My experience with my sleeve syrgery: day 1 after surgery throwing up all nausea medicine given to me through iv, lots of gas pain in my upper chest, did alot of walking and helped with moving around the gas. 2nd day is today feeling way better was able to let some gas out the back end lol and the gas pain has gotten much much better still up and walking as much as I can. Really no pain from surgery that I have experienced just the gas pain which im really thankful for. However I'm not able to keep the pain medication down which I took yesterday thought it would help with the gas pain and threw it up as well.

I just had mine done on the 15. I didn't have any of those complications but I thought I was going to. The pain med that I am using is a liquid low dose of Hydrocodone that has Acetaminophen in it. It has been doing great with no nausea. I would recommend that pain med with some gatorade. I can also say walk, walk, walk, walk. It really helped me a lot. Also, one trick with the gas pains that helped is take a really deep breath and hold for a few seconds and keep it tight. Keep doing that and it helped with the pain a lot. Good luck to you! It will get better soon!

I was sleeved the same day. How are you doing? Im having to do just Clear liquids for 2 weeks. Im not hungry just trying to get all my fluids in before I havet to go back to wk. Days after it was hard sipping on 2oz of Water but has gotten better. It seems like i was feeling everything go down to my stomach. Its not really appending that much anymore. Did you ever feel that.

Sleeved on 14th. Got really bad Thursday-Friday with nausea. Only kept down ice chips. Quit pain meds and got rid of all fake sweeteners. Feeling better today-but it's hard to get Protein without fake sweeteners.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
