Hello everyone, I am writing from my hospital bed 1 day post-op. Yesterday was tough due to the effects of anesthesia. I really wasn't in much pain but nauseous and really tired. I literally slept all day. Just felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open. Was able to get a little walking in late last night once I was able to stay awake for a while. I second everyone's comments regarding walking. It really makes ALL the difference in getting the gas out. I'm feeling much better today. Just got back from my GI test and was told my pouch looked superb! Currently awaiting orders from my surgeon to begin liquids. Thanks for the well wishes from everyone and I will keep you posted!

I thought I would update you all. I had surgery yesterday around boo,. Everything went well. I had a hiatal hernia that was also repaired at the same time. At first all was going great. I got up and walked and was visiting with family until about 10pm. When they left I went to bed and had a rough night here in the hospital. I was in a lot of pain.vthete was a spot on my back that was killing me. I was upvptretty much every hour. Today I was hoping to home but my blood levels dropped and I can't get enough Fluid down yet. It's harder than it looks for sure. Hopefully I can go home tomorrow.

Ouch gas!!

[lisaanewme67 123]

I am 3 days post-op and pooped this morning. Wasn't much but enough to help relieve some gas too. I've been walking a lot and the gas isn't too bad. I came home from the hospital yesterday and I'm feeling not too bad. My stomach is sore but that's expected. I gain a few pounds in the hospital but lost that last night. Now I am just trying yo get some Protein Shakes down and my Water. Little sips...I also exited for this journey to finally be here! Thanks for asking! How is everyone doing?

hi glad to hear all is going well. I came Home Sunday. Last night was the best night of sleep I have had. Rough day today. Allergic reaction to my nexium. Broke out, eyes lips swolled up & burning itching hands & feet. It was the most scariest and horrible feeling since surgery. I paged my resident on call he told me to get benadryl which I'm taking now. Its ups and downs but totally worth it. I've had worse being obese. Glad to read your update!

How long after surgery until you can poop? This bloated feeling is miserable!!

I was two days post op. Diarreah all day but it did come!

[lisaanewme67 123]

Hi, I am also having surgery on June 9th and am new to this site. Ultra excited most of the time, but a little anxious, too!

it us exciting I'm 4days post op. You will have good & bad days, hours, minutes, moments. Embrace them all. Learn your body and follow the instructions given by your team all the way. Best of luck!!

Oops noon. I hate my auto correct

Checking in here ladies - I had my Roux En Y yesterday and it was by far the most difficult day of my life. My pain was manageable, but I was nauseous all day and night. Up nearly every hour walking. Had my leak test this morning and passed, so I was switched to Water. Was told I could have four, one ounce med cups per hour, got one ounce down and was nauseous again, so was moved back to ice chips. Then about noon today, I developed diarrhea which is not fun when you are trying to get gas out. That passed and now I am resting pretty comfortably, planning to go home tomorrow but not looking forward to the hour drive.

I am 1 day post op. I have no gas yet and I've been walking. No nausea from my drinks either. I'm starting to wonder if I'm a freak because the pain is very minimal too!

congrats it gets better everyday. I am 5 days post op. You can ask for something to help with the nausea. I had a patch given to me by anesthesia the day before it helped but I was still nauseated a Lil too much to walk after surgery right away. The nurse injected some meds in my I.V. took it right away. (Too late now, but someone else reading it might benefit). Hang in there you are doing well. Its hard in the beginning but I am feeling better each day. Just walk when you can, a little helps and don't push or over do yourself. Your body is using a lot of energy to heal itself. Drink, drink drink. So happy you are on the other side... Its an awesome accomplishment!!!

lol, no you are doing well everyone don't have the same issues. My Surgeon told me to stay off of the blogs long before I had my surgery because of hearing about other people's issues thinking or expecting it to happen to me. You may have a totally different journey. Thankful that you are doing well. Keep up the awesome & positive work!!

Hey everyone! Was sleeved Monday and it's been interesting. I am in more pain than I thought I would be in. The first day was not bad but when they switched me from iv meds to oral meds it got much worse. I am home now and doing better. I hadn't passed any gas until last night

Finally started coming out and now pain is netter

[nieuwevis 294]

hello! 2nd day post op, feelin fine. gas is annoying but manageable. i agree with pp, it's so crazy how different each journey is. i was expecting this and this and that but that's not been my experience so far. even my post op diet is soooo different from what I've read for others.

but i am so glad to be on this side. i was holding my baby girl and i just got so excited thinking about the things I'll be able to do with her in a smaller body. what a gift.
