Just had surgery for sleeve today

Hi all! I just had the sleeve done today. I'm doing better than I thought I would be. No pain but just slight soreness. Clear liquids and broth and I don't feel hungry.

You will feel some gas...and belching helps and walking is definitely easing this.

If you have not had your surgery yet, believe me when I say it will be all worth it when those pounds start coming off! Just follow the guidelines and walk! It's going to be great!

    @@tanya0974, I had my my sleeve done on the 4th also. They ended up having to put me in intensive care because they couldn't bring my pressure up. 67/50. It's better right now. I've walked to nurses

I've walked to nurses desk twice, so I know I'll be here until Friday but it'll be so worth it. Welcome to the welcome to the losers bench

i didn't get hungry for like 2 months after surgery but that\s because i think it was a mental thing, i was eating cause i knew i had to mostly but other than that my mindset on food has changed since and i didn't miss anything that was unhealthy for like 8 months and even now i don't crave anything that bad.

Same here. Some discomfort but able to walk and "eat" a bit. Definitely burping but not too bad. I feel much better than anticipated. Good luck to you going home today. Can't wait to sleep in my own bed. Keep me posted. Toni

I had my gastric sleeve surgery yesterday as well. I am in a ton of pain and really uncomfortable. I haven't had liquids since Tuesday night since they have to do a leak test at 830 this morning. Counting down the hours because my throat is so sore and dry and i have a raspy voice. Didn't think the pain would hurt this much

The first 48-72 hours were so miserable. My mouth was so dry. I had constant aching, gnawing, empty feeling in mid abdomen. I was so nauseous as well. I could hardly take in any fluids after the leak test. I had to stay an extra day in the hospital because of poor intake. After 72 hours, I felt so much better! I am 9 days post op, and was able to get all 64 oz fluids for the first time yesterday. It definitely gets better.
