Things I didn't expect my first month post-op

Hey guys, I'm only one week out, but I would love to hear from some of you "seasoned sleevers" about things you didn't expect during the first month post-op gastric sleeve? I have already experienced sole unexpected things myself, like not being able to swallow my crushed pain meds, and ending up back in the hospital the day after my release. I think if you guys shared some of your experiences with us, we can be better equipped to handle these situations as they occur. Please share with us...the good, the bad and the ugly lol! Thanks guys ????????????✌????️❤️

Constipation!!!! I am 3.2 weeks out. I have never been constipated in my life. This is incredibly annoying. I'm sure it's bc I'm not taking in enough water... Get a stool softener like Colace.
