Hi All, my first post here and I have had my sleeve done today, a bit sore and have to wait until tomorrow to have leakage test before I can drink. Any tips for the next couple of weeks ahead?


Sip your Water CONSTANTLY! Don’t allow yourself to get dehydrated. If you do, (I did) then call your doctor and they’ll arrange for you to get some IV fluids. Don’t worry so much about hitting your Protein goals for the first few days. Just keep drinking. Start incorporating some Bone Broth and protein waters. (My fave is the blue Protein2O.) Walk some to get the gas they fill you with to move! Take chewable GasX. After about two weeks start your chewable vitamins (I take BariMelts. Multivitamin with Iron, B12, Biotin, and Probiotic.) Add in Zinc along with your Biotin to avoid Hair loss. Take Senekot to help with Constipation. I’m trying to think of anything else I do….. I hope this helps!! 😁👍🏻

Thank you so much, it’s all a bit daunting really, I thought having the op would be the hard part but preparing for life after seems very complex. I will make sure I get the Vitamins as soon as. Much appreciated 👍🏻

So I finally made it through the night with no pain meds. I have got to stop over doing it during the day though! It’s just so hard not to carry on my normal cleaning routine. I hate having a dirty home!!

How are you doing with yours? I am a single mom and have tended to push the limits in what I should and shouldn’t do during recovery…

You got this. I had mine on the 6th. I go back to work on the 28th. But I am up and about. Just remember to drink and stay hydrated. That has been the hardest part for me,getting my Water in.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
