Thank you everyone! I’m waiting to see my dietician so I can be discharged today. I may be one of the lucky ones because I still have no nausea or pain besides the gas pains. I was finally able to pass gas which actually been helping. I’ve been walking a lot while here in the hospital & moving around. I’m able to keep fluids down although I’m not hungry at all. Scared for the Protein part! I’m still trying to figure out how ima get all my Water in plus protein [emoji30] I’m so happy with my decision in getting surgery! Love this app, love all the support here!

The first 24 hours were awful! Hacking, Nausea almost vomited but nothing came out because my stomach was empty. Left the Hosp, felt amazing. Then I had a low grade fever 99.8. I had the tremors in the evening, turns out I may have caught a virus while in the Hosp, which doesn’t shock me, but I began to shake all over. It was dehydration. I did it realize I didn’t drink enough Water. It was suggested I sip H2O all day/night. However, even with all that, I’m happy I had the sleeve!

I’m so sorry! Yes we need to get as much fluids in. I hope and pray your feeling better though!

I like hearing the good, bad and the ugly. Want to have a very good idea of what to expect.

Well its a combination of all those things but for me...worthy it. It's not easy in the beginning...and you make struggle...but it does get better.

That's good to know. I'm 4 weeks until the big day so I'm trying to keep a clear head

Had VSG surgery this morning. I woke up with bad pain in recovery. I’m feeling better now but still having a lot of gas pains. About to go walk around the floor to see if that will help with the gas. I’ve been tired though in & out of sleep all morning. So far so good though.

Welcome to the Light(er) side Loveroxx. Hope you are feeling better today and congrats on making the decision to Live the rest of your life not just be alive.

Congrats on your journey! Hopefully you have a safe recovery! I got sleeved Nov 28 2017. I’m almost 5 months post op and I’m down 96.5 pounds in total. The gas will pass I know if uncomfortable but it will. I had a Teddy Bear I held and he helped with putting alittle pressure on my tummy every now and then but follow what your doctors orders are. Keep up the walking! It helps a lot! And when in bed make sure your are comfortable. Also make sure no sick people come around you for awhile since your post op. I had a lot happen to me when I was not even a month post op and I’m recovering from a near death experience that got brought on by the flu. Drink your Water and take your Vitamins. That is key to helping! And follow your diet plan you got to a T it helps as well. And there will be things you don’t like and things you do and you’ll come to find out what those are in time but I wish you the very best and if you have any questions about anything don’t hesitate to ask! Goodluck on your journey!
