sleeved on 12/29

I was sleeved on the 29th so I am only 4 days out. I have not had an easy time. I also had my right ovary taken out so that may explain why I have had some issues. I just haven't been able to drink enough. The first three days the back pain was horrible. Surgeon said it was from the air in the abdomen. Nothing really to do but walk to release it. I walked as much as possible. In those three days I got done about 16oz of Water, 8 oz of Protein shake and half a Popsicle. I haven’t been sleeping much, 2 hour intervals. I get up and walk for 10 - 15 min, take a few sips of Water and back to bed. Last night when I got up I wasn’t feeling much pain and able to drink a little more. Throughout the night I was able to drink 8 oz of water. I thought I was turning a corner. I made a Protein Shake and started to drink that this morning. Took me about 40 min to do 4 oz and I have been nauseous ever since. I am still sipping water, but still haven’t gotten more 4 oz in. Thankfully my doctor gave me a script for anti nausea medicine that I just sent my son to fill. Hopefully it will help. I also have two other Protein powders to try. Anyone else having same issue? What have you done to still get the protein in each day?

Hello,

I was sleeved on the 28th and also suffered from extreme nausea. I had the dry heaves for the first couple of days. I was able to correlate the worst of the nausea I was experiencing with the pain meds and reaction to anesthesia. Thankfully, day 4 came with no nausea and the ability to drink and eat. I hope your nausea meds worked. Hang in there!

I was sleeved on the 29th too and experienced the same things you are experiencing. Still can't get all of my fluids in. I'm just focusing on sipping sugar free apple juice mixed with Water, chicken broth, & sugar free Popsicles. My urine is clear, so I suppose I'm ok. Husband is going to pick up some Protein water tomorrow so I can try to up my protein intake. Gas comes and goes, but walking and warm showers help.

Hope you feel better soon!

thanks for the encouragement. After taking the meds and switching to a new Protein powder, I was able to do an 8oz Protein shake with no problems. Took me almost an hour, but I felt pretty good. Each day gets better and better.
