I got done on 29th. Feeling uncomfortable on my left side in one area only.

The Protein differences I was talking about, there's whey isolate, whey concentrate, and whey casein. Isolate is the one you want to be using. The others are thick consistency whereas isolate is Water consistency when mixed with water. I've had no problem at all getting my protein since day 1 post op.

I was sleeved on tuesday, 29th and I am still very sore. When I drink anything, I feel it go down and right at the bottom of my sternum I get this pain that makes my back arch. I invasion it's the drink entering my stomach, but I really don't know that for sure... happens with small sips... anyone else experience this???

I was sleeved on the 31st. Lots of gas/bloating. Gas ex strips don't do much for me. I walk and stretch but still no major releif. I've at least been able to get water in. Nothing else yet though. Guess it can only get better with time?...

I got sleeved on the 24th!

Pretty close

I feel like my recovery is going backwards. I have called the on call about things all of which "nothing majorly concerning". But I feel like I am less tolerant to fluids, having more incision pain, my bruises are growing, I sleep all day, a 15 minute walk today was harder than the 15 minutes I did right after I got out of pacu. Ugh. I don't regret my surgery, and I trust my surgeon and his team but yesterday and today were so much harder than post-1&2. But tomorrow is a new day. I will put on my big kid pants one more time, I will cross my fingers that my stomach will accept Proteins with out the stabbing pains again (another new fun), I will get in a decent walk, and I will have the energy to catch up on homework before I fail my classes.

Good luck fellow sleevers, and those of you with smooth recoveries, know I am truly jealous.

I also had mine on the 28th. I feel a lot better now than immediately post op. The first few days were rough especially the gas pain. I can't get all my protein and liquids down but it gets better every day as I try new things and figure out what works best for my body. I'm down 16 pounds from starting weight (7 from liquid diet pre op and 9 post op). What's helped me the most is constantly moving- not just laying in bed and vegetating. Getting up walking around the house walking outside, etc. I'm not ambitious or strong enough to do much more, but all in due time. I'm also a stomach sleeper and have been sleeping on my stomach/side the past 2 days. I get absolutely no sleep on my back and wake up in pain. But I need to lay on the right side not the left, because that's where the larger incisions are. Glad everyone is doing well- keep up the good work ladies and gents

Actually I forgot to ask- did anyone poop yet? I haven't gone to the bathroom properly since pre op. I think I'm going to need to take a laxative soon so I don't get all backed up. Anyone else having this problem?

I also had my sleeve done on the 28th. The first few days was "typical" in that i felt blotted and sore. When I was able to finally go on full liquids, I'm afraid I'm not getting enough of Protein and Water in. After 2 sips, I feel full. I'm literally walking around everywhere with my water bottle sipping all day but I still don't think it's enough. I'm definitely feeling the head hunger and today I felt a little light headed. I was feeling the effects of low calories.

Best to everyone!!

Side sleepers. Grab an extra pillow and use it to support your stomach. Works great for me. Chest pain after swallowing. Smaller sips and lots of time in between. That pain is the air lock of liquid going in and no room for air to come out due to swelling. It will get better. I can now swallow almost as much as pre op. Today I stood/walked for 3 hours while helping to coach one of my kids lacrosse games. But now my ankle is sore haha. Sleeved in the 28th.

I was sleeved on the 29th today was the first day I don't need an afternoon nap.

I move onto purée tomorrow which I'm hoping will help with my constipation. Today I had 750mls of Water mixed with some low cal juice and half a yogurt

62 grams and a cup of clear Soup and a coffee with high Protein milk couldn't face the shake and yes I'm allowed coffee which is making my life a lot more bearable at the moment but I only have the one a day. sleeping is hard as I can't sleep on my sides they hurt to much so it's my back all night.

I'm glad I have this week off work I couldn't face going back yet when are you all going back to work? I had some head hunger today and found myself looking at food for WLS on pintrist and read a few blogs on life after WLS eating out etc tips I find myself researching all the time. I have muscle pain upon getting up and down the incision by my belly button is sore and I feel a muscle pulling when I move around. The scale went up 1.5 kgs today so I'm not going to weigh till next weekend I've decided or il become obsessed with weighing all the time.

I pooped on day 5. it was normal poop. But now it's a softer consistency. But I can say it relieved all of my gas pains
