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.

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.

No not on stomach meds

Yeah my stomach is very rumbly and gurgly even after I drink my shake.

So your body is used to making stomach Acids at a high level and needs to adjust to the smaller stomach and lack of hunger. So for awhile your body will continue to produce excess acids which will make u feel like it's grumbling and extra acid can slow healing. I'm not a doc but talk to yours and see if you can start taking over the counter med, protonics, xantac something to inhibit stomach acid production. My doc is making all his patients use stomach acid meds for at least 90 days.

My doc has done 4000 procedures btw. He's very knowledgeable.

HI All, I had my surgery on the 28th ... I'm doing pretty good I still have soreness and pain from the incisions. I can only do small sips of water/broth/shakes ... hope everyone is doing healing up good!

Oh wow this makes a lot of sense. I will def email the nurse. Thanks

I was sleeved the 27th as well. Go from thinking the sleeve is too big to worrying about leaks. But I am so like you all rumbling , sipping, not too much pain or pain medicine since first day home.

Are you guys crying constantly that's all I do I feel beside myself

I got my sleeve on 6/30. Feeling better than expected though I seem to want to get everything in at night. Got all my protein in today and 48 oz of water so I'm on track. No bowel movement but the nurse said as long as I don't feel pressure it's normal and to give it a week.

I had my surgery on the 6/29. I am getting better at drinking fluids, my problem is the pain from the incisions I can't roll at night I can't sneeze it's very painful not to mention the issue of constipation. I wonder how long the pain from the incisions will get better.

Thank you,

I'm having the same issue w/ the incision pains ... it's unbearable at times ... I finally was able to sleep on my stomach last night ... hope you feel better soon!

Well I was so excited to add blended cottage cheese to my foods today but after about a half ounce it made me feel so sick. I didn't throw up but feel super bloated. Ugh.

I had my surgery on the 6/28 and I was in the hospital for 4 days. I wasn't allowed any water on the first day and they just put me on the drip the whole day and night. After that they gave me clear soup, jello and apple juice every meal and pain killers at night. When discharged, the doc stopped my diabetes meds and just prescribed me pain killers. I wasn't in much pain at all from the wounds, just a little chest pain when I try to drink a little too much or too fast. Currently, I'm on full liquid diet till 7/13 when I can start on purée foods. My trouble now is trying to get enough protein in as well as water to prevent from dehydration. I drink very slowly like close to an hour to finish up a cup of 300ml protein shake. I don't get hungry at all but I can feel my stomach grumbling and some signs of gastric pain when I don't drink anything for too long. So I gotta force myself to drink something at designated timings. I've been trying to find different protein related stuff to drink as I'm sick of protein shakes after that pre-op diet. Hopefully things will get better after I am allowed purée and soft foods. I can't wait to eat scrambled eggs!

Had my follow up today and I'm moving to stage 2 ... regular soups (strained) ... pudding and poached eggs ... i'm dying for steak lol

I move to mushy food on the 13th. If the surgeon moves me on. I can''t wait. School starts the 30th of July and I need practice with mushiness.
