Thanks everyone, I'm now day 2 post sleeve, still an inpatient, hoping to go home tomorrow. Started on liquids last night having last had some Friday night and last eaten Thursday night. I'm finding even small sips cause quite a strange pain which I'm assuming is trapped wind. I can't say I feel hungry but I do feel a bit weak - I've been having intravenous fluids - apparently I'm having soup for lunch which I'm quite looking forward too! Just been given a huge bag of take home medications, I'm hoping this means I'm definitely going tomorrow!

Yes it takes a while to get rid if the wind, the more you can move around the quicker it will shift!

Home now, sleeved on Saturday evening, out Tuesday morning. Less pain than I anticipated, but uncomfortable abdominally and still lots of trapped wind. I started on liquids Sunday evening and now up to a very liquidy fruit smoothie for breakfast, peppermint tea, small cup of consommé type soup for lunch and same again for dinner, and an evening warm milk to up my calcium and calorie content (once I realises the consommé was only about 30 kcals in two portions) otherwise the only other thing I've had is sugar free squash. My consultant like all liquids including water based drinks taken from a teaspoon but I find I'm taking in too much air that way and its uncomfortable - I'm much better just taking small controlled sips - so far it's not too bad - these first four weeks of liquids only will be interesting but at least they are safe - harder to figure things out when I can move to proper food! I encourage anyone to go for it (if the only thing holding you back is fear and not funding!). It's really not been as bad as I thought and I don't appear to have had any early complications - here's to future weight loss (once the retained water and swelling has gone down!)

Week 1 weigh in shows I've lost 10lbs since my op last Saturday , pretty pleased with that as I'd already lost 14lbs on the pre-op diet so almost 2 stone gone since the beginning of January - cant complain!

Yay well done!!
