Hey everyone,

I was sleeved on May 16, 2018 and am now home. When I first woke up from surgery I was hit with severe 10/10 nausea some of the worst I've ever experienced. My first thought was WTF did I do to myself! That's how bad it was. It is now more controlled, but I'm wary of it coming back. My surgery was at 7:30 in the morning and I was released about 3 pm the following afternoon. My blood pressure was high the entire time I was in the hospital (my BP is usually normal), but they said that was likely due to CO2 and fluids. My largest incision hurts everytime I stand and begin moving. It feels like it's ripping in half and burning, but when I look at it it appears normal. I try to get up and walk every hour as directed. I just finished sitting up for 2 hours, but I am now laying down because I get tired very easily. I hope that's normal. I would say my overall energy level is about 30% of normal at best. That's my update for now. Hope any recent sleevers are feeling good.

10000% normal. I was in pain for about 3/4 weeks. I also didn't get my energy back until that time, too. Completely normal.

Thanks everyone for your replies. The support here is amazing. I just got hit with a strong sudden nausea/heartburn pain that went across my chest. I spent the last 5 minutes walking up and down my hallway hoping that it would pass. It is finally easing off. That's the worst I've felt since I was in the hospital. I'll keep reminding myself that somewhere between 2-4 weeks I'll feel like a normal person again.

Yep I’m right there with you. I was sleeved Mon May 14 and had such severe nausea that I couldn’t even keep down the tiniest sip of liquid. By Wed morning I finally felt semi human again and was released from the hospital. Nausea has almost completely disappeared and pain is tolerable. Every day gets better!! Welcome to the journey.

I was sleeved on May 16th as well. I have had 0 nausea thank the lord. That was one of my biggest fears along with Constipation. They gave me a nausea shot in pre op before surgery and I told the anathesialogist about my fear to, so maybe that's why. I also found out that the pain medications they give us will cause both of these. Other than a terrible headache I had in the hospital from the morphine and the gas pains I feel really good. Hang in there we only have good things to come. Congratulations on your journey to a new you!

Congratulations!!!! That’s awesome! So smart to get a nausea shot before surgery!! I had headaches for the first 3-4 days and once I got back on my regular schedule of meds and was able to keep some foods down they went away. Constipation is real and not fun!! Praise God for baby food prunes! I’m down 9 pounds as of today and am shocked. Can’t wait to hear more about your successes!!

Nausea has been at a minimum (knocking on wood) so far today. I haven't been able to do 60g of Protein since surgery. I think at most I've gotten through 15g of liquid. I'm going to try and do more today. I'm getting my mini walks in, by walking up and down the hallway. No walking outside yet due to low energy and rainy days.

Hi all, I had my sleeve, which is 4 yrs old, revised to Rouyen Y on the 17th. I told the Anesthesiologist I get nauseated and he gave me a patch, so no problems. Also, if nausea persists you should ask for an RX of Zofran. My pain is mostly gas I think. Love the baby food prunes idea! Good luck all!

Wow!! Good luck on your new journey!! Getting ahead of the nausea is crucial. Today I had waves of nausea but it went away with two Zofran.

OMG...you guys...apparently my pain was not normal. I went to the ER Monday, had emergency surgery on Tuesday, and got discharged today. Apparently, I developed blood clots in my gall bladder. I was never told the cause, but I was told to stop my blood thinning med. When I tell you that I spent 30 hours in intense pain with at least 10-12 of those hours screaming I tell no lie. The pain was unbelievable and the surgeon said that my pain level was normal for what was wrong with me. It redefined my pain scale.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
