I was also sleeved on 4/26! It was a really rough first 72 hours... Today I woke up feeling like a million bucks. I haven't had to use much of my hydrocodone, yet. I used some before I showered to make it easier for me to move. I'm having a hard time getting the 64ozs in me - I'm terrified to start vomiting again.

Oh man! I only had a rough first 8 hours or so, but have been ok since. I'm definitely having a hard time getting in my fluids. My husband goes back to work on Tuesday, so I'm trying to be as mobile as possible.

My pain hasn't been terrible... I've barely touched my hydrocodone. I more so take it to help me sleep comfortably at night. My bed is super soft and hard to get out of, so I've been sleeping on the couch since I came home. Everyone is different, but I've heard the worst comes between days 3 and 6 of post-op. I'm on day 4 and still not really feeling it.

Hi Wyatt!

I just got my sleeve on 4/20 in Sacramento. Having the same experience as you so far. Not much pain, just focused on getting all of my liquid and protein in.

Wishing you well.

Hi! My pain has been totally manageable...it was just the initial waking up in recovery and being in quite a bit of pain and nauseous. I am now able to do most things, just no lifting.

My sleeve was on April 25th. I feel ok with pain just tired and emotional. I'm not sure if I am doing the liquid diet correctly !

Hi I was sleeved on 4/26 too! My first two days were rough, because of nausea and sore throat from tubes,,the night nurse got me some throat spray and that helped a lot..I had to put off my swallow study to wed. and it still made me throw up-- thankfully they got enough pics before that! I think the swallow stdy was the worst part of the whole thing lol. Hope you are feeling better every day!

Hi everyone!

I had the gastric sleeve done in OK on 4/27! I'm 23, 5' 11" and 300 lbs. I was definitely not as prepared as I should of been, but everything has been going okay.

Three days of liquid diet, then had surgery on the 27th. Woke up to news that they removed my gallbladder AND repaired a hiatal hernia too.

Stayed one night and walked the halls a couple of times, the morphine made me immediately nauseous, so tried liquid hydrocodone, same result. Asked to be released from the hospital after proving I could hold liquids down and they said yes! Lots of pain the first two days with standing and laying down. But it has faded by today, thankfully.

Plan is: two weeks of full liquid, two weeks of puréed, two weeks of soft, then two weeks of solids.

Goal is 65 g of Protein.

I'm keeping down two Water bottles of crystal light with a scoop of Protein powder each. And then a protein mixed drink from Bariatric Advantage. Maybe a sugar free Popsicle if I really need one.

TIPS: Bring Biotene Spray for after surgery. I swear using it during the blue ice test after surgery will be a life savor.

Also if they give you a wrap after surgery, bring it home. I wear it every day. It helps SO much.

I went to Dr. Lana Nelson, her office is in Norman, OK. There is another doctor associated with the group Dr. Keith, I believe?
