I went home from the hospital today and got to drink water for the first time! My barium swallow didn't show any leads! I shockingly haven't really had nausea but my stomach is still bothering me a ton! Every time I sit up, sit down, lay down, more in certain areas directions, etc. And I'm having really bad cramps. I don't know if it's just gas or if it's relayed to my period, because I went to the bathroom the say after surgery, peed, and saw blood in the toilet), but I used a pad they gave me and saw no blood after that time! I'm planning on asking my surgeon if there's anything I can take for constipation. Oh! And I'm not hungry at all. So weird. Anybody else experience anything like these?

Sounds like you're doing good. I read that you may not feel hungry for a while after surgery. Be sure to keep hydrated. I'll be in your shoes in a little more than 3 weeks.

Keeping hydrated has definitely been difficult. I'm uncomfortable anyway and that doesn't make me want to sip water all day.

I was sleeved on 5/25. Have not had the cramps and pain but want to get the answer to the constipation question too. I was told it was normal to either cough up or pass blood after the op. Good luck.

I was sleeved on 5/27. I have been having major gas pains. Your pain could be related to gas. I also have not pooped since surgery. I returned home today and was okayed by doc to take over the counter miralax to help with constipation.

You're so right! I actually was freaked out be a useful I hadn't pooped since a few days before surgery and my surgeon said I could take coach and I haven't pooped yet, but I feel a lot better. I've been taking gas-ex too and it seems to help.

That should say *because I hadn't pooped

I turned corner today and had a tremendous amount of gas pass. That helped with pain a ton.

I was sleeved on 5/27 and I have been having the same discomfort! It's been very difficult for me to sip water because my stomach keeps cramping and making noises everytime. I have been using a sippy cup and that helps a little better now. As far as the pains, I switch from side to side and try to get the gas moved around...it has helped this morning!

I am feeling about 70 percent today. Moving around, showered, walking some.

I'm having the same problem. I thought I was taking sips but then when I took tiny, tiny sips, I didn't feel as much cramps. I haven't even hungry at all and the MyFitnessPal app has to keep reminding me to eat! I can't wait until I can sleep on my side again! I'm a horrible back-sleeper.
