Thanks for the heads up.... I am only 3 days out.

I had my sleeve last Thursday and went home Friday morning. The only pain I had was gas pains. It feels like a heavy cramping menstrual cycle. Last night I walked a mile... That really started moving the bloated feeling. Everyone is different, but you will make it. The hardest for me was day 1.... Good Luck and Congrats!!

My pre op nurse told me that my vision would be blurry and not to fret. The anti nausea meds that I take has this side effect. I am blurry up close but ok far away. I know my vision is good though because I saw my eye doc (he performed my LASIK) not too long before my surgery.

Oh, yes! I couldn't walk because It hurt my back, but my friend came over every night and we rode our bikes thru my neighborhood! I had not ridden since I was young... It was so much fun and low impact on your joints. I was sleeved in the 4th, so I have to wait until Day 5 to ride.... I can't wait !!

My doc let me have coffee from day 1. He said that it wouldn't hurt me as long as I add a sugar substitute and lite, non dairy creamer. I love my coffee... I am only able to sip 1/4 of a small coffee cup though. Oh, I was sleeved Oct 4th. Good luck!

Sleeved 10/4. Finally Back Home!

Good for you!! Keep thinking positive thoughts. I was sleeved Thurs. 10/4. The painful gas inside is not in our intestinal tract, but in the cavity where the surgeon worked his magic! I, too, am ready to eat, but not because I am hungry. My husband is an awesome cook! -

Only 1 Day Of Liquid Diet?
plbutler replied to Randgalt's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My BMI is 42. I'm on a high Protein diet until the day before surgery. The day before, I have to be only on clear liquids. I have lost 10lbs in two weeks on the high Protein diet. -
