I just got my surgery date. February 12th. It hadn’t felt real till now that it’s actually happening. I know it might sound weird but now the nerves are kicking in.

I just got sleeved 2/13, so I'm two days post op, came home last night

I'm in SO much pain, none of the painkillers are helping me, i can barely sleep. Someone please tell me it gets easier soon

YES!

I'm one day ahead of you (sleeved 2/12), and yesterday morning I got up sore and tired having not slept. But as the day went on I felt stronger and stronger. I was mostly pain free, except while moving around. And I was able to get my protein in, which seemed impossible the day prior.

It does! Is the pain more gas related?

Congratulations on your surgeries, Now on with the business of healing, small sips of fluids, try to walk if you can, every day will be less discomfort and pain, get your rest and take care of yourself, you've just had major surgery and if anyone deserves a little pampering , its YOU. Keep us updated, we all do care.

Yes thank you!! I'm working on getting through one protein shake throughout today, although the paperwork says i should have two a day
Hopefully tomorrow i can aim for 2 shakes
Still taking pain medicine every 4 hours, because why not keep myself more comfortable?

I do think it is mostly gas and some incision pain

I'm trying to walk about 10min every hour or so, but I'm considering trying Gas-x to help with this.
I'm supposed to be taking in 1-2 ounces every 20 min, so 3 servings per hour , but I'm doing only about 2 servings an hour because it takes me nearly 20 min to drink 1 ounce

I'm 2/14/18- happy valentines to ME!

I was Valentine’s Day too! How are you doing?

Happy happy,Joy joy your surgery is over Valentine Divas, Now on to healthier thinner days.

Same yesterday I woke up and was like what the hell did I just do to myself. Today I feel so much better. Trying to get all the air and gas out! How are you doing are you getting your liquids down okay?

Hahaha I definitely thought that same thing!! I had my surgery yesterday. Gas pains were horrible but I feel much better today. I seem to keep feeling better after every nap. Liquids are tough but I’m doing ok keeping them down now. Now so much yesterday. I haven’t attempted my protein shake yet. Only thing I’ve had other than water is a sugar free popscicle. I’m going to start my protein and jello tomorrow I guess

Hello, I a new to the group. My surgery was February 8. I was supposed to be home on Saturday 10th but had some complications. I was in until Monday the 12 and at first was definitely having the regrets. But now, I just entered stage two of the recovery food and I am feeling much better. Still take pepcid very morning but that is the only meds I am on. The reflux has subsided as with the nausea. I am now down 20 pounds since the beginning of this journey. I lost about 7 pounds preop and 12.6 since the surgery which was a week ago today. I am very happy now but have some concerns about the diet for week two. Does anyone have any helpful hints? For example, when its low fat creamed soups, what brands do you eat? Have you eaten halo top ice cream for the soft foods? HELP!

Just to put it out there I have found two clear liquid protein drinks.. they taste really good and as long as I’m drinking those it gets my fluids in too! One is protein2o with lots of good flavors and great premium clear protein drink which comes in fruit punch..both can be bought at sams club!

Had surgery on 2/12 having issues swallowing. Once I do it seems painful and my tummy starts growling.

How are my 2/12 buddies doing? I was in a lot of pain yesterday but the pain has subsided.

Pain has gone down incredibly much, the only issues is the gas but finally was able to pass some gas on my own so that has helped a lot each day gets easier! I do miss food though

Hi! Congrats on your surgery and your weight loss so far! My date was 2/6 so I’m just a few days ahead of you. I just got to full liquids on Tuesday. So far I’ve been sticking with low-fat tomato soup and cream of chicken soup along with the Oikos triple zero Greek yogurts, cottage cheese, and cream of wheat. For snacks I’ve got jello, pudding, or popsicles (all sugar free). I’m going to steer clear of any “treat” foods (like ice cream” for as long as possible. The post-op liquid diet is boring and repetitive, but it’s for such a short time. And our stomachs need boring right now to heal properly.

I had a lot of pain yesterday as well. I went back to school on Wednesday which I think was a mistake. I woke up in pain with a headache and very nauseous. I ended up throwing up all my vitamins and had slow going day. I still have had pains in my shoulders and trying to get all my water in but with the protein drink it seems almost impossible.
