My hubs is in the usmc- message me if you wanna keep in contact with me and our surgery updates I started puréed food yesterday it's a bit weird Anyone worried about cravings when u see how hard it is to drink even Water you will forget wanting anything else for fear of pain-- that's how I feel anyways My friends four months out and here and there she still sneaks chocolate pizza Pasta friend foods - just stays in her portions and budgets the right foods around it and she's doing amazingly Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Don't feel bad about being in the hospital still my doc required three nights and four days and I honestly wish I would have stayed a few more - I'm one week post op and I'm on four hour infusions since I can't keep anything down Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How are you doing - my surgery was the 7th - I actually gained ten pounds from the Fluid and gases and stuff from my pre surgery to discharge date ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh and when did your gas pains start to subside Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am five days post op- the surgery went well and my surgeon decided to experiment with me and only do three incisions as opposed to the standard five . I was feeling fine in the hospital ( obviously on hydromorphine pain pump for two days- then went to liquid norco) I've been out of the hospital for 1.5 days now ( was in hospital four days and three nights this is standard for my surgeon) Yesterday I felt find with minimal pain and I was woke out of a dead sleep with intense pain - I've been crying all morning it hurts so bad- I also ended up getting my period the day after surgery- and my surgeon required a bowel prep the day before surgery so I'm still constantly having to go number 2 . Hot flashes galore as well- I'm 27 and my surgery weight was 223 if that matters - did anyone else get worse as the days went on ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Here's a picture - the drain area is just that the drain sight then the belly button to the side of it and under my breast where they moved my liver are the actual incision sites they used in surgery- I'm feeling like there may have been a possibility that more gas was put into me to blow up my stomach since less incisions were used ?

I never even got wisdom teeth to have them out so this was my legit first time- I told the nurse I was nervous and she asked if I wanted a "cocktail" so I wouldn't be nervous and I said sure - I don't even remember being wheeled back to the or next thing I remember is waking up and then telling me I was done- I was on a hydromorphine drip for a day and a half and then went to norco didn't feel a thing and the worst that happened to me was a head ache from the anesthesia that wouldn't go away- I'm only five days post op so this is all very fresh for me- I haven't touched any of the pain meds given to me in a script for take home because the pain is mild at best - I only notice it when trying to get up or sit down if I'm moving around or just sitting in pain free Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Military spouse here ! I'm on prime and I went to the base dr she gave me a referral and also had me meet with a nutritionist right away- that's best because it counts as your first diet visit - From what my surgeon said tricare likes to see 90 days of supervised diets for easy approval so I saw them twice and then had my surgery four days ago - I would reccommend loosing weight in the process SW:265 Month one: 253 Month two: 241 Surgery morning: 223 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Where is your main incision Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have three cuts and my drain I'm not sure what your big cut would be under your left breast Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes I'm thankful im still in the hospital - as much as I hate it the advice abdbstuff I need is right at my hands Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You can totally ask for for cocktail I told them I was real nervous and they asked if I wanted something to help me relax and o said absolutely! Like I said I don't remember going back last I remember is waking up- I haven't had any gas pain any only theee incisions - I think that has helped me a lot only have three instead of five - My doctor required three nights and four days in the hospital and I'm thankful for that you will need the break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Had mine yesterday 12/7 at 8am I was up walking the afternoon- they gave me the "cocktail" to take the nerves off and I don't even remember getting wheeled back last thing I remembered as waking up and they told me it was all done- I only had three small cuts instead of five . I was on hydromorphine for the first 26 hours after I had a shot of pain meds and am due for more in two hours and no pain yet I have been walking 1500 feet at a time every hours Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Tomorrow I will be getting sleeved- what should I bring to the hospital- from the basics all the way to the i would have had this but didn't Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did y'all have to do a bowel prep my surgery is in two days and I'm nervous as heck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm seriously so nervous for the bowel prep! My pre op diet is 28 days also 14 days of low carb/no carb and 14days liquid I've been doing two Protein shakes a day and some broth for the last 16 days Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Were y'all on a pain pump when you came out of surgery- my dr has you on a pain pump for the first day and I'm a little nervous for that Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sorry o didn't include it I'm 5'4" and I was 265 at my initial appointment in august- I'm currently 230 and surgery is next week I'm guessing with the liquid diet I'll be 225 by surgery - I'm hopeful to get around 140 when it's all said and done Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm a recovering addict- I've been clean for 7 years but I'm still very concerned with having narcotics I'm not trying to be a hero but I don't want to be under big pharma again Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon doesn't require me to be on all liquids at all- I was advised to have a Protein shake for Breakfast Greek yogurt with 1 oz nuts for snack 3 oz lean protein and unlimited non starchy veggies for lunch either 1 medium fruit or another shake for snack and 6 oz of lean protein and unlimited non starchy veggies for dinner if my second snack was a piece of fruit then I would need my second shake after dinner- I personally am picking to do the liquid diet because I feel the results are better for reductions to the liver- So I wouldn't really say inneed to re-evaluate myself - I ate one healthy meal over the last ten days-- Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have been on the Orr op diet now for 9 days- 3 Protein shakes a day and water- I cheated on day seven for one meal- I was 241 when I started the pre op diet and I've been sitting steady at 233 since I cheated but I haven't strayed since and won't before my surgery - ( surgery is December seventh ) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Dec 7th how are y'all doing on the liquid diet ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
