Nerves are really kicking in today...I am at work and bit cranky--trying to not bite people's heads off! Have mercy! Can't I just go home and hide?!

I was just sleeved 2 days ago on the 3rd. It’s been an experience, but a good one!

How wonderful for you! Glad that it's going good for you! How are you feeling?

I’m doing well! Struggling to get my fluids in but I think every one goes through that. The only pain I have now is from my injection sites of the blood thinners. I’m having some of the bad side effects of that. Otherwise this is the best decision I’ve ever made!!

Welcome and best of luck to you!

I was sleeved on 4/4/19 and never experienced pain. Apparently, I don't know how to sip liquids and am always introducing air into my GI tract. :-)
FYI - don't introduce air into your GI tract.

I had my sleeve surgery on 14 Apr. Doing ok, but the unexpected sneezes (3 so far) feel like they are tearing me in half (about 2 in above and to the left of my navel). I sit with a pillow on my lap now.

Small pillows are a life saver!! Hopefully you’ll only need it the first few weeks 👍🏻

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
