Does anyone sit there trying to get your water in and smelling food from what others are eating? 2 days post op and the smell makes me want food.....back to my water [emoji849] Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

One of my sutures has bled. How are you all taking care of the holes? Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Sipping my water. Trying to stay moving. Gas pains every now and then. How are you feeling? Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

2 days post OP. Happy to be in med last night and able to sleep more than a couple of hours before someone is coming in your room for something. My stomach is one big bruise. I'm easily getting in my fluids. Each day gets better Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

This clear liquid is not great. Nothing after midnight tonight and surgery isn't until 2:15 pm. Crazy but I'm pushing thru. I've done so much laundry. Netflix is my friend. I need to try and sleep to make the time pass Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm home now. Gas has gotten better Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm good. Battling the gas pains. I can definately meet my water intake. Even want more water. That's hard. Next hour I advance to 4 oz an hour Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Leaving for the hospital in about 20 minutes. I will see you I'm able to feel like getting online! Good luck to all having/had surgery today Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Good luck to you too! Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I did not have that service. I dont know how many that day but my dr said between the 2 of them, they do 8 on Tuesdays. I'm not really so nervous. I was before but as I got closer, I talked to others and my dr and I was calmed. Im hoping for overnight and out but I wont push it if I need another day. Im in NJ.

Thank you. I was looking at getting it. Thought it may help. If I order now, I'll have it for after surgery Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

What brand of abdominal compression do you recommend ? Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 51 and surgery Tuesday. I should've done this years ago but moving forward and not looking back. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm trying to put together what I will need in the hospital and what I will need when I get home. I'm going to the store tonight for some sugar free jello, popsicles, protein water, broth. I trying to figure out what else I will need. I'm afraid I will be forgetting something. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Good idea! Thanks Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Would chicken broth work the same? Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have chewable gasx. I have tylenol and dry shampoo. I bought myself a wedge pillow thinking that will help. My dr says I will be in overnight and as long as I'm getting in my water, I can go home next day. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

What should I bring to the hospital? Dr says as long as I'm doing good with water, I can go home the next day. Send all you good vibes, I can use them! Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

It's great you haven't has much pain. How long are you in the hospital for? What did you bring with you that you really needed and that you really didn't need? I'm making my bag up this weekend and want to be prepared but not bring crazy stuff Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hope all is good. I met with my surgeon for the last time before surgery on the 15th. Now I wait for surgery and try to keep myself calm and not too nervous. I know I've read it before but what did you take to the hospital with you? I'm anticipating one night. All depends on my water intake. Thanks again for all the help and support I've received on this forum Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I go in on the 15th. I also keep having second thoughts. I guess it's normal. Good luck to you and I'll catch you on the losers bench soon Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh I am a bundle of nerves. Normally nothing comes between me and sleep but I've been up once 3:30 am. I'm going for my preop testing tonight. I have an appt with surgeon monday afternoon. The 14th I start clear liquids. I've been doing 2 protein shakes a day with a small lunch to prep me. According to dr and insurance, I'm only scheduled for 1 night in the hospital.

So the count down begins. I'm nervous I've gained weight over the holiday. Next 3 weeks im going to try my hardest to be down before surgery. Anyone else having issues? I also still need to tell my mom what im doing. I just know telling her would open it up to other family members bring told. I dont care if they find out after the surgery. I just dont need opinions. My boyfriend says I need to let my mom know prior to surgery just in case. How about as im being wheeled into surgery? Lol all in all I'm like everyone else.....nervous about surgery but can't wait to start this part of my journey Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app
