Hi everyone! I am new to this forum! Had my sleeve done in Medellin, Colombia yesterday September 5th.

I am not going to lie, I felt like hell yesterday, I kept asking myself why I ever did this to myself. I had horrible throw up fits and was just puking contrast. They kept giving me some nausea medicine and it finally calmed down.

Needless to say my stitches bled a bit, I was really worried that I was going to pop one. But thankfully that didn't happen!

So today, day 2, is a brand new day. I am still in pain and feel like I did 550 abdominals but the back pain and discomfort from the CO2 has passed for the most part.

I am now in my hotel room as I got let out at noon. Car ride was no fun;( but made it and I am relaxing and trying to get my Protein and liquids in.

Yesterday whenever I drank something my stomach and esophagus would cramp up, today the pain has been a lot less.

How do you manage to get all the solids in!? I have two sips and feel full and uncomfortable.

My large stitch is hurting! Okay so today is a brand new day! Hopefully tomorrow will be better!!

Thanks for hearing me out!

Congrats on getting the surgery done. Just take it slow because you are still healing. Don't worry about getting enough protein in the first week. Just focus on getting enough liquid. It will get better. I literally felt like death until day 5. Hang in there and take it easy.

Thank you all for you support! Woke up at 3am with a little bit of reflux so started my hydration at that time 60cc of Water then at 6am another 60 cc plus my pain med and the reflux med. getting ready for my shake in like 20 minutes not hungry though just an empty stomach feeling which leads to a sour mouth anyone encountered that?

Thursday 3 days post op went in to see the nutritionist for further consult. Already lost 5.6lbs I am in schock! So she asked me to move into phase 2 on her plan which is fluids but includes vegetable cream Soup with lactose fat free milk! Felt delicious going down! Made a squash cream soup with a bullion cube some milk and boiled squash. Loved it! However it is now 3 hours later and I am feleling a bit weird feels like if I am going to be sick to my stomach, is this normal bc I introduced milk? Or is it maybe a bm? Haven't had one since the surgery... Appreciate all the help I can get! Haven't been sick yet it's just the feeling!
