Greetings from the other side(VSG)

I feel the same was sleeved 10/4/17 also. First sip of Water when I came home I had dry heaves... horrible. I still have quite a bit of pain & am trying not to use the pain medication.

When I sip anything I can feel the pain in my stomach as it goes down. Nervous to drink too much or too little.

Anyone have suggestions?

Hi! I had my surgery oct 3, came home the night of the 4th. Its been a little difficult consuming Water so i drink the crystal light instead. Has anyone been feeling any dizziness??

Yep probably from the meds, I am surprised they released you after one day. Check out the drops you can put in Water for flavoring, I found one with only 5 calories and in different flavors, really good!

I was sleeved on 10/4/17 and had to go back in for fluids. Dehydration is no joke. I’m still having a hard time getting in fluids, but I was able to get in a shake today, so that is progress.

Good luck to all of you. The beginning was the worst part. I would say it took a good month before I started to feel myself again physically and about 3 months before I really started to feel myself again mentally.

Tips: Take small sips, adjust the temperature of liquids if you are having pain with fluids. I found that I could tolerate colder beverages better but some people tolerate warmed or room temp beverages. Take your time and take slow sips. And most importantly move! The gas can take a while to get rid of and moving really helps.
