I have been scheduled for November 12th for my sleeve. I am ready to finish what I have started. If you have any tips for the first few weeks after surgery.

Hello

I had my procedure on November 10th

I am concerned with constant discomfort when drinking water first thing in the morning

Anyone else experience this?

I take small sips, I wait between sips and still have extreme discomfort.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much for that idea! I never heard of it before but I’ll look for it! Where do you find it?

There is also a protein water you can get at the grocery store. It only has 7g protein but it helps

It's called Trimino

Good luck with surgery! Sending positive thoughts to you. They will give you nice drugs in the hospital and you will forget all about your calf strain. ?

They did, I only took them at night to help sleep though, between the nerve blocks, nerve pain meds and tylenol, wasn't much need for the stronger stuff while I was up moving around.

I had mine on the 13th...first thing in the morning does seems to be the worst, fortunately for me at least it seems to get better as the day goes on....maybe you have to wake your stomach up as it is still trying to heal...if I can get my supplements and meds down first thing in the morning then I am happy and give my stomach a break for a bit. Do not force it, if it hurts, take a break.

Hi Butlermom,

is it ice water? If it is try room temp water or warm water. If it’s still a problem, call the dr. And let them know. If I forget myself and take in too much water in my sip it bothers me a little, but maybe you should just call anyways to let them know. Wish you all the best!

5:30 am and checked into the hospital. Surgery day! Good luck to everyone else today and this week!

You’ll do great! Just had mine done 2 weeks ago. You’ll be done early, and back in your room before you know it!

You will be done before you know it. Had mine last week. Just know there will be discomfort as they will fill your gut with air.

I didnt know this before hand and wish someone had informed me.

It does seem to get better through the day.

I seem to do better with warm or hot liquid so maybe I will do that.

It’s so amazing how all programs are different. Mine actually has videos about the air that they put in your abdomen and they talk about having a companion beating (percussing) your back to break up the air and how much walking you should do to eliminate it.

Guess you were very fortunate to get into such a good program! ? I was very disappointed in my program, but I don’t know if it is normally better, or if Covid disrupted everything. I had videos but they were more the psychological side of things.

I was so very fortunate and very impressed with my program at Blossom Bariatrics. They leave no stone unturned and no question unanswered.
