I've had a surgery before so that was reassuring but post op I did celebrate being alive, lol. It also motivated me to get up and walk, and to get over my stubborn self in the hospital. I didn't want to add to the risk of the surgery. That risk motivates me now, so calculate the risk and conquer your fears. Good luck -

My husband is away at work most of the day, I prepped with shopping before hand. My energy was up 3-6 days out. There is a home visit schedule, guess for wound check. Make sure the person who drive you home can drop by for incidentals Debra, good luck -

Good luck, my doc gave me a preventative gallstone med post -op so I will take it religiously. Maybe we need more healthy fats in our diet. -

What was uour system for getting in fluids the first week out?
paulapep replied to Shiner86's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hot passion tea sweeten with monk sugar (splenda product) this morning worked for me, I drank nearly 7 oz in a sitting. I read somewhere on here to drink hot lemon tea in the am since the stomach is more swollen overnight from saliva. Yesterday my tummy felt like a swollen mess with all my Protein shakes so might do a few more warm liquids today. -
Should I try Protein Shakes Now or Just Wait?
paulapep replied to Myonlybattle's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am post op and living on pinterest for ideas now. you can add yummy stuff like greek yogurt and sugar free Jello powder. experiment with it. Can't wait for next week to try cottage cheese and scrambled eggs, and I doubt I've ever eaten cottage cheese but hey,new lifestyle -

Maybe you discuss your weight with your doctor within the year. The letter from your doctor seem simple, not to mention they weight you every time you go in -
