I'm surprisingly feeling good. Walked down the driveway and back with no problems it must have gotten things moving cuz I've released a bunch of gas tmi I know. But I wasn't having gas pains anyway. I'm drinking my first protein shake and I've had about 26 oz water mixed with powerade zero already. I have a tad bit of pain after I swallow sometimes. But other than that I just can't believe im doing so well. Been thanking the Lord all morning.

Did I miss post? If so sorry! U home and feeling better I hope..?

Hi everyone finally sleeved! Came home Friday night. For me it was more pain than I thought there was going to be. I had a low grade fever after my surgery and they was concerned about my blood pressure. I slept the whole surgery night with morphine and right after surgery my oxygen levels kept dropping and they gave me more oxygen to help. I have been walking, still in some pain. Hard to get comfortable. Hurts some when I swallow. Have been sick to my stomach. Glad the surgery is over. Having a hard time consuming things. How is everyone? I hope everyone is well! I said a prayer for everyone. Yay we are sleeved!!! :lol:

Surgery day for me too today! Up and getting ready to leave...see you on the other side ;)

Ok. Made it through day zero post op. Felt like I did a bazillion crunches and today maybe just a zillion.

"Gas or belly air" hurt my shoulders worse than my belly I think but still manageable on the pain scale. Would've been nice to be warned of that And I finally peed'd again so I get to go home today!!!

Looking forward to at least being in my own home.

Champagne and any other sleevers this week...best of luck and speedy recovery.

I never had any shoulder passion, mostly just under my diaphragm. I will say my nurse kinda discouraged pain meds other than the iv Tylenol because it makes people nauseous so I kept holding off and holding off, wish I hasn't done that. I finally had some liquid pain med and felt so much better. Glad to hear you're doing good. Three short walls a day after I got home helped so much.

Walking is helping. Finally farted TMI but made some difference.

Discharged a few hours ago. Coming home to three excited dogs and a family that really wasn't sure how to handle things was rough.

A few pot holes later, some liquid Tylenol and a nice long nap I'm doing much better. Trying some minestrone broth and one oz isopure non flavored protein.

I take it thought he Tylenol counts as fluids!!! Didn't realize the restriction yesterday but am today.

Sipping my oz items now.

How's everyone else?

Well everyone, I am home now...sore, but alright. I was feeling really good @ 6pm on the very first day, and I was walking and all, then it quickly changed. All of a sudden I was in pain and horribly nauseous. I vomited a total of 3 times between midnight and 8am. Apparently they thought maybe at first I was just sensitive to meds, then they thought morphine was the culprit, so they gave me delotid(sp?) and as soon as that hit my veins I was sick again. They finally pulled me off all narcotics, and gave me toradol(?), which is a strong iv version of ibuprofen, and phenergen(sp?) for the nausea and that finally worked! I wasn't advanced to liquids until 8pm on day two, and that was just sips of water. This morning I started clear liquids and it's been well tolerated. I don't have much pain, just very sore and the occasional gas pressure. They said I could advance to full liquids, but I think I'm going to take it easy for a couple of days. I am very happy to be home tonight and in my own comfy bed. :)
