So I had my sleeve gastrectomy on Monday at around 2 pm EDT.. it's now 107 am on Thursday early morning.. and I just got out of the hospital earlier today.. so far all I've had is half orange juice/half water.. about 45 ounces or so and now I have a big container of room temp water.. that I've sort of been sipping on the last hour.. ok only one sip so far.. but ya.. I'm trying my best to deal with all the pain and stuff.. it's not super easy but I'm ok. Just wanted to share where I was at.. this has been a long process getting to this point and it's almost surprising to me that I really full on went through with the surgery.. no regrets.. I'm happy I did it.. I just want it to stop hurting when I try and drink something hah..

But that's the thing.. oh.. ya.. I had one Hershey kiss.. ugh.. also I tried to eat 5 Ritz crackers but spit them out after I chewed them but I guess some of the cracker got down.. just hard to believe the negative effects of that would last so long.. it's almost been a full day since that.

No more chocolate I guess idk if that's what did it.. was only one Hershey kiss but still not gonna chance that in the future..

Good luck. Hope all goes well SOON!!!

Called the office.. nurse told me the feeling may be phlegm.. and that it's normal I haven't gone no. 2 yet.. and that it's normal to feel strange.. so that's good.. I didnt tell her about the chocolate:p I will tell my surgeon when i have my first post op consult thursday..

Drinking warm water now.. seeing if it helps

Well.. just had along.. with other things my first post op surgeon consult.. it went pretty well I think.. the scale showed a good number which was cool.. down 23 lbs since last monday.. so that's nice.. still have a pretty long road ahead of me but that was a nice thing to see.

Highest weight = 497
Surgery weight = 474
Current weight = 451

Killing it man, CONGRATS!!!!

I am 3 days post op. I stayed in the hospital one night. The first two days were tough. I couldn’t keep anything down. Day 3 has been a lot better. I’ve had 1 premier protein shAke, I premier protein water. 10 oz plain water, a cup of ice and 1cup poweraid zero. It feels like it’s taken all day to get that down and I am going to start in my second shake.

Any suggestions for gas pain? Did anyone use an abdominal binder? When walking my stomach is in a lot of pain.

Walking helps
