July 6th 2015 (or close) sleevers...how are we doing?

[GirlOnFire 111]

I'm still very sore from the hernia repair and at the incision sites. My shoulders, neck, and upper back are also sore for some reason though it's not as bad as it was a couple days ago. I'm having no trouble getting liquids down and haven't had anything come back up... Though I have to get back on my anxiety meds (a capsule) and I'm nervous about swallowing that down. Gas pain is better though still an issue. Walking to try and break it up. How are the rest of you doing?

Sleeved 7/6 as well. So glad to get home The day after. Suffered from some reflux and then remembered I was supposed to take a med for that. Better now. I have not had bad gas pains at all...in stead just a hard tummy. I am swallowing gasp pills just fine. Poo is runny. Getting fluids in fine and met my Protein goal each day. My energy is WAY down but that is expected. I am still walking like a 90 year old and afraid to cough, burp, etc because it hurts. sleeping at an angle to help with reflux but might try to sleep on side tonight. I am afraid of a leak I am too careful with. Y movements I think....idk. Are you able to stretch your stomach? Glad to heat all went well for you!

I've been sleeping in a recliner. I'm walking like an old lady too... Usually with a pillow to help hold everything down. I haven't pooped.. Which is kind of freaking me out but my dr has me on Water, sf liquids, and broth... That's it. I'm not adding Protein in for a while yet. It's a lot different from some of the other diets I've read about on here but I am trusting him and his team.

Had my surgery on the 7th. I have been sleeping in a recliner too! And over the last two days walking like an old woman, trying to remember to stand up and not let the "stitch" keep me stooped. The first day I had problems with not pacing myself on liquids and would go from fine to burping and coughing in one sip!

I have been sipping Isopure, but have only been able to get in about 20 grams of Protein in my 2 days since coming home from the hospital. Other than minor pains here and there, doing pretty well.

I was sleeved on the 7th and I'm doing good. I think I over did it yesterday so I'm sore today. I'm on clear fluids until next Thursday. I'm drinking about 90oz of Water and some broth.

I was sleeved Monday the 6th, doing fine here, no pain I find if I put a pillow under my stomach when I sleep on my side it works great! C my doc Tuesday hope he puts me in puree foods! Drinking my Water finding it hard to get in all 90 Protein getting close tho. I purchased son non flavored will add that to mymy puree food so should b fine. Good luck all on our journey to a healthy life!

I am getting in about 55 grams of Protein a day from Protein shakes and or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein broth with out any problem. I am still very low on energy. Got out for the first time last night And ended up in the car with my husband finishing the Shopping... Very dizzy and a little nauseous. Slept on both sides and flat on my back for first time last night! So glad! I am having a very hard time with the Vitamins my dr sold me.... Makes me nauseous every time. I will be looking for a substitute! Check up on Monday

Glad everyone seems to be doing well! Anxious to have energy back and feeling up to doing more!!!

Miralax (30cc'S) is what I was supposed to take if I couldn't poo. Hope all is doing better now!

I am doing much better and am able to drink Water and Protein now. I am so hungry though! I am already taking something for acid so I don't think that's it. Anyone else experiencing this?

[GirlOnFire 111]

I get random grumbles in my stomach that I think might be hunger?? But I'm not really sure to be honest! I know that sounds crazy... Everything is all weird in there right now with gas bubbling around that I'm not sure what feelings are what.

[Texas_Chick 23]

I am experiencing crazy amounts of dizziness... Morning and then again at night. Keeping me from being able to get ready to go to church this morning so I am staying home. Woke up nauseous around midnight- out of nowhere.... Very frustrated. How long is it supposed to take to feel normal again??

[justajackie 57]

Each day I feel a little better and stronger. Today I did a 30 minutes walk came in had a mini meal and went grocery shopping. I'm tired now for Sure but I don't think I could have done this yesterday. Yesterday was my first time getting in some real calories which is why I Think I feel so much better today. The body needs fuel to keep going.

[halfpintvsg 18]

Sleeved on 7/8. Each day is better. Just sore. Had small hiatal hernia repair as well. Still on Water. Gonna try Protein Shake today. Not hungry, but smell of food depending on what it is can make me want it or run from the smell. I still feel the water traveling all the way down my esophagus and hit my stomach which I am told will pass. I am excited to be where I am and no real issues. Glad to here everyone is doing well also.

@ - glad to hear that you are recovering without any issues. I was sleeved on the 8th as well. Each day gets better and better. I'm still on Clear liquids and I am able to get my liquids down without any issues. I haven't had any issues with nausea; however, right now I can't stand the smell of cooked eggs!

I'm finding that the more I walk the better I feel. Right now I only need to take pain meds at night. Hopefully tonight I can go to bed without taking them.
