I don't think you're gonna die. You just need to baby your new sleeve right now and follow your doc's instructions. I'm sure you'll feel better soon, and then be careful from here on out. If pain is really bad seek medical help.

You are not going to die but follow your doctors orders. They are there for a reason.

Don't forget you've just had major surgery. It will take some time to settle, but promise it will. Take your pain meds, stick to fluids only, I was allowed milky drinks here in the UK. If things don't ease up in the next few days just check in with your doctor. It does get better and it is so worth it. Good luck with your new life.

Wow...ice cream?? Tsk Tsk Tsk... live and learn sweety. Stick to Clear liquids, broth, sugar free pops, Jello, and i guarantee in about 2 days you'll feel good and in 5 days you'll feel almost like your old self, but lighter. Stay positive and walk walk walk, that's the ONLY thing that really helps gas/bloating pain. Walk every two hours, especially after eating/drinking anything and drink very small sips. I am 6 weeks out today and feel AMAZING!! Have lost 21 lbs since surgery down 2 dress sizes, have more energy now, no pain, eat real food (tiny amounts which I am good with) and feel terrific and happy. Good luck!

Yes, I had a hard time at least the first five days with the Protein Shakes. Not only did they make my stomach upset but it seemed my tastes buds changed and the were just nasty to me. I went to the GNC and bought a few of their Isopure drinks that have 40 g of Protein each. I can now tolerate the shakes again. 11 days out and I wish u much luck!!!

Hope you continue to feel better day by day. Review the information you have been given to ensure you are indeed following your doctor and nutritionist's specific week by week eating guides. I had my sleeve with hiatial hernia repair on 6/12 and today is my day 4 and I'm feeling pretty good, but I know everyone is so different.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
