I'm almost 2 1/2 months out from surgery, and my experience was pretty much the same as yours. The surgeon visiting my room expressed surprise that I was moving around as easily as I was. Nothing hurt. I stopped my pain medicine and my anti nausea medicine on my first full day home, which was my second day after surgery.

As far as I am concerned, that smooth recovery made it even more imperative that I follow directions closely. I didn't have other reminders to keep me in line.

Day 3 of recovery here and I'm experiencing a lot more pain around my incisions. My stomach is also distended with gas and hard as a rock. I haven't had a "movement" since Monday so my dr. instructed me to start taking Miralax 2x daily to get things moving. He also switched me from Oxycodone to Duiladed because the Oxy was wearing off too quickly. I'm eating pretty well and am getting liquids down a lot quicker than they say I should be at this stage. I also feel "hungry" but understand I may be confusing my growley tummy with true hunger. Sounds like everyone is experiencing recovery a little differently.

I was sleeved on 12/19/16. It's helpful to read how for all of the differences that there are similarities. I didn't and haven't been very gaseous. And only one of my incisions concerns me. It's like the rest aren't there. I did have nauseous moments and vomited the first sip of shake. I walked well and then sat up for hours. I'm loving diet Snapple tea!!!!!!!! Scents have bothered me a bit but overall I am thrilled!!!!

Oh wait, hiccups. . . If I drink too fast definitely. I'm not sure that I've been full yet. LOL

I was allowed very thin oatmeal in the second week as part of my full liquid diet. Each surgeon is different.

I was sleeved on 12/19/16 and thankfully didn't have any issues except nausea a couple times. I feel like I'm starving to death. My stomach is constantly growling. I'm looking forward to oatmeal or something normal. When did everyone start using oatmeal? Second week?

@SleevedByChristmas I had mine 13 December. I felt pretty good! I have my moments, I get worn out easily, but despite all that I was able to get Christmas together for the family, work my 9 to 5 job AND even get in a couple of sewing jobs too (I own a sewing business on the side!). I think the GAS PAINS are the worst. I had hardly any nausea. The closest I got to vomiting was after I took my Cymbalta (broken open in applesauce). I almost felt 'too good' too! We're some of the lucky ones!

Good morning! You sound like me, iwas wondering where all the pain & throwing up was, by day 5 i was doing everything except driving YOU ARE GOING TO BE VERY HUNGER! PHYSICAL HUNGER, not head hunger! When you do taste a drop of food, it's going to melt in your mouth, no atter what it is or who prepared it! I did my 2 wk liquid w/ about 85% success , I skipped the puree & im moving on to soft solids, the intense hunger was killings me, im reading the post where people say thet not hungry & have to make themselves eat & drink! I be. Like, thats a lie!! Oh yeah get ready for the constipation!!! P.s try not to let any one cook or bring any fast food around you! Dont go in pubic for at least 10 days, the temptation of food is like the devil! I noticed sinc my surgery, just simply watchin tv , that 4 out of 5 comercials are food commercials! Look bottom line you may feel good but it takes time to heal! Be very careful & make good decisions within your preop diet! From what i hear, a leak can be life threatening!!! Im now 12 days p.o. & im ONLY 12lbs down & im on liquids & soft small solid bites, appx. 3-4 bites, & hiccups is the sign of fullness , also an over all back & chest discomfort & lots of heartburn! Get some women 1 a day gummies, u will look forward to one every day

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
