Hey yall I am back home sleeved on Tuesday. I was supposed to go home yesterday but late yesterday afternoon my chest pain and stomach pain was pretty bad. My blood pressure was fluctuating a lot also my O2 was low at night so I slept with oxygen. Dr decided I should stay another night ... He removed my drain and almost instantly all pain was gone except for incision sights. But I am happy to say I am now in my own bed still a little sore and nautious but meds are helping. Waiting for my awesome mom to bring over homemade chicken noodle Soup (just broth of course) but I can't wait ????. My only complaint is the cramping when I drink or sip soup hoping that fades as time goes on. Also I was happy when I saw I lost 13lbs on my 2 week diet can't wait to get my weight done at 2 week check up ! Hope everyone else is doing good. Please post experiences and I will also try to stay up to date with my posting !

Anyone have cramps/spasms after eating or drinking ? I also had 2 episodes last night that woke me up out of dead sleep. Idk if this is normal or not but if so am I doing something wrong or is there anything I can do to control this ? Help !!

@@amp2014 I had really bad cramps. I was told it's because I'm drinking too quickly. It takes me about 3hrs to drink 4oz of grape juice.

How is everyone doing?? I was sleeved on tuesday and came home last night. Trying to sip as much as I can and get some Liquid Protein in. Just wanted to check in and see how all my week-mates were doing!

I was sleeved on Tuesday the 7th. So far not doing bad. Very sore and it is hard to get enough down. I just want to sleep on my side again.

I had my sleeve surgery on Oct 6, 2014. I am doing pretty well. I am blessed to have only faced a small bit of nausea. I have kept the circle of people of that I have told very small to try to avoid the negative comments. I am really looking forward to sleeping on my side again.

I was sleeved Tuesday also. Felt great and came home Thursday and barely using the pain meds. So far no nausea. But the back of the roof of my mouth is soooo sore. That started saturday and also my left side started aching. Pre op I used premade Protein Shakes. But now on the powder and can't find anything I like. Whats every one using. Looking forward to full liquids in 2 more days

I have tried a lot. The best one so far is Gold Standard whey Protein. Double chocolate. I have tried other flavors too they are pretty good. My son has been trying multiple brands for years. Arnold Swartzanegger brand is tasty too. I hope that helps.

@@lillian1383840078 that's fantastic! I was also sleeved on the 6th and I feeling pretty good, but I've only lost 10ish lbs. Don't get me wrong, I still think 10lbs is fantastic for me, but it's not a crazy high number like yours. Are you exercising a lot? If so, long are you exercising for?
