Just sleeved April 29th - Oh the nausea!

[Rommy 7]

Happy to report I was just sleeved. Five small incisions and not too much pain. Soreness mainly. The nausea has been terrible though. Unrelenting even with the Zofran. I hope tomorrow is better. At least I'll be going home.

What I have determined about the liquid diet.

1. Air in the stomach is a no no. So if you blend a shake let it settle before you start drinking it. Ice is full of air. If you chew ice you will probably hear your stomach gurgling.

2. If I took too big a gulp I would feel a pain in the center of my chest. Sip, Sip, Sip. I think a spritz bottle would even be better.

3. Dark chocolate shakes were just too chocolaty. I took an 11 ounce shake and added a scoop of the vanilla Protein powder and a little milk and it was great.

4. I alternated shake, Water, and milk.

5. Tylenol made me sick

6. costco sell Eco Vitamins. Mixes with Water and is easy to take. Gives all your multiple Vitamin needs, and your Fluid intake at the same time.

7. Get a timer that beeps at you every 15 minutes and don't go over the 1 oz of Fluid.< /p>

Glad to hear it goes away because when it's bad I start to feel like it will never pass.

I have not been sleeved yet, so I can't relate, but I hope you feel better soon.

The first 2 to 3 wks I regretted have the surgery. Nause, weak,and everything "volcanoed" up my throat. ..I hade my 6 wk check up yesterday. ..lost 32.1. ..energy. ..food going down good just have to stop when I first start to fill full. Glad now I had the sleeve!!

I just had my two year anniversary. I was horribly nauseous for about three months. I was taking oral zofran and had a scopalomine patch behind my ear. A lot of my nausea was learning how to eat the beginning is such a learning curve and figuring out when to stop is key especially when you don't have a lot of feeling in your pouch in the beginning to be able to tell you're getting full until its too late so a lot of times you just need to stop eating just because!

Walk, walk, walk to combat that nausea! I was sleeved a month ago, it gets better! When I was in the hospital I had to MAKE myself walk. It helped. I also met two other sleevers that were operated on the same day as I was walking around

. We have enjoyed sharing our weight loss journey!

I was sleeved on the 29th. I'm trying to adjust to everything. My bed is too high I'm sleeping in the living room until I get use to laying down.

So, just a brief update since I know there were many getting sleeved this week. I was sleeved Wed April 29th and was released from hospital yesterday May first (2 night stay). I'm actually happy I stayed the 2 nights because the day after surgery sucked. I thought I had made a big mistake with this. Happy to report that I haven't had nausea all day. No horrible headaches either. I had to cut the pain meds completely to get rid of headache. Now I'm just really sore and tired. For all sleeved this week - hang in there.

Nausea only on day two after surgery. Dairy products were out for me until week six so I couldn't mix milk with the Protein Powder. One string cheese stick per day was allowed at week three. I start my forth week out tomorrow and the program is running smoothly. I still have one spot of pain between two of the incisions but I think that's where muscle was cut.
