This is my 1st post-op post!!! So far so good. Surgery was completed about 10:00, and I was in my room by 11:00. Gas pain in chest and left shoulder at first, but it's pretty much gone by now. Some soreness on my left side where they pulled my tummy out, but no significant pain to speak of. 1st leak test went well - that stuff I had to drink was NASTY!!!

Now I'm working on my 1st cup of Water - best h2o I've ever had!!! No nausea or discomfort!!!!

I'm not in pain, just really sore on my left side. I quit taking pain meds yesterday bc I can't stand the taste of liquid lortab!!! I've gotten all my protein in last 2 days but can only get in about 32-36 oz of fluids.

Can you at least take extra strength Tylenol in liquid form? I couldn't imagine not having my pain meds now.

CONGRATS! Just be careful hanging out on the interwebs - you're more affected by those surgery drugs than you may realize - I sent complete nonsense to my boss at work when I tried to let her know all went well

Ditto. I felt just fine, but my sister reported that our FaceTime conversation about 4 hours postop was pretty entertaining!

Sleeved on the 18th as well. Finality starting to feel better. Still in a bit of pain but much better than yesterday. Lost 2 lbs too but i know i have swelling weight. Getting excited now. Down 22lbs from highest weight

Not sure if anyone can answer a couple questions. I had my sleeve 3/17. Came home 3/18. Still have lots of gas and pain on the side. Has anyone had any of these issues, can't poop, sleep and hard to breathe when laying down?

Need to keep using your breathing thingy they give you at the hospital to keep your lungs operating well. And walk walk walk. Every hour or two. It will get the gas out that they put in during surgery.

Don't mean to be graphic, but the only "movements" I've had have been of the liquid kind - I guess liquid in, liquid out is what I should expect.

Yeah. My innards (lol) kept me laughing for awhile. They were quite LOUD. The, ugh, liquid in/liquid out lasts until you up your proteins or start on solids. It too shall pass. ????
