Hello all I am now sleeved! Had my surgery on 8/9 at 2:00p. This is day 3 and not as bad as I imagined. Pain is treated with oxycodone liquid so not a huge issue. Still sleeping in a recliner, bed too much of a pain with the drain tube. Had my first protein shake and took 8oz in 45 min with no issues! Haven't weighed myself cause all the gas and swelling so will wait until day 5 to do that. Started this journey on 5/5/2017 and weighed in at 481. I decided on changing my life with the birth of our first child. I want to be around for her future. Surgery weight was 442. The best feeling I have had so far (and I know it's gross) is passing gas, never been so happy and relieved to pass gas. Feel pretty good and anyone has any questions I would be happy to answer if I can!! Good luck all!

I am also 3 days post opp, and finally out of the pain and nausea that was very relevant the gas and stomach spasms. I'm going home today and I am on full liquids as soon as I leave. For me, the pain was more or less what I expected but it hasn't been easy. I was forcing myself to walk 8-10 laps around the unit day 1. I can't wait to see how my shake is going to go down. Cross fingers. I'm not tolerating geliten jello. Water and diluted juice has been ok. Today I am feeling better and can actually say the worst is over. I'm looking forward to the new me!

My chewable vitamins are a struggle to get down. Do you have a drain tube?

No drains, just 6 incisions. I have purchased from the bariatric store online vitamin patches specific for sleeve or ryny. I dont think I want to take the vitamins oral just yet.

I am 6 days post op today. I am still on clear liquids til Tuesday, 8/15. Stopped pain killers on day 3. Can't wait til I can have full liquids. I have been swallowing full vitamins since day 4. No problem with getting in 70-80 oz of liquid daily.

I am post op 1 week now, still on a clear liquid diet but unable to get all my liquid intake in for the day. Tomorrow I start on full liquid diet and hopefully will be able to get at least 2 protein shakes down a day. It's been a struggle and hoping a made the right decision. I can take liquid meds but no pills.

6 days out and I feel really good!! Getting 60-70 grams of protein, 70 oz of water, no more gas pains!! Taking all meds without issues. Finally had a bowel movement, woohoo. I have the drain tube in until Thursday ....ugh but hopefully I can move to pureed foods this week. I feel like I can eat a steak without problems (well 2oz).
