I had the sleeve procedure done this past Thursday, June 5th. After surgery I was super nauseous with severe gas pains. I managed to get my fluids in and walked a lot. Was released from the hospital Friday morning. Still had some nausea and gas pain, but was feeling somewhat better. I almost puked while taking pain meds but I managed to breathe through it and not throw up. I walked A LOT and that provided relief from gas. Today my nausea is gone and I was able to get my fluids in fairly easy, I am thankful, but also concerned. It seems like I should not be able to drink clear liquids so easily this early on. I have only had broth, water, vitamin water zero and sugar free Popsicles. But it still seems like I should not be able to get those items down so easily 2 days after surgery. Hoping the doctor took out enough of my stomach and that this is not an indication that he did not. Has anyone else experienced my situation?

I had sleeve surgery on the 3rd. released on Thursday. I've had jello. popsicles. broth and crystal light. a lot of each. I think you're fine.

I was drinking as much as I wanted, around 3-4 days post-op...scared the heck outta me!

Have since learned, everyone is different...some can only take in a small amount of fluids (sip, sip, sip), while others are fortunate enough to tolerate much more.

I had far more restriction when I got to the mushy stage, i.e. the more dense the food, the less intake.

I wouldn't be overly concerned, just go with what feels tolerable for you.

Good luck...you're in for one heck of a journey!

Thank you for the replies. It helps to know I am on the right track. Good luck on your journeys!

I am getting sleeved tomorrow!! Worried about being weak!

It is major surgery and you will feel weak afterwards. Just focus on getting your fluids in so you do not get dehydrated. Plan on taking it easy for at least a week afterwards.
