My recovery has been horrible

I had my sleeve done on the 23rd. Since then, my energy is completely drained, right ear is muffled, and i voimitted for the 3rd time today. I had my 1st post op appointment yesterday and dr said everything is fine. But the couldn't even get a blood pressure reading cause the machine kept saying cos. Last night i had 1 grape and 1/4 cup of strained grape juice around 9 pm. Just now i voimitted that and its noon. Also i have this funny gas feeling by my stomach all the time and it only seems to be affected if i eat something. On top of not having the energy to walk, take a showe, going downstairs. Im completely miserable. Im stuck in bed while my city (houston) and friends are enjoying the beautiful weather and festivities. Im drinking alot. I even bought expensive protein jello. I should be starting puree foods on Monday but how can i when food refuses to make it past my stomach into my intestines

I had my sleeve on 1/23 as well, i can tell you i wouldn't even dream of trying a grape or even strained grape juice yet. I'm allowed on pureed food as of yesterday. I tried a pureed hard boiled egg with some mayo the night before that...i don't care if i never see one again...UGH However, looking back after trying chili last night, i know my mistake was trying too much of the egg. I pulled out the scale and weighed out 1 oz of chili, and slowly ate it with a spoon. BEST THING EVER! Then i tried another ounce, again slowly. I was able to eat 3 ozs in about an hour.

I would bet that you are trying too much too quickly. Slow and steady is the key from what i'm learning because if i drink too quickly, i feel horrible like the Fluid is coming back up my throat. Get your fluids in an ounce at a time every 10 mins or so. The same with the pureed food, measure and take your time, don't push yourself. Your stomach is like a closed fist with the swelling and maybe the size of a straw going through it. it needs to heal. (I watched a video on you tube, made so much sense after seeing that)

Good Luck! :)

Ive been worried because im supposed to start puree on monday. Yesterday i had nothing but Protein drink and Water. I was good all day then i voimitted. I think i drank too much tho. All in all since i found the isopure drinks life has been a easier. Im getting my energy back. I was looking forward to eating food but now im scared
