Has been very challenging, mentally and physically draining! However I notice that each day it gets better.

Any pointers?

I'm keeping track of my Fluid intake, taking my Vitamins, using breathing thingy (forgot the name) LOL.

Welcome to the Loser's Bench!

I had my sleeve done on the 24th. Feeling physically better today but very tired! Have a question about stool (I know TMI). I have had a dark green loose stool the last couple days. Have you?

How are you feeling?

Tired and bloated not really hungry but full having to force fluids in ... Crazy - I want to eat but can't what about you

Listen to your body - don't overeat or overdrink, which can be very easy to do, despite how much you have probably been warned. If you are uncomfortable or nauseous, you have consumed too much too fast. You don't want to get to the in-pain or vomiting level. The Water and Protein guidelines are a target to aim for, but more important is not to overdo things Slow down and if that still isn't enough, it's okay to fall short of targets in the early weeks.

I agree Jam2. So full of gas that it makes it difficult to take anything in!

Very uncomfortable not nauseous (thank God!!!) and the noises coming from my stomach/intestines are just scary!! LOL - The gas pains in the chest area are annoying too I have heard the first week is hard so I really just want to get through this!

Hi, I'm 5 days out ( mine was done on the 22nd) and the gas pain is finally gone. Now I have another challenge with my intestines and the way they react to a full liquid diet. I guess I also need to adjust there . Overall no feeling of hunger, no cravings. I am indifferent to tv commercials and i even cooked bbq for family and friends. The only problem I noticed is that I was so busy this morning I did not drink anything from 8h30 to 14h. I ended up with a huge headache and dizziness that a proton broth fixed almost immediately . I won't do the same mistake again.

I just realized who you were!!!! Hey my love..... I feel tired and sick of damn liquids. I noticed my urine was extremely dark when I went to the bathroom today (and it slightly burned) so I have to get some more liquids in. I went for a walk today for 10 minutes and it drained the heck out of me. We will get through this!

How is your pain level after surgery? That's what I'm worried about ...do they give you pain meds first few days or no?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

They give you lots of pain meds. I had a drip post op while in the hospital. Now I have a liquid pain med I can take every 4 hours. The pain is manageable with meds
