I agree with you. You must follow the steps to be successful. Taking it one day at a time. How are you doing so far?

Hi leenieceymic1 ! Just thinking of you today and hoping that all is well. I am excited to get an update from you. Had you on my morning prayer list.

Hello everyone!!! First I really want to thank everyone for the support. It's great to know that I can share this experience with people who understand my struggle & not judge me.

Surgery was on Wednesday. All I remember is them rolling me to the OR, showing me this huge robot & them saying were giving you happy medicine, I was looking up & the next thing I knew I was in recovery. I threw up a few time from being nauseous. But they gave me some nice pain medication. I was up & walking within a few hrs. The gas pain is horrible. I can deal with the incision pain, but the moving of the gas! OMG!!! Unbelievable! I just took a gas strip. Hopefully it will help.

I'm trying to get these fluids in. I couldn't even eat half of a sugar free ice pop. I see my dr on Tuesday & I will be on full fluids I guess for a wk or 2.

Taking it 1 day at a time. Slow & steady.

Glad to hear everything went well! I have heard bad stories about the gas pains, so you'll have to let me know if you discover anything that helps!! My surgery is 4 weeks from today!!

KAfallin: I've been walking a lot, using gas x strips & taking pain meds for pain with the incisions & gas. I haven't taken a full dose of pain meds, I take 1 pill crush it very fine & mix well with cold unsweetened applesauce. Stay hydrated. I'm suppose to get in 30cc of Fluid every 30 mins. I woke up & was thirsty. I had 3 30cc in 30 mins. Once I'm on full liquids suppose to increase to 2 every 30 mins. I'm tempted to drink more but I don't want to stretch my sleeve.

You will be fine. Walk as much stay hydrated & take it 1 day at a time.

I've experienced gas pain before but not on this level. I tried to tolerate the pain in the hospital but I quickly learned to ask for pain meds. Keep us posted on your journey.

I'm such a fast drinker that I'm scared of that adjustment after surgery. I always drink with a straw and can suck down Water like it's going out of style. I know I should try to start changing this now while I have time but it's so hard. Even as a kid my Dad jokingly called me desert belly.

Crystalsleeve it's very hard to sip. I hate it. But if you drink too fast you will feel the after effects of drinking fast. We have to retrain ourselves to eat & drink. It's a challenge but you will be fine. Take it slow.

I saw somewhere a lady that had sleeve surgery that said she used a toddler's sippy cup in the beginning because she had a habit of gulping when she drinks. I do too so I'm think that as silly as it may feel, it may work!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
