that I made myself leak! Can I do that? I had some discomfort, and then a brief little pang of pain in my sleeve, but it went away after I took gas-x strips. But I'm still nervous. Help please??

Hi yes I can keep Water down. I drank my first 4 oz of Ujury chicken Protein today. No throwing up. I was a little nauseous after i woke up from anesthesia but no more. I went outside this morning and walked 1/5 of a mile. So far so good. Just really saw in the abdomen. Other than that I'm ok.

HI THERE IM ALSO 6 DAYS OUT OF SURGERY. STRUGGLING TO SEE IF IM HAVING ENOUGH, STRUGGLING WITH THE Fluid INTAKE.

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAVE SUFFERED WITH CONSTIPATION, IM GOING ON A WEEK TODAY SINCE ANY BOWL MOVEMENT.

IS THIS NORMAL, TAKEN MEDICATION BIT STILL NO JOY.

THANKYOU LIBBILOU

Hey, I am so with you on this one. I took a mild laxative at day 4 and it worked. Took one again at day 8 and nothing...then three days later, diarrhea five times! My surgeon said it's normal - there's just nothing in you to come out. Let a little more build up and see how it goes.

I finally had a BM on the 7th day. But very little, you have to realize you haven't really eaten anything other than Fluid. It takes time and unless you feel constipated you probably just aren't ready. Skip the laxatives.

Good luck and happy pooping!

Hey.

I am two weeks today and have suffered tonight from eating macaroni.

I know im not supposed too.

Do you think this caused any damage.?

Doubt it could do any damage, but WHY would you do that? Sorry about being harsh but I really dont get it.

You put yourself through a traumatic surgery and then you eat one of the biggest no no's.
