One week post-op HOW ARE WE DOING?

How are all our friends who had surgery this week? I had my sleeve done on June 25th and i was doing great at the hospital, using the restroom regularly, able to walk well. Now that i'm home i am struggling a bit without hospital pain meds. It's not unbearable by any means, but it feels like i did 800 sit ups and i cant bend over, bend to the side, getting in and out of bed hurts too, and i have a very slight burning sensation toward the bottom of my belly. Hope thats normal. Im doing my best to get liquids down, but its almost half the day and i'm down only half a bottle. The pressure and discomfort in my chest reminds me of the endoscopy discomfort but thats doing much better after day one. Good news, i've been releasing a lot of the gas which has helped but i still feel like a blimp full of helium walking around. How's everybody else doing in their first week post op??

I was sleeved June 17th so I am a week and a few days out. I have no pain at all from the surgery. My regular pain is still there! LOL

I am doing mostly all liquid/soft food (yogurt, cream soups, jello). I am working in soft soft Protein --about 1 ounce per day. Not very hungry and drinking a lot of Water.

Have not done much exercise as I am limited by my pain but I am doing a lot of moving around the house, cleaning and staying busy with projects. As soon as I heal, I can get back in the pool to exercise.

Had my post surgical office visit on 6/26 and I had lost 13 lbs.

Congratulations! Sounds like you're doing really well :)

@PChayy05- "chewable vitamins...seven course meal"...I can relate to that.

You guys,

I had my one week post op check up. I lost 9 pounds, and the doctor said I could basically have most things as long as they're blended and not too thick. So I can add bananas, Peanut Butter to my shakes.

He also removed that gross pouch thingy. (My surgeon leaves it on for a week). Freakiest sensation ever! Glad that's over :)
