i agree. Last night I ate wonton broth with the one inside, no wrapper. Felt great for like 3 hrs

i think my stomach wants food that will not digest in 2 secon

i think we underestimate how long it take for food to digest.

We never saw Naseau cause we would eat things that would take awhile to digest.

cant wait to see doc Tuesday

so I can go back to trying real food

I felt the same way early on and wanted to die from the nausea. Found out it was all related to my pain killers which when I discontinued them I found out I didn’t have any pain. Was taking them because I was afraid of having pain. It was a lot easier after that.

This only an educated guess, you are still very swollen inside. Let's examine two good reasons
1. While you were asleep,you had an endo -tracheal in place to help you breathe. Don't worry, every Man- Jack of us did or will have one. It goes with the territory, this is not the type you sit upright in a dental chair for! No matter how gentle a surgeon or an anesthesiologist is, and most of them have done it so often they are smooth as silk with it, there can be a little scraping going in or coming out. Its okay, it will heal, when you have your tonsils out, they give ice cream, we bariatric,patients get cheated,we have to,make do with sugar free popsicles.
2. Your stomach is also swollen, doesn't matter whether,you now have a banananrama sleeve or a kangaroo pouch, you fall heir to swelling. While,you are healing,in other ways, your poor stomach is saying WTF,did YOU do to,little ME? And it shows its displeasure by being red and swollen inside. That too will heal, and like every surgical patient, there will be pain. What pain is worse? Good question, but every one of them hurts, I have had abdominal, facial , arm and leg incisions and healed well from them all. But not a single one of them made me want to,go dance through the daffodils. You are early days yet, give yourself permission to heal.
Remember:
Every Day and in Every day,You are going,to,get better and better. Usually my 3 and 4 days were the worst but we all vary. A very good friend was Day#2 , anotherwas fine until day 7 when she wanted to find her surgeon and turn him into a steer. if you get,my drift. Lucky for him he went,on holiday in either the Bahamas or Barbados where Bajan Sleeve lives. But my friend had fire in her eyes and malice in her ❤toward him.
Darling, check it,out with your own doctor,when you see him, but I am virtually certain you will be just fine!😛

Hello, new on here. Surgery date is 8-22-18. I’ve been waiting a loooong time to get this done and know it’s not going to be easy. I’m psyched for the long haul. Down the road I will be glad and the initial pain etc will be behind me.
I am a food addict. Comments on how you are handling that anyone who is like me?

Thank you, will try. I think I’m just bummed because my two friends that had it didn’t have this much pain, I’ve been in pain all week.

Let’s hope that all it is. Cause I’m set on the fact that this isn’t normal and something must be wrong. Thank you for the encouragement!

Purple Girl, sorry you are feeling so bad. The mint oil will help also if you rub a little on your abdomen just not on your surgery sites. You are probably stressed out to try some lavender oil on your wrist and behind your ears it helps relax you. You can also mix 4 or5 drops in a spray bottle (6 to 8 oz water) and spray it on your pillows before bed.
Feel better soon

This is not a great idea when someone is already suffering from hives.

I am so confused, have you had the surgery or not yet? Is your story somewhere I can read?

Are you asking me or Frustr8? Frust8 was replying to me regarding my post about having surgery a week ago. I don't believe Frust8 has had surgery yet.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
