Had my surgery Monday April 1, released from the hospital yesterday. Everything is so sore! Especially my back and it hurts so bad when I swallow or burp. I am hoping this is normal just can't wait for this part to be over. What did you guys attempt to drink your first week out? I did walk a mile today... I was so tired of laying in the bed!

Wow Shrinking Biker..I just looked at my urine and it is pretty gross very dark... I will definitely start drinking more water.. yuk Heyher Thanks for the advice I so! My nurse gave me a stack if the little medical cups to use soI will follow your instructions and see how I do! Thanks again for responding guys... What a new life to live! I sm ready for the ride..

Thanks ShrinkingBiker for your wealth of information. I thought maybe the pain meds I received would take all the pain away, I guess that was silly on my part. What concerns me now is the amount of liquids I am getting in! Omgoodness you were able to drink a full bottle of water in addition to everything else! That was great! I may do 8 ounces total per day! I will try to increase it to prevent dehydration! I am hoping I feel atleast 1000 times better tomorrow after my first mile today. I truly appreciate all your advice!

Had my surgery Monday..and boy was the pain hard to deal with but as each day goes on I feel better and better! Going home today

Sorry for the Typos! Im going to blame it on all the meds Im on....

Ms Skinniness hello.. Thanks for responding also ???? I was elated when my surgeon informed me that he also repaired a hernia I had in my chest that I never knew I had. So far Day 2 no regs.. How many months out are u?

Hey Lisa! Thanks for responding! My PC actually ordered the ultrasound of my gallbladder due to my bp and cholesterol. The results showed I had gallstones. I then callef my surgeon and he said he would remove it during my surgery! I was a bit surprised as I fiqured getting the sleeve would be enough pain to deal with but after looking into somw statistics, it showed that about 20% of patients that have some type of WLS have to also get their gallbladder removed. I see you are 4 months out! ????How has your recovery been? How many pounds have you lost?
