Hi all I'm 3 days pre op of my vsg and I just feel horrible I finally got to come home today. I can't get comfortable or anything does it get better? When will I finally start feeling normal.

I feel your pain Ange23. I was sleeved on 12/02 and I'm miserable.

Yeah I don't know if my stomach hurts because I'm hungry or not hungry and not to mention I cannot get comfortable at all amanda

Yes it gets better! I say day 5 to 7!

Taking Colace to finally unstick all the gas that built up in me in the hospital made a huge difference. I'm three days post-op (though it's late, so technically, four) and I was miserable the first two days, but today everything, uh, came out in the bathroom, and it made a huge difference. I'm still cramping a bunch after meals, but otherwise things feel much more normal.

I'm 6 days post op and can't seem to sleep at night. I know I'm probably not getting in enough protein but drink as much of my protein shake as possible. I hate the smell and taste of everything except popsicles and pink lemonade crystal light. I wish I could drink more water at one time. I'm looking forward to the next phase so I can get some food into my system. Any ideas from anyone else as to how to sleep all night? I have one more week off and then back to work. HELP

I had surgery on 12/2 and the first three days were terrible for me. I even wished I'd never gone through with it. Now I still have some soreness in my abdomen, but most of the other stuff has gotten better. I had been on 3 nausea meds and now don't have to take any, so it really does get better. Although I too can't sleep much at night... Though after surgery I slept for like 48 hours, only waking for meds,vitals, and walks lol.

I've had the same problem. I'm preop and not on any diet but I think it's appropriate for me to watch my p's and q's anyway. But I have a very hard time sleeping when I haven't eaten in hours etc so I know the preop diet is going to have me wide awake evet night. ...and hungry to boot. Lol but I know it's all going to be worth it. I've been trying sleepy time tea and tension tamer tea...they are decaf and the tension tamer I have noticed is really making me sleep well.
