How long off work?
MIJourney replied to superstarsandi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took 2 weeks off. Desk job but with lots of running around too.I work 12 hr shifts. As of right now (day 4 out) I think I'll be fine then but glad I'm not going back after 1 week. -
I'm drinking! I'm drinking! I'm drinking!
MIJourney replied to LipstickLady's topic in Food and Nutrition
Gotta say Day 4 is waaaaaaaaaayy better than Day 2!! 5 oz of liquid plus a jello in a couple hours without the twinge after each swallow. Moving around better. Still not up for a 5K but ....can see the light at the end of the tunnel:) -

Hernia question
MIJourney replied to watchout4thebiggurl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had the repair. Did not know I had one. Seems pretty common. -

Second day post op...all I feel is exhaustion. How much liquid could you get in?
MIJourney replied to LipstickLady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Day before you Lipstick but pretty much the same with sleeping & liquids. Today was better. Tomorrow will be better yet. That's my thought anyway! -
How much weight have you lost on the pre-op diet?
MIJourney replied to thebabycakes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I tink I lost 11 lbs in the 2 weeks prior but am sure I gained it back in the hospital. Have not weighed in but super bloated in the midsection. -
Where the May sleevers i just got my date!
MIJourney replied to Luvlvnlyfe5's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
May 15th here. Day of surgery & next day in hospital was pretty good. Went home about 5pm on the 16th. Realized hospital bed was much easier getting in and out of then my bed! Slept from 6pm-730 am and slept most of yesterday. Stilling sleeping a lot today but up for longer periods of time. Back pain gone but feeling very bloated. Will not get on scale yet! So a bit better each day. Happy I took 2 weeks off work! -
OK so it's kind of like having a baby. You're always happy for others when they go through it but when it's your turn it's like OMG yea!! I'm so excited. So my time is 9:30 tomorrow morning 5/15. I'm not nervous at all.(probably should be) Have full trust in my Dr and am envisioning a smooth,uneventful recovery. And if it doesn't happen that way no problem, I'll deal with it, I'm just sooooooooooo ready. Bring it sleeve!! Love you guys!!!

Shoulder/back discomfort here too. Only left shoulder. Passed a gal walking in the hall & hers was left shoulder also.

So happy and excited!

I'm on the other side of my S date!!! Arrived yesterday730 am for 930 am surgery. All went well. Small hernia repair, out of recovery & got to my room around noon'ish. Was super tired til 4 or 5pm. Walked around the floor 3 times.1st time not far.Dr stopped in to check on me & said all went well. Was still kind of out of it so it was a quick visit. Held off on pain button til 8pm. Back/shoulder discomfort kicked in. Not sure if it's all the gas they pumped into me or the bed at a 44 degree angle. Dr came by this am to check on me. Starting my Roadside Lemonade now. So if all goes well today with my sipping and walking I may be sleeping in my own bed tonight. All in all so far so good! I've heard from a couple of sleevers from yesterday who seem to be doing well. Have a great day everyone!! -
Are they giving you anti-nausea meds? They gave me some both before & after surgery.

Best Flavor Nectar for Water
MIJourney replied to girlrfriday's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Nectar is one of the options given to us in the hospital as a first drink. Roadside Lemonade, pink grapefruit and strawberry/kiwi are my favs pre-op. Who knows post-op? -
I feel like this is getting real now!
