Just now jumping in here because I had the sleeve on 3/28. I feel okay mostly, just sore but I am really struggling with getting in my liquids. I feel like I am going to float away from effort. How in the world could you possibly get 64 oz down in a day is beyond me!

My sleeve was on 3/28/16 . Im having a hard time getting anything down and keeping it there but each day gets a lil better. Unfortunately for me, my hospital stay will be a little more lengthy than others. Because of my mitral valve replacement im on blood thinners which caused me to be admitted on 3/25/16 to thicking my blood up before surgery. Now im waiting for it to thin back out before i can return home.

No way I can get all the liquids in. For me when I swallow I'm ok until I feel it hit my sleeve or intestines who knows which. But it's about half a second after I swallow. It's keeping me from drinking more. Even tiny sips feel the same just not as painful.

I too am having a hard time even getting close to my liquid goal. sleeping all the time doesn't help but does ease the pain a bit. I still am having spasms that I can even feel in my back. It's hard to tell when I'm full because I'm so sore. I think I'm feel when I feel like I have to burp but cant. Jello is my friend right now even though it takes me a couple sittings to get it all down. We really can't hold much. New life...

My spasms are my upper stomach area and go around to my back. Lifting my arms or tapping on my chest seems to help. At least that's what I make myself believe.

I had the roux-en-y on 3/29. I also had my gallbladder removed. The first 36 hours were very, very tough, but I've been improving steadily since then. I only spent one night in the hospital and my husband was nervous about me going home so soon. It was quick, but I really couldn't rest there at all! Too many interruptions and the IV made noise al night. It was much better in the reclining couch at home. Now that I've turned that wicked corner, I can say it's not too bad. I'm fortunate in that I haven't had the gas pain - air is coming out both ends. LOL. I'm able to drink the Water and close to getting it all in. Closer not that I'm awake more. I'm only on Tylenol for pain and it's managed okay. I've had broth with Protein powder, applesauce, Protein shakes. Going well so far. Now to heal, rest and follow the rules! Good luck everyone!

We are still swollen. Therefore the air sitting in our stomach etc has to go out when liquid goes in. This is exactly like home house plumbing. Imagine trying to empty a large jug of milk. Pop the top and it lurches out. Make a hole in the top for air to move through and it pours out faster and smoother. Same here. We must eat drink slow to allow for the air and liquid to pass each other in our swollen esophagus stomach etc. as the swelling goes down it gets easier every day. And WALK! sleeping and sitting all day is making recovery longer!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
