    Red face I am Sleeved

    I was sleeved on May 17, 2012. I had to stay in the hospital until 5/19 because my blood pressure was high and I could not drink without vomitting!

    I had gas pains the first and second day. But the worst part was the nausea everytime I tried to drink. The dry heaves and wretching are a killer on your belly. I was so afraid I would hurt my little sleeve.

    I don't know why but water is the hardest to drink. I was able to manage the crystal light and vitamin water zero.

    I just took two very little sip of water and my belly has a heavy feeling. I'm not sure what that feeeling means. I tried to describe it to the doctor but he said to sip slowly. I am sipping very slowly. OMG!

    Anyway! I am 3 days post-op and everything seems surreal. I can't believe I have done something so drastic to my body.

    Congrats hun! That heavy feeling is the restriction. You will slowly be able to drink more. Just take it easy for a bit and heal!

    I am 4 weeks out and besides having some complications in the hospital ( I also had a hernia repair with the sleeve that seemed to be the problem not the sleeve) I have had very little problem. I have been able to drink water, but some times are better than others. I have made a few mistakes - no so much with eating badly but just taking that one extra bite that I regretted. I have not vomitted, and have been nauseated enough to take nausea meds 3 times in the 4 weeks and I learn a little more each time. Best advice I can give is listen to your doc and stay with the program and listen to your body!!!!!
    best wishes!!!
