My surgery for the gastric sleeve is this coming Monday. As most people I'm a little nervous. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips and tricks they can give me so that my first week after surgery is a little easier! Thank you in advance

Just know and accept that the first 12 hours or so following your surgery are going to suck! But once that anesthesia wears off you will feel 95% normal again! I'm 3 days post op and have already lost 6 lbs this week.

Walk as much as you can and sip sip sip! Each day is getting better and better for me.

Take your pain meds as prescribed - don't let the pain get bad or it will be hard for meds to catch up. Walk as soon and as often as you can. Your body needs rest and don't think you feel well enough to do housework or yard work - you might feel fine but your body had traumatic surgery and needs you to take care of yourself. Find out exact post-op diet instructions and stick with them. Good luck to all!

Thank you, I just love this site everyone is so helpful. We all can use the support. My best to everyone.

On Tuesday I will be on my clear liquid diet in preparation for surgery on Wednesday. A nurse at the hospital told me to drink lots of fluids on Tuesday including Power Aid zero to get my electrolytes up. Of course I can't drink past midnight but before that I will drink lots of low cal clear fluids.

Good luck to us all.

How is everyone doing? I'm 3 days out and so frustrated at the gas pains! I knew to expect them but I didn't realize how much they would hurt.

My gas pains and nausea really sucked the day of surgery and the next day! I was throwing up and had really bad hiccups! But the 2nd day after surgery was MUCH better! And today 5 days post op I'm starving! Lol I think I'm ready to eat
