Anyone sleeve the week of 6/25?

Anyone sleeve the week of 6/25? I had my surgery on 6/27. How are you all doing? I'm at the phase of eating mushy foods and tolerating protein shakes. Definately a learning process. Down 7ish lbs. Curious about everyone else. Btw Dr wizman was the surgeon at coral springs mc.

I was the 27th as well. Still dealing with pain but having a real hard time getting water or anything in. Can only do an ounce at a time and it take awhile. I think I'm also having lots of gas issues. It's so hard to get the fluids down. Starting protein shakes tomorrow and kinda scared.

Well it feels good to know I'm not alone. I felt depressed for the 1st 2 days, pretty bad, felt like I made a mistake. My outlook has changed since then. This forum has helped a lot by reading and seeing I'm not alone.

Cold liquids cause me to have stomach pains, not sure if pain is a good word, it feels like preop when your super hungry, like a strong grumble.

I can eat but I have to eat slowly, like really slowly. A yogurt can take me 15min.

Had surgery on the 28th I was the last one that day so didn't get up into a room until 9pm. Still at the hospital battling high blood pressure and low potassium. First 2 days were extremely difficult. I am feeling much better like I just got over the surgery hump. I taking liquids fine today I start full liquids. Hoping I will be discharged to day however just woke up to half of my face swollen. Need to figure. Our what that's about. Wishing everyone here a speedy recovery.

I slept in a comfy lazy boy for the 1st few days at home.

Pillows pillows pillows. That's how I did it. My incision is on my right side and that's the side I sleep on. Wasn't able to sleep on that side till day 7 but used a pillow to relive the pressure. I'm nine days out now. Getting better. Sleeved on 6/22/17

I had Gastric Bypass on June 27. I don't have any problems getting fluids down.

My Dr has me drink one oz of water every fifteen minutes. I look forward to the 1oz of cream of wheat and pudding. I don't think I get hungry it's probably head hunger. I am adding more 1 oz protein shake shots today.

My pain is mostly from gas. I hope my surgery worked. It's weird that I am not experiencing what everyone else is.

Is anyone else getting their fluids down no problem?

I had sleeve on 6/27. So far, no issues. Liquids go down easily and I even have some "mind hungry". I was up on the first day and I am taking 3 15-minutes slow walk a day. Still concerned that I will be hungry all the time, as I did not expect it on day 5. But optimist that it will work well.


I had my surgery on the 6/26 and the first 2 days were brutal. I cried, I regretted the surgery, I was angry, nauseous, in pain, afraid to drink... all of the possible cons that you could think of I dealt with, but thankfully all of that has subsided ! The biggest thing I recommend is making sure to take your recommended antacids and gas medicine. The pain I thought was from my incisions was mostly gas pain. So getting up and walking around, and getting off my pain medicine is what helped me the most, because I could better determine what type of pain I was feeling. Also get on the scale, in just 6 days I've lost 11lbs. Seeing the weight drop so quickly has made those tough days worth it.
