I am home, I was sleeved on 8/31. I stayed one night, my main complaint was gas pain and nausea. I was up movin around 2-3 hours post op. My biggest concern now is nausea and feeling soooo weak. I'm scared I'm not getting enough fluids. I peeing a normal amount but was pumped full of fluids yesterday. I feel like I could just sleep all day. Im sore this is all normal but just wanted to hear other people's experiences.

I was similar to you, up and walking fairly quickly. pain in one site more than the others and could not lie on my sides at all. I did not feel the need to pee at all and they kept reminding me to go do that. Ad some sugar free cordial to you Water, it is much easier to stomach than plain water. I slept a lot and rested a lot until about half way through the second week. Just keep on sipping.

Is it supposed to hurt a little when you sip on water/liquids? I was sleeved on 9/1 and syoer struggling with liquids. :(

I was worried about the pain too. Anything I ate or drank felt like a knife in my chest. It went away in a week. Now I only have pain if I eat too much.

Congrats to all that have been sleeved and made it through the first week. I am still 10 weeks out or so due to my surgeons busy schedule and getting in for my pre-op appointment. I'm with Kaiser in Northern California and I must say that their Bariatric Department is wonderful.

I'm not too worried about the pain as I have had 2 MAJOR abdominal surgeries and did pretty dang good with the pain. I did it with very little narcotic pain meds, mostly Tylenol.

For me my biggest concern is getting in all the Water that is needed the first week. Any suggestions on how you all accomplished that.

Again, congratulations to everyone!

For the people that recommended sugar free ice pops how soon did you start that? I was sleeved 9/5, only have pains in my chest but I'm assuming that's from gas. I noticed the diet Snapple is too sweet

I started them that day. My surgeon had me start Clear Liquids right away. I couldn't stomach anything but Water for the first 2 days. Now, I'm on full liquids and doing great!

I was the same - I couldn't really stomach anything till day three - and anything cold would make my stomach cramp like crazy. Day 6 (yesterday) I was able to drink cold proten shakes and sugar free pops have been heaven!! I have 5 kids and a husband that love icecream, so it's nice being able to have something with them! :)

Did you guys have your incisions stapled? How are they doing?

I odered Vitamin patches! Should be here soon!

At the hospital I was up and walking a lot and came home and all I want to do is sleep. I do get random burts of nausea. There's a lot of pills to remember to take, acid reflux pill, the pill that prevents nausea and the pain pill. The vitamin patches are my saving grace. I put it on at 7pm and take it off 7 am. I'm day 3 post op and hopefully find a swing in things. Sunday I can introduce Protein Shakes !!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
