I was sleeved yesterday and all went well. I'm pretty miserable today--that gas is no joke for sure! But I am having tiny spoons of broth and protein juice, so hopefully that's a good sign. Set to go home tomorrow. Thanks for all the good thoughts!

Sip sip sip, walk walk walk! Congrats and hang in there!

The one thing that's hard to imagine immediately post-op and in the weeks ahead is that you will ever feel "normal" again. But I promise you that you will! Hang in there. It really does get better almost every day. Follow all the instructions and be patient and you will feel normal again!

Way to go! You took one huge step towards a brighter life.

Keep going! It does get better. I felt like crap for the first 3 days post the surgery and then on the 4th day, I felt like me again. I still can't drink a lot and I am drinking very slowly but the gas is dissipating and I feel much better now. You will too, just give it time, lots of rest and sleep. Like the other posters have said walk, it does help, even if you feel too tired to do it. It can be a very short walk but you'll feel the difference afterwards. Good luck!

Congratulations!!! My date is 2/9. I feel like it will never get here.

mine too!

Congratulations and good luck.

Warmest congratulations and welcome to the losers' bench!

It's amazing how different we feel after this surgery. As @@JamieLogical said said so well...you will feel normal again and likely sooner than you think!

I remember fearing every sip and gulp at first and wondering if I was doing it wrong...drinking too fast, not enough, too often. But if you keep up with your surgeon's directives, you'll do just fine!

Best of luck on your journey!
