Well I am sleeved!! Finally did it, the pain has been ok so far. The morphine has helped a bit.

Just need to walk off this gas pain today. Slept all day yesterday so I have been wide awake all night .

Hugs to you all

I got on the scale today and it said that I had gained 7 pounds. How this is possible I don't know. I have been following the clear liquids to a fault and I have been walking everyday. Help! Has anyone else had this problem?

I am only day 2, but I have heard people say that you can retain Fluid because it goes into shock.. Just don't stress about it. Stick to the plan and you will be ok.. Good luck and don't let this bring you down.

My dietician told me to only weigh myself monthly because your weight can very so much from day to day.

Good luck! Remember to ask for pain medicine before it gets very bad.It's hard to get it under control. Ask for anti nausea medication if the pain medicine gets you sick.

Never read anything soo True!! Lol and walk, walk n walk some more????

Yes I had that this morning and it made me sick. I was dry reaching , worst morning this morning thank goodness today got better. Had a mini melt down this morning.

Hi, surgery was the September 15th, everything is good except where my drain was, it hurts like crazy. I had a great surgeon, hospital and staff. My daughter was able to come up for the week. My start weight 274 in march, I am already at 246, goal is 165.

3days post op! Haven't been able to hold any thing down

just sip slow, I have had that fear I would not be to keep anything down. I know we are suppose to get 60 gram of protein in I have not yet and I am not trying this first week.

Day 3 for me. I've been walking. Yesterday my sister came and I think I walked too much because I got nauseas. The nausea has gone down since I've been home. Still some. But i haven't even been able to get in 1/2 of the protein. I feel

Really weak too

Hi, everyone!! I am 4 days post-op...had my sleeve done on Sept. 16. I am feeling great about my decision, and my only complaint is these stupid gas pains. Omg, sometimes they take my breath away! I have been walking and sipping all day. I don't feel hungry, but I am looking forward to the next phase of foods - pureed. I have to be on liquids for 2 weeks before I move on. Right now, I'm okay with that!

I hope everyone who got sleeved this past week is doing well!

Hi all!!! Had my surgery 9/17 and all has been well. Not much pain at all but today I'm finding a feeling of maybe fullness with my protein shake for breakfast? Maybe I drank too fast.

I did has a day or so of nausea but the pills worked. I'm not able to tolerate water straight but I have it mixed with a bit of g2 and that works.

I had my first bm yesterday and it was rock hard so I'm going to get some milk of mag today and see if that helps me.

For the most part all is good.

I also gained 7 pounds after surgery.postop 3 days. I now dropped 3 lbs 5 days postop. How is it possible drinking fluids and I can't even drink them all!?
