That first night was the roughest. I even had to stay a 2nd night due to vomiting. It does get better. Hang in there. Try to get up and walk to get rid of that gas and don't hesitate to ask for pain meds if needed. It is easier to control the pain if you don't let it get out of control to begin with. Hang in it will all be worth it.

Still at the hospital. I can't pass gas but I've become an expert at dry heaving gas.

Milk those meds then!

I remember I was getting offirnev every 6 hours, dilaudid like 4-5 times a day, and the occasional caldolor and Phenergan. I only got the Phenergan once but wow that stuff gets rid of nauseous fast and knocks you the hell out. I didn't have a lot of nausea but thst stuff is magic

It's been rough for me. How about you? I hope all went well for you. I'm really struggling right now and I have been since the surgery was over.




It has really been good. Sorry to hear you're having a hard time. Just a little gas but I've been walking alot to get it moving.

I've been walking and getting regular pain meds but I think since I had a cold when I came in for surgery that I now have something more serious. I haven't been able to wean off O2 and I don't where O2 at home. So I just think that maybe this whole cold and surgery was a bad idea.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
