Just had surgery for sleeve today



Recommended Posts

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 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

Yes, it hurts! Just remember it's temporary, that's what is kept me sane.

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
