On the 3rd of April i was scheduled for my gastric sleeve. That went great. i woke up with tons of pain all in my shoulder and belly. I had a extremely hard time drinking water but day 4 and it’s been much easier for me to get down the clear liquid broth that my mum made for me. It was really hard for me the first couple of days as i felt extremely nauseous and suffer with ‘Emetophobia’ so as you can imagine this has been a very hard experience none the less. I was in hospital for 2 days and was sipping on my fluids enough to be sent home which was great as the hospital was very great, welcoming and attentive i just became really home sick the third morning i was there so glad they discharged me that day. I am currently taking laxative for number 2, paracetamol for baseline pain and acid reflux medication i forgot the name but i’ll make another post maybe later on ever medication i’m taking.
My 5 incisions are feeling a little sore but nothing i can’t handle but they are getting particularly itchy.
I have been taking powerade zero sugar, gatorade zero sugar and Sustagen for protein in the morning my stomach has been able to tolerate that well so i’ve been enjoying that. for lunch i had a beef that was boiled in fresh coriander and yummy potatoes. (the broth was strained) hahaha.
right now just focusing to up my fluid intake as much as possible as i don’t want to be dehydrated and follow my surgeons instructions with the broth and protein milk which has been going good.
4th day has been amazing for me. I was super emotional the first 3 days but today has been great for me.
I’ve lost 5KG which is great pre op i lost 3KG and post op i’ve lost 2KG.
Any tips or tricks or suggestions from fellow sleevers please comment below i’d really appreciate the advice.
Any post op sleevers the same time as me please leave a comment i’d love to see how you guys are coping. Stay safe xx

Congrats on your surgery, it will get better I promise today is my first day for pureed and I can't wait to make my food and I also about baby food as well. But you will make it through these 2 weeks

oh wow congrats on your puréed stage that’s fab! i also just got my period a couple of hours ago so yay adding all that to the pain, it’s a lot right now but the medication is helping me manage. Good luck in your puréed stage x
