Use a pillow to brace against your stomach, it helps. I couldn't lay on my back until 3rd day after surgery. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery Monday. The hiccups are brutal. Any suggestions for relief? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

It's normal, you'll do fine. Mine was Monday & I felt exactly the same way. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I have the orange - not a fan. I guess I'll try the lemon or berry. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Pain is getting better but I was back in the hospital Tuesday as the pain medication wasn't enough. So long story short - IV pain neds, Vitamins & I quids due to dehydration & a UTI on top of it. Today is better except for these hiccups!!! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

@@KristenLe, I checked with the team, push clear liquid Proteins until next week. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Jay Robb is listed as a clear liquid on my plan, but I can't find any of his products that are clear? Are they referring to the egg white Protein?? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I am facing the same procedures. Can I ask how the recovery went for you after you came home? I have taken 5 weeks off of work as I anticipate it will be a more difficult recovery. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App I don't want to scare you but recovery is not going too well so far. Surgery was a success, Sent home @ 6 PM yesterday. I called Dr. @ 1:30 AM & he said to go back to hospital for IV pain meds. I Checked with RN @ 8:00 AM & she told me same thing. Spouse & I were exhausted so rested and went back to hospital at 2:00 PM today. The pain meds are making me sleep but not controlling pain. Been here all day, they gave me dilaud for pain, fluids & vitamins as I'm dehydrated & now I have a UTI. On the way home now from hospital & have to follow up on Thursday with surgeon. All I've had is water & meds. No protein at all. Sometimes I can't even keep the water down without having to throw up. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

What did they give you for pain, if you don't mind me asking? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

OMG, it hurts so bad! Let me clarify - I has sleeve, gallbladder And hietal done at the same time!!! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I have the same issue, but was able to take some meds to help the gallbladder & it comes out tomorrow at the same time. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is tomorrow too, can't sleep, excited & nervous but have everything ready. We should all keep in touch as we are on the same timeline in this journey! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

My surgery is Monday, I've done really well with the preoperative diet until today. I need to do clear liquid tomorrow and for the first week. I've tried Isopure, Atkins Lift & I can't stomach the taste. Is there a clear flavorless Protein powder that I can pick up locally to mix in with broths, Water. Jello, etc. that taste decent? Any other suggestions for something ready to drink someone can recommend? Thanks in advance. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Do they taste like chalk? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all, I know this phase is short lived and I'm just trying to get through it. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for asking - Thank you guys for posting your plans - this is good information for ALL of us. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm taking a month off as I do a lot of driving. But also the recovery is one side of the coin, the food/supplement is the other AND there is A LOT to learn and you also have no idea how your body will react to the foods afterwards. Take a a much as you can. You CAN always go back to work early. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

This sounds like a GREAT option, easier to manage than the pills & food combination especially for those of us starting out. My VSG is Monday. I do have all the Vitamins but will be off work 5 weeks so when I go back to work the patch seems to be an easier option. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

Where do you get the patch? That sounds SO much better than timing all the supplements on a daily basis. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I did, I interviewed 3 surgeons, had some GI issues, went back to discuss the Gallbladder removal with sleeve and hernia repair. I took all my records. The only extra had to do was lab work as it had been several months but even then, the labs were minimal. For me it was where I felt the most comfortable. Surgery is Monday! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm on the 26th too! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I weight 226 and have had the same reaction... you just need diet & exercise. Surgery is on 29th! Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

I'm keeping it to myself as well. My spouse and adult kids know - no one else. I told work that I'm having my gallbladder out which is true but they don't need to know about the sleeve. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App

OMG! I checked the label and your right! Caffeine AND NSAID. No more for me. I have surgery on the 26th. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App
