Where are the November Sleevers?

[taniaceli 20]

Ok guys important question for me... Has anyone poop? I got my sleeve on the 17... Today is 5 days out and I don't even feel like going at all. Has anyone poop since their surgery?

I had mine the 19th and I went a little tiny bit yesterday after drinking a full Liquid Protein shake. I think we should start as we add more sustenance to our diets.

Alexa wow you were able to drink a full Liquid Protein shake already? I cant seem to get my liquids in at all. Everytime I try to drink something I feel like my stomach is having spasms.

I actually been working on a Powerade zero bottle since I got out of the hospital. Lol is been quiet the longest.

I didn't drink it all at one time. I drank it 3 times throughout the day (or maybe even 4) to get in the whole bottle. The rest of the day I sipped on a Protein shot diluted with Water, plain water and unsweetened, Decaf tea. I guess I am drinking constantly. I have noticed that I get a pressure/burning feeling sometimes when I drink so I have been trying to remember to take smaller sips with more time in between. I also walk and drink sometimes to help get it down and it does seem to help. I have seen on here that someone else makes sure they sit completely straight up and that helps too. I hope this helps.

I hope you are doing ok. Had mine the 19th. Yesterday was a little rough but today seems better so far.

I was on the 18th and I haven't gone yet. I don't even have the urge to and I also don't feel backed up. If it gets worse, I'll probably ask my doctor what to do, I know my cousin bad to take a little of Miralax or something to get her going. Either way, I'm sure it's because we haven't had real food in our systems for so long. Once we got a little more "solid" foods in it'll all get better. I've been told to add more Fiber in and maybe even take Probiotics

I had surgery on the 19th and pooped a lot yesterday! I think drinking 1/2 apple juice, 1/2 Water did it for me. Maybe try drinking some apple juice.

My nurse told me it takes a couple of days after surgery before your bowels wake up. Mine woke up with a vengeance. I had diarrhea for two days than nothing for two days until I drank my first cup of coffee. Then I was clean as a whistle!

I was on the 18th, I had to stay an extra day in the hospital because I couldn't keep anything down. I farted for the first time yesterday that was exciting! But no poop yet. They did send me home with a stool softener and I took that for the first time today.

I have learned that I take a couple sips of whatever I'm drinking and then feel crazy full. Then I quickly feel really sleepy and cold. My boyfriend said maybe that is because my tummy is working overtime to digest my sips. Anyway eating then napping is pretty nice.

Also today is the first day that I have been able to go the whole day without pukeing! That's an improvement!

Here's a photo of my belly today. One big suture because of a complication during surgery apparently.

As I told everyone, I had no complications and am losing weight amazingly. However, I do have a new aliment post-op that I did not have before acid reflux. Did anyone else have this?

[Silver01 5]

Hi Toccora.

I was sleeved back in October and I have to agree with u, I have this new ailment of acid reflux as we'll and I've NEVER had any problems with that before. Hopefully it's just temporary. I am on week 5 post-op and eating solids now and one would think all of those lil issues would have subsided by now. For the last two days I've been taking Prevacid and have had no heartburn/reflux at all. You have to take one pill a day for 14 days of the Prevacid, so kinda wondering will the reflux come back after the 14 days.
