My Fellow Sleeve peeps,

I had surgery on the 23 and and doing well. I have this pain on the lower right side of my body, it is especially bad when I try to get into and out of bed. Did any of you have this? When will it go away?

Also I managed to get 50 oz go fluids in yesterday, any tricks /tips on getting in more Fluid in.

@@Supermomof2 Always check with your surgeon about any pain you are unsure about. What might be normal to someone might be a complication for another. I know that I've read others complain of pain in this area - or the left - depending on where your surgeon removed your stomach from.

To get more fluids - try different temps - some you may tolerate and be able to drink more than the other. Constantly sip - tea (hot or cold, flavored - decaf), crystal light, Powerade zero, Vitamin Water zero, broth, infused water, Protein shakes (if allowed count as liquids). Eat sugar free popsicles, shaved iced, crushed ice with sugar-free non-caloric liquid (like a slushie or snow cone).

Hang in there!!!
