Less than 24 hours post op I feel great. No pain. I finally got some gas relief. But I have coughed one of my incisions open. What I thought was as pain is actually swelling where they placed my port. My shoulder stopped hurting!!!!! I did figure out that if I sip sip sip I won't have the urge to cough. I wish I would have figured that out 12 hours ago..

I haven't had any coughing but I did have some broth that made me feel like my stomach was bloating and hurt a bit. Took a longer walk and that helped. Right now my incisions and a persistent headache are the pain sources but they are bearable. Of course the morphine helps :)

I haven't had anything to eat. I have powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup. I will try that without the noodles. What with the headache? I have noticed that I don't have the ire to pee anymore..... I'm usually the potty master.

Hahahaha. I am surprised how much I've been peeing in comparison w my intake, tho I'm also hooked to an IV.

With the Unjury be careful not to heat the Water past 140 degrees. I ignored that b/c I didn't want warm liquid, I wanted hot and it got totally funky and had to throw it away.

Yesterday I was peeing IV Fluid. I've had about 4 ounces of Fluid since I've been home and two pop sickles.

Mine isn't yet but they just gave me a lozenge that helped. The inside of my lip is all really raw and swollen from where the breathing tube was taped. Think it was pressing my lip into my tooth. Ah well.

Does anyone else have to keep a food diary? I have to take it with me to my first appointment. I'm fine with that it olds me accountable for my new lifestyle.

I don't have to - but I prefer to. I use myfitnesspal app and if you go to their full website on a computer you can print out your daily entries.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
