Hey! Just looking for newbies to help me throughout this journey. I'm 4 days post op!

I had the hideous diarrhea too! But I think it was from the Gatorade - I'm now on the other end of the scale!

Jen Em Cee I'd never had surgery either so the whole thing has been a bit of a "AHHH! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" moment!

Hey guys! Sleeved 11/19 discharged from the hospital yesterday 11/21. First/second day were very hard for me. I had extremely bad nausea, vomiting, dry heaves. Any time I changed position/walked - it happened. Was not excepting that at all. I'm starting really slow. Drinking 1-2 oz of Clear liquids now that I'm home but it's been hard. Need to start Protein tomorrow and in not sure how well that's going to go. I did get all my Vitamins in today so that's the only thing I feel I've been able to accomplish. Defiantly harder then I thought it would be. I'm really worried I'm not going to be able to get the protein in and that it will just make me sick.

Hope everyone else is doing well xo

HI I had my sleeve 11/11. 16 lbs down and my blood sugar is under 130!

I'm having problems being bored with Protein shakes and I'm wanting reg food badly.

Anyone else having this problem?

Oh and I was told the diarrhea is from the Vitamins and all the liquids...? I've had it everyday since surgery.

I'd stick with clear liquids until the nausea subsides. The first week I was only drinking 100% fruit juice diluted 50/50 with Water. It help with nausea.

Just had my surgery Friday, just came home today anyone else find it hard to get comfortable in their own bed??? I can't get in without help can get situated properly not a great night home so far

I sleep everywhere nothing works.

I still can't sleep correctly, it hurts! Lol. Thanksgiving will be tough also but ladies, we got this! What liquid vitamins do you ladies recommend?

Ladies, My diarrhea, shoulder pain, gases are really interrupting me of enjoying my sleeve. Although my gases have gotten alot better since my surgery (Nov 17) I also have the hardest time sleeping. My sofa has become my bed that's the only place I'm able to sleep for a couple of hours. What Protein are y'all taking? I am only taking in the carnation Breakfast. I still haven't felt full yet not even with Water. I'm on phase 2 and never finish what I'm eating not because I'm full but because I get gross out,lol! And also the gases don't let me.

Hope everyone is having a better day then yesterday

Today makes 3days po and I'm trying to think on the positive side but it's really hard at the moment. Trying to get in all the liquids and vitamins for the day. So far the only liquid vitamin I'm taking is the calcium citrate w/vitamin D. Upside for the day I had my first ???? and passed some gas felt a little better, can't wait for the pain to go away from the surgery

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!

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!
