Is this normal? 2 Days Post Op

[CashmereAndBones 36]

Hey guys,

Yesterday I got my surgery and was in the hospital all day yesterday and most of today. I just got home today. I've been burping but they seem to get getting stuck and not forming a full burp. I'm also so tired all the time, maybe it's because I didn't sleep the day before my surgery and the day of my surgery I was woken every 2 hours to walk. I drank 7 oz of Water and 1 oz of pedialite, had half an oz of cottage cheese, 1 1/2 oz lowfat yogurt and I'm sipping my Premier Protein throughout the day. I am so full but I know I need to try to get liquids in. Is this good for now? I plan on eating an egg later. I'm so scared life will never go back to normal.

the first few weeks can be tough - but you WILL get through this. Life does get back to normal after awhile. My eating habits can never be the same as they were pre-surgery (I now eat fewer calories, smaller portions, less fat & bad carbs, more protein), but I don't really feel any different than I did before (other than 200 lbs lighter, of course...).

Honestly, for the first week or so if it's weird or kinda hurts, it's normal. You will absolutely be back to normal, and honestly, it's going to happen much sooner than it feels like right now! The first few days/week are about doing what you can. Remember that your goals are goals... you will have to work your way up there, and that's ok!

I'm surprised you're eating foods so soon after surgery but every Dr. has different rules. Try to make liquids your priority over the food at this stage. Staying hydrated is so important.

I had my surgery done a little over a month ago and the first 10 days were hell. It gets better. Focus on Water over everything else right now.

I would stay with a liquid diet for at least a week. You don’t want to injure your sleeve. Being tired and weak is totally normal. Take it easy and give yourself time to heal.
