4 days post op and feel great.

I am 4 days post op being sleeved and I feel great! I have some incisional pain discomfort but not too bad. I have not had any nausea, vomiting or reflux. I have had no problem tolerating my fluids, even my Protein drinks. I feel like I could eat regular food, although I won't because I know my stomach is healing. I almost feel like I didn't even have the surgery except I don't get hungry, which is great. I am down 10 lbs from my pre op stage till now. I see so many posts with people with issues post op. Is it normal to feel this good so soon?

I'm a week post op as well. Down 6 lbs (not including the weight fainting the op IV fluids). What are you doing about the gas pains? I'm having them as well.

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! Thank you for posting this. All I hear is how bad people feel, the gas pain being so horrible, you have made my day.

I felt great after about 6 days. I'm 6 weeks post op and still have yet to be nauseous, throw up, etc. I just moved to no restrictions on 9/15 and so far, I've tolerated everything I've tried. I think we are the rule and not the exception. IMO, it seems much more unlikely to have a bad recovery than it does to have a great one.

I'm on day 6 and I'm a bit more sore today than I was yesterday, but I pushed myself a bit yesterday afternoon with extending my walks and shooting for 3 miles. No biggie - the dilaudid mixes well with my morning coffee. ;)
I've had no issues with fluids or shakes (or even thicker shakes blended with ice for a Protein milkshake type of thing). I feel amazing. And the scale showed another 1.5 pounds down from yesterday.

Hi- I am 6 days post op and am in about the same boat. I feel good. I am maybe a little more uncomfortable when sitting at my desk which I need to do for 8 hours a day. I have gone back to work full time since I can work at home while I sip my constant liquids. :) I am not hungry either but I like the term head hunger. That is a great way to describe the desire for pepperoni pizza that I have every now and then still.

I am working on just sipping my liquids but I gave up on using the little cup. I found that 3 small sips was equal to the cup. But I don't always wait the 15 min. Is that okay or could I already be stretching my sleeve?

I am getting 30 grams of Protein but only taking in about 200-300 calories. Is it okay that I have lost 12 pounds in 6 days?

My energy is decent but I do get a little light headed on the treadmill. Not doing a ton but trying for 10 min twice a day.

Thanks for any advice. :)
