I was sleeved on thurs the 19th so I'm 4 days post op. Trying to get down the liquids and get in my Protein Drinks which has not been easy...two sips and I'm so stuffed, it hurts. Today has been the day with the most pain...thinking maybe I over-did it at the weekend. I'm sore and tired, but thankfully the gas is subsiding...

I haven't started Vitamins yet but I ordered Wellesse liquid vitamins from Amazon. I tried them before surgery and they were not bad. The price was much more affordable than others.

Congrats to everyone for taking this big step! Best of luck to you all!

Txgirl for the gas take a towel, wind up tight to make it hard and press it against your stomach. Try burping it out. &&&& walk, walk, walk. Good luck!

Thank you, I will try before bed time

My doc ok'd my remedy for moving my digestive system along. It worked before surgery. I am a holitic nut so she said go ahead. You rub Castrol oil in your tummy place a plastic bag or Sara wrap over tummy and place s heating pad. It moved gas out etc. Castrol oil works if you swallow also but way too yucky at this stage of healing. I promised it works. My colonic theraphist says it's been used for hundreds of years. My mom gave me as a child also.

I can only get in 1 Protein Shake at 5 days post op and then I'm full for like 2-3 hrs and don't want to drink. It's exhausting! I'm happy I'm at least getting 1 in. I use Isopure chocolate with a tsp of PB2. It's a lot getting maybe 40 of Fluid in and it's rouggggh!!! I'm on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks and I can't wait to start puréed food. Lol it's been a struggle post op a lot of nausea and vomitting. Just sticking to 1 day at a time!

Good luck fellow sleevers!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
