Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I am 3 days out from surgery and it is so much tougher than I had imagined. I had to stay an extra night due to naseau. Now, I am sipping all day but was only able to get through half of one 8 oz shake. I am working on some Water now.

I know it will get better, but I am just feeling so awful, almost like it will always feel this way...I just want to get back to feeling better again!

Welcome! I hope you feel better soon.

Yea i feel ur pain. I was sleeved on 7/22 and my stomach hurts most of the time. I cannot tell the difference between gas pain and hunger pain. I can tell you this tho, i have no regrets. I cried this morning realizing that Im 3 days post op and have not been hungry at all. They were happy tears bc im finally free. Im not hungry all the time and i can actually eat to live now. I do believe that it will get better. And should u be drinking protien shakes rt now. I dont move to those until week 2. Im still on chicken broth, popsicles, sf jello, and water.

Hi vgsjourney, my nutritionist said to drink shakes and that protein was most important. She even let me make it with half milk since I don't really like them with water. She said if I can tolerate it, I can even have it with with 8oz fat free milk.

Hi, sorry that you are feeling this way rite now but trustt me' it will get better! Everyday your gonna notice you feel better than the previous day, it's small changes but you'll get there! I'm 1 month op now and i feel just fine, no more gas pain no more incision pain and i could sleep how ever i want! i just have trouble getting all my protein and my water in but i'll get there! Best of luck and take it easy day by day.

. The first week is really tough. Hang in there and get as much liquid in as u can. It does get better second week. I'm on the fourth week and feel great. U will get there. Just remember you just had major surgery and your body needs to heal and rest. Good luck!!

Hang in there, it will get better day by day. My 1st 7 days were awful. I was nauseated and had the gas pains in my shoulder. Eating more than a 1/2 teaspoon full of anything was a problem. I swear I was only eating a bite or 2 of a sugar free popsicle per day that 1st week. But it was all worth it!

Thanks for the encouragement. It is a bit better today. Have drank 4 oz of my Protein shake (15 g) and will try get more down in a little while. Have had 1/2 of my 17 oz bottle of Water. Not too bad I suppose. I just can't wait to feel better!

My first week was just horrible. And I had read the wrong topics b/c I only heard of people feeling great. I finally found others in my position.

It gets so much better!!

Hi!

Glad you are feeling a little better. I had the same experience with nausea and having to stay an extra day. The abdominal pain was terrible. And like you, I could not and am still having a problem getting all my fluids in. It will take some getting use to that you cannot tolerate much volume and your energy level will drop from lack of nutrients. I found that chicken broth helped most with my nausea. It is great to be here with people who can relate to what you are going through. You will always find encouragement here.

Healing and Blessings,

Jeannette

I can so relate! I am 4 days post op. And am really feeling crappy. I am trying to get all my protein and fluids in, but it's been really difficult! I have read that it will get better, but right now I'm just so frustrated! This is really hard!

I just had my sleeve surgery Thursday the 24th. Drinking broth and water. Can't have protien drinks till Wednesday.
