Where the May sleevers i just got my date!
heatwhip replied to Luvlvnlyfe5's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a hard time coming out if the anesthesia. I was totally out of it the entire time in the hospital. I felt so uncomfortable and being a control freak didn't go well. I expected to get right up and walk. I took 2 super short walks and could barely get out of bed. I was allowed nothing until the next morning after making sure I didn't have a leak. Then I had to drink about 4ozs of water so I could be discharged. I wish I would have laid off the morphine button a little. -
I will wake up coughing a few times a night. It hurts so bad and my anxiety over coughing may be even worse than the pain itself. Wondering if this is normal, maybe getting stuff out from surgery.

I get the liquid and it didn't go well today are the chewable better?

Gas pains. I have has them pretty bad but everyday is better. Sleeved 5/22 -
They gave me a powder mix to mix with 15 ml of water and I can't get past the taste. These gas pains are a killer but they won't go away. Any tips? Also the pain meds before bed to help me sleep. Can't get them down either. 3 days post op here.

Thank god! I may sleep tonight. 4 days post op!

I was sleeved the 22nd and just woke up from a small nap for the first time feeling pretty good. Hoping its a trend I have been feeling horrible! -
I just vomited a small amount and now don't want to drink anymore. I am giving it an hour. I am 3 days post op and had about 16ozs of Liquids today.

Both times I vomited (the first time right after my leak test) it was bloody with mucus. I hate not being in control it is making me insane!

Not as good as you but I am thinking maybe I am a wimp! Lol! My surgery was Wednesday and I am whining about the gas pains lie it is my job!

What OTC acid reducer did you take 3 days post op?
heatwhip posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got nexium that dissolves in 15 ml of water and I can't stomach it. What do you suggest? Looking for something that you can dissolve under your tongue. -

What did you do for gas besides walk? I'm not sure what I'm feeling. It happens as soon as I drink. -

I am day 2 today too and I feel just awful! I can't even stay awake! -
I bought the low sodium in a box and it was not edible. I am on clear liquids. Is the broth off of a can of chicken noodle ok?
-
I am on preop. Tomorrow is my surgery. I didn't think I could have the protein powder.

Clear liquid day before surgery
heatwhip replied to heatwhip's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yay we both had the same amount of preop and the same date! Good luck tomorrow! -
I have been on shakes for 7 days and today clears and it is killing me! I am so hungry and weak. I guess the shakes filled me up but this is the worst. I need to stay strong! I want to just sleep the day away. Anyone else feel like this?
-

Good luck! I'm Wednesday and starting to get so nervous! -
So I have been on the pre op diet for 6 days and only #2'd once and it was a small amount. Should I take a laxative? Is this normal?
