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 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 am getting them down for now with no issues, but the gas is crazy

I had surgery 6/29. I cried this morning but I also hadn't taken children's Tylenol yet so I was feeling all of it at once. Ive spent the day walking around, reading, talking to friends about my progress via text and watching on demand shows. Find something to do and walk around a lot. Good luck to you!

Are you folks who are dealing with gas having bowel movements? If you are not having b.m.s then try stool softeners, my doc recommended me to use them.

Had mine 6/28 doing great now onto phase 2 full liquids until day 13 then move to phase 3 purée foods. I have no issues getting down the liquids bought unflavored protein to add to soup. Still having gas no solid BM yet. Although I don't like pain meds taking them twice a day to control BP calling my general dr tomorrow


Had mine 6/27. Gas is better now. Stopped taking pain meds and got more water in today, seems to have helped a lot. Still have not had a BM at all. Maybe I'll call dr tomorrow and ask about taking something for that.


Anyone else neevous? I'm doing what I'm supposed to and I think I'm okay but I keep freaking out about getting a leak or a blood clot. Any little pain in my legs puts me in a panic attack. I'm driving my husband nuts I'm sure. I just hate feeling off.

Sleeved on Wednesday - no issues




I was also sleeved on Wed. Are you having hungry pains? Seems like my stomach rumbles all the time. Feel as if I haven't even had surgery. No pain. No problems drinking fluids etc. feeling scared surgery was not successful


I feel great - not hungry - but if I was I would have a shake or protien- I had my first BM today - I was sent home with senna to take every night.

It reminds me of having a baby - you take your time and the new bowel and habits develop. It's fun!

Are you taking stomach acid meds? What you might be feeling is the stomach acid in your now smaller stomach. I felt that I'm the hospital and 2 days po.
