Who else is getting sleeved on the 19th? I'm in Baton Rouge, La. Would love to have a sleeve buddy!!

I'm so glad I can talk about this with you guys. I definitely don't feel alone. And yea I should have asked for a heavier pain med. @@VSGMama I've had 2 c sections as well!! They were a piece of cake compared to this surgery!

I agree ladies. My two c-section we're a piece compared to the VSG surgery. This surgery IS NOT the easy way out!

I can't imagine throwing up right now as sore as I am. I walk around the house holding a pillow across my stomach just in case I cough. Bless your heart!!!

I've thrown up once as well. Nurse tried to push me to have more water and then I threw up. So I've only got through 1.5 glasses of water so far. But hoping that will improve

Had my surgery this morning. Am doings good Dr still has me NPO. AM STRUGGLING wth gas pain too. I have walked up and down hall going that will help. Glad to hear everyone doing well. On a good not lost 22 lbs on my preop diet.

I am sorry ladies. I too am walking around with a pillow in case I cough. I can't imagine having to throw up. Hang in there ladies.

Congratulations lily3!

Congrats ladies ....my surgery was March 23rd one thing that help me was ice chips if u can't get water in ice chips will be ur best friends it help me a lot to get liquids in since I couldn't drink water as much right after surgery!! It will pass and praying for quick recovery for all of you!!

I agree ladies. My two c-section we're a piece compared to the VSG surgery. This surgery IS NOT the easy way out!

Same boat here! I had a c section and thought thus would be mild compared to that and wow I was wrong. I was really sore last night trying to sleep in my own bed. Did much better on the couch and feeling a little better this morning. Glad you guys are here! I know I shouldn't weigh myself yet but how is it that I've GAINED three pounds since surgery? That better all be fluids!

abbyrn28 your so funny. I ended up on the couch last night also and I weighed myself. It is fluids. LOL!

I lost 12 pounds in my 2 week preop and it was HARD! I started at 240 and surgery day I was 228 so yeah I was annoyed about a gain but I know I need to be patient. Are you on liquids for the next 2 weeks too Disciple?

I am on clear liquid for a week. But I can add a thin protein shake if I can comfortably drink 50 ounces of clear liquids. Then week 2-3 I can eat clear liquids and puree consistency foods.

Similar to me. I have 2 weeks of clears and can do protein if the clears are going down. I have some protein broth last night for "dinner". Tasted good to have something salty.

Do you ladies get a sudden pain in your stomach that lasts for about 30 seconds without even drinking anything? Are these hunger pains? Or acid reflux?

Abbyrn27 I enjoyed my chicken broth also. I think the warm liquid we down easier.
