Hey y'all I was just sleeved on Friday!! I woke up in excruciating pain and very nauseous. It was also uncomfortable because even though I had nothing to drink in more than 24hours at that point, I had to pee every 45 minutes because of the IV

Walking was the worst but definitely makes you feel better right after you sit back down. Although they never said it was ok or not, I also found relief by gently laying on my stomach in bed for 3-4 minutes

It is very hard to move easily without help or sit up. It kind of reminds me of going to the gym and workin out abs and you're sore the next day

While in the hospital I had 4 of morphine every 3 hours on the dot!! The pain and gas pain for me was bad. I asked for Benadryl 50 mg IV because I started to feel uncomfortable and wanted to sleep. I'm a nurse so I was able to communicate best with what I need

Today, 3 days out I feel much better. I'm able to shower, and slowly drink Protein shakes again and move from the clear liquid diet

It's so worth it. I lost 7 pounds since Friday

It's good to hear you are feeling better! My surgery is next week and I'm so nervous & unsure of how I will cope with the pain post-surgery.

I wouldn't even think of Benadryl - was that more to help you sleep?

The part I like about your post is the "it's so worth it" sentence!

Congrats!!!! Mines was 09/08! Felt bubbles every time I drink something. I've been doing the GasX strips and I got a "waist trainer" just to hold my stomach also helped with the gas pains. I sleep on my stomach but for the most part a lot of us do... as tolerated. I'm so happy for you!

I had surgery on 09/07. Also had a rough start. Today is much better. I am thankful for a little relief. I have really been struggling since I've been home. Congrats on your surgery.

Hey everyone!! Wow I am so interested in everyone's progress. It goes to show you how different everyone is. I could not even imagine using a waist trainer right now. I would easily throw up!

Yes the Benadryl was to help me sleep. I was so uncomfortable and the morphine alone was not enough. The last dose they served it with 50 mg of IV Benadryl and I knocked out

The pain is the one thing I was most worried about. Also the solution they make you drink the day after surgery to check for any leaks or obstruction is gross!!!!

For me the pain was temporary, after about a week it started to die down and I started feeling like a human again. Off my pain medicine and out and about. Being up and walking around, visiting with family and friends, even going to the store helped.
