8 hrs post op - NOT what I expected

So I had my sleeve about 8 hours ago and while in recovery they gave me a pain medication and it knocked me out and not in a good way. I was miserable up until about 2 hours ago. I still made myself get up and walk though cause the gas pains are terrible!!!! Walking is the only thing that has given some relief. I haven’t had any nausea but when I drinks sips of water the gas comes right back. And the soreness of my stomach is awful too. I will say the more I get up, the better it gets. I haven’t gotten any more pain medicine because of my experience earlier and hope note to. I am pretty hungry but scared to try any broths because of the water making my gas worse. This too shall pass and I am praying that this is the first day of the rest of my life! Good luck to all of you up and coming sleevers!!!

Thanks everyone! Day 3 today and I feel much better. The only thing really bothering me now is the soreness. My husband has been a trooper by taking care of the kids and me without complaining one time. I also bought some gas x to take and see if that helps along with the walking
