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

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
