I live by myself and did t need any help but had plenty of offers. You will need to alternate between rest and walking so let your kids know.

Guess I have to ask. What is butter chicken?

I was also sleeved on June 23rd. Sorry you have been having pain and nausea. I have a nausea patch behind my ear a d have never felt sick. My pain has been my belly where incisions are but feels better today. I had a couple of spasms and Dr told me they are normal. Stomach is trying to adjust. Try taking some deep breaths to relax. When you sip just take in enough to wet your mouth before swallowing. You can increase as you go. Let us know what doc says.

Day 4 post op is so much better than day 3. I am feeling pretty good and no pain meds since day 2. Belly still hurts when I stand up but not worth pain meds. Got 8 Oz of protein shake this morning and will work on another one this afternoon .

I don't have any calorie goals, jus supposed to focus on liquids to avoid hydration. I think 1000 calories would be impossible to meet. In fact my plan for first three weeks does mention calories.

Good to know the belly pain will be a distant memory soon. I burp a lot too. Sounds like you are well on your way to success.

5. 4 across midsection and one up higher.

Sunshines, don't focus on "what if" because that just creates anxiety. I am Day 3 post op and doing well. No pain in hospital because they gave me meds thru iv. That allowed me to walk a lot the first night which is important. I have also not had any nausea. They put a patch behind my ear. I swallowed my blood pressure whole with no problems. I am having to force myself to get in liquids which is strange. Only pain I have is in my belly from incisions when I stand up or sit down. Even that is better today.

Wow I still haven't had a whole pill yet. They are making me crush. I have to take ursodial for the gallbladder night and day and that is a big yucky pill I have to split in half. Uuugh I wish I could swallow that! You are doing great! I have a contractor coming over this afternoon... I just said to my husband - Oh God I hope I don't have gas or burps in front of this man.... lol I feel for you!BiggiSmalls where are you! How is your stomach doing and are you still getting sick? I hope you are doing better and on the mend. Thinking of you. My surgeon ordered me to not crush pills but I sure wanted to. It went down fine. Good luck with your contractor. I have a kitchen remodel starting monday. Bad timing but I don't have to do anything more.

How are things?

My incisions hurt at first too. Especially where the hernia was. I am 5 days in and my incisions do not hurt anymore and I'm sleeping on two pillows in the bed. Do not push yourself. Take your time and don't over do it. Its a life time so you have time! So happy no gas pains for you! I am still having intermittent gas in left shoulder but do get "the wave" that comes up my stomach and doesn't feel so good. Thats coming with extra drinking (too fast and getting in too much to quick) Most embarrassed of the farting lol. Do your spirometer too. It really does help. Try not to nap late afternoon so you sleep at night at home. Glad you are doing good! Thanks maggie. Good to be able to share. I had a coughing spell in middle of the night. Thanks for reminding me of the Spiro meter as that should help. They gave me a nice cold pack for the swelling. Just took a pretty pill with no repercussions. Yeah. Glad you are doing well! But sorry you are having waves of gas. My stomach and intestines are in a competitive rumbling contest.

Doing ok. Working on fluids.my belly is swollen and the incisions hurt when standing up. Surgeon said my hiatal hernia was larger than he thought so it took almost as much time as sleeve. I keep burping but no referred gas pains. Yeah! Can't wait to be thru this initial stage.

Just got home. Went well. Going to get some sleep and will post more later

Here I go. 7:30 this morning. More excited than nervous. Ready to get the first few days behind me!

Thanks for this. I am having surgery at 7:30 tomorrow!

What if you can sip sip sip past dehydration? What if you have little to no nausea? What if you follow your surgeons plan? What if you succeed?

Yes it will. Mine is tomorrow at 7:30. Keep yourself busy until 5pm. There is a thread in the post op section for "late June surgeries." I think there are some others who posted a date of 6/27.

Mine is at 7:30 tomorrow. Good luck!

I've been taking vit d for years. I buy whatever is on sale at drugstore. They often have a buy one get one free.

My surgeon requires 10 days on south beach diet. Wouldn't hurt to do something.

J16 - good luck to you tomorrow.

I hear you.Mine is Thur and I have a little lump in my throat. I am still more excited than anxious though. You will do fine. Take some deep breaths and let the fear go.

Guess that depends on how your surgeon closed the openings. Mine said I will have stitches underneath that dissolve and glue on top. Nothing for him to remove.

Thanks but my surgery got canceld Sent from my LG-H901 using the BariatricPal App Bummer. Good to hear. Thanks for sharing.

Drinking alcohol so early out is a risk to your stomach that is healing inside your body. Tissues are in a delicate state.
