Update: I'm in the hospital right now.

Can't sleep. Too many wires and doodads. Had surgery midday yesterday. It's 5 am now. I stopped pain meds last evening it's just super sore now. Gas sucks. I can eat the Popsicles. I can eat the ice but drinking is tough. It hurts the gas somehow. 

Sjoukd be going home sometime today. 

Happy to hear your surgery went well.  Take it slow and easy for the first few days but be sure to walk.  That should help the gas. 

Stay well.

Great to hear. The first few days can suck. Walk as much as you can, and make drinking your mission in life.

Every day gets a little better.

Those Popsicles were awesome to me. Ask for banana! Welcome to the land of the losers. I'm heading into week three post-op and things are really starting to look up. Hang in there. It's gonna be good stuff!

Oh yeah, the gas sucks. My gas pain was on and off for about a week, but it was never as sharp as post op days 0 and 1. Walking helps. Hope you're able to go home and everything continues to go well!

Congrats on being sleeved, and welcome to the losers bench!

I couldn't drink for almost a day after mine. I couldn't even do the popsicles. The nausea was too much. It helped when they gave me the anti-nausea stuff. Also, I requested pain meds to sleep (I don't understand why the hospitals try to stop it so quick).

Walking really helps eliminate the gas. My gas wasn't too bad but I made it a point of walking as much as I could. The good news is the worse of it is over. Every day gets better.

Congrats! Glad everything went well. Drinking was tough but my surgeon said don't pu**** because my IV would take care of me while in the hospital. Walk, walk walk for that gas. It's the only way to relieve it.
