Sleep today at 12 o clock. It is now 10 in the evening I feel great. I've done a couple laps around the ward. Sip sip sip. I have a terrible taste in my mouth. That's about my only complaint can't ask for any better I'll come so far.

Hi I was great in the hospital. I didn't get some muscle pain (like I have been doing sit ups) in my stomach until I got home. I still have them.

Did you get to escape those.

Aside from that I'm doing well. Although, I gained 3 lbs.

You're lucky it was only 3 pounds! That is a shocker for sure - I totally forgot about the weight from the iv'a and was so sad when that happened to me - it drops quickly!

Yes, that taste is awful! I have had the worst morning breath since surgery! (3weeks out ). I hope that goes away!

I was sent home 25hrs later. I'm hoping to day better than yesterday. Pretty sore around my belly. Still waiting to pass gas. Hope this happens soon.

Talk about the bums rush- that's awful. I needed every minute of the 3 days I was there. I think that set me up for a good recovery. Be sure to sip water. My nurse set 4 medicine cups out for me and said I had to finish them within 30 min I think. It really helped. Also a pillow held across your abdomen when you have to cough or move really helps. I hope you're doing better today. Do you have a good support system?

I was sleeved on Thursday 7/13 so today is the 2nd day post op. I feel pretty crummy!! It's hard to get enough water in, sipping every 10-15 mins while awake works but as I sleep I feel like I end up behind on hydration.

I keep trusting that I'll feel good soon. My abdomen doesn't hurt much, especially when compared to my 2 c sections which were way worse in ab pain. But the pain on the inside of my guts with the sleeve is distressing. At this point I cannot imagine ever eating anything again!!

The liquid pain meds are disgusting and make me wretch but maybe I should continue forcing it down? Any advice welcome!

Hope you're feeling better soon. Yes, the first 4 days were kind of miserable. Today is a good day. Those muscle cramps (like I had done 100 sit up's) have subsided.....YEAH!!!!

Well I finally passed gas. Still feel like I'm full. It's all I can do to drink my protein. I don't even want it. Just keep sipping the water

Sounds like you are having a good recovery so far. That makes all the difference. I hope it continues for you- it did for me!

Congrats on your surgery. I'm new to this forum and my sleeve surgery is happening on Tuesday the 18th. I'm excited to hear of everyone's successes. Best of luck on your journey

Good luck Sharon!!! I lurked and read a ton before surgery, maybe too much because I had all kinds of fears. Keep your expectations LOW for how you'll feel. Anticipate 4 solid days of awful. Then if it's better than that--lucky thing for you.

There's so much to work through and to remember and to focus on. I started journaling through this process and it's helping me acknowledge and deal with all the feelings that are surfacing as I am moving away from food as emotional support. Not every day is emotionally hard but it's helpful to have an outlet nonetheless.

Wow..Surgery is tomorrow for you. Let us know how you're feeling.

It's normal to be a little and even sometimes, a lot nervous.
