I'm scheduled to get my sleeve in July. Anyone else getting theirs in July too? I'm so nervous.

It's the night before for me -- sleep is eluding me! This forum has been so helpful and inspiring. See you on the other side! X

Feel better soon!

Had surgery yesterday. The nausea was terrible. The gas pains are terrible. But the incision pains are ok (so that is good) awaiting upper gi so I can go home...

@doybledinfla make sure you walk all you can, it helps with everything

@@doubledinfla Walk walk walk sip sip sip then walk walk walk....... then rest! For most it works. Did for me, I would walk up and down the ward 4 or 5 times, sip some water then burp lol. And repeat!

Well done, congratulations to the start of a new you and speedy recovery

@Gatzy Sorry to hear you are still unwell. Get well soon!

@@tjstark Hope everything goes well for you today!!

When I drink I can feel it go through something then have a sharp pain in my stomach with gas pain is that normal

Doubledinfla I hope you start felling better... ????

Yes in the beginning you're going to feel EVERYTHING as it travels down to your stomach and gets settled. For me it was like a bad ache that went away after a few seconds, almost like a contraction!

I was sleeved on Monday and I'm doing great. They all thought I was a rockstar at the hospital, I even got discharged a day early. Yesterday was my first full day home and I drank 3 shakes and got in 58 grams of protein. I thought I'd be struggling more! Today I'll get 62 grams in. Yesterday I even drove my 3 kids to the dentist 20 minutes away. That was a bit much and I probably shouldn't have done it but I did. Today I had to bring my daughter to and from camp, but that a shorter drive in town. I'm pretty pleased with how well everything is going!

I am two days out now, feeling a lot better than the first day! I'm sipping constantly throughout the day. I wish I could rid myself of the horrible gas pains though, the actual incisions don't hurt much!

I had mine on Wednesday. I agree w you about the gas pains. And is it just me - it feels weird drinking like it hits something and then drops? And I have like a million belly noises and pains inside (not incisions). I am having a hard time w the liquids. Yesterday I got 20 oz water in and a 1/2 protein shake. I am trying to sip all day and walk. It's really hard. How are you doing w intake?
