I agree -- things are definitely getting better. The incision where they pulled the stomach out is painful --but I'm feeling much better than expected. We got this team!

Thankfully I have been feeling great no pain just a little winded and tired walking in the neighborhood but just about 10 minutes each time funny thing my son woke me up at 330 am talking about momma do you need to walk lol I think not buddy

What kind of pain? Sharp or sore? Taking any gas-x?

Very sore and pain at my incision site next to my belly button. I feel like pulling. I have to hold my stomach to walk and I can't stand straight up. I've taken gas X a few times.

I'm not taking pain meds due to high cost....but I have heard that sometimes pain meds delay your feeling better. So maybe that's why I'm feeling pretty good today.

Day 2 HOME!

Very gassy and swollen , but otherwise feeling good. Trying hard to get 64 oz of liquid in. But very glad to be home.

Did I say I was GASSY.....lol!

[southernsleeved 17]

I was sleeved Monday and have a lot of pain around my big incision as well. And I'm gassy too! Trying to lay off the pain meds and only got about 1/2 of my liquids in today (was sleeping the other half). Start on full liquids tomorrow. Slow and steady ladies -- slow and steady.

FYI , read up on medical alert bracelets for sleevers. I just ordered one . Just wanted to pass it on

I get sleeved tomorrow. We're down to just a few hours and all I can think of is food. I'm so shaky and hungry

[JudeaJordon 25]

Just came out of surgery 14 hours ago and feeling good I'm so glad it's done, still just drinking ice chips and Water had a shower, still a little tiered, but feeling good can't wait to start exercising wish everybody the best, God bless!! Zxxxxx

GOod luck tomorrow! I am 3 days post-op and tonight for some reason I had this MASSIVE cravings for some warm spaghetti. Eventually it went away (I couldn't have eaten no matter how bad I wanted it anyway) but it just struck me as odd- because nothing of my post-op food (aside from popcicles) has been tasting good and eating is the last thing on my mind. My brain apparently still thinks I can eat "normal".

I am 3 days post-op and still taking all of my pain medicine around the clock. If I wasn't taking the pain meds there's no way I would have been able to get my kids off to school this morning or gotten them dinner and ready for soccer practice tonight. I know it's so hard, but try to not compare yourself with others. Everyone has different things going on. I use a pillow when standing up too because it hurts. Oddly though, my incision where they took my stomach out doesn't hurt, it's the one above and to the right of it that is the most sore.

Just take things one day at a time You are doing great!!!!

[Colleen Rothberg 13]

Day 3 still gassy. Finding hard to drink 64 oz. did eat some Greek yogurt, sliced turkey, and cottage cheese...not all at one time and chewed a million times.

No pain , just sore as hell. No pain meds anymore. Gonna try Soup tonight .
