Hi, You are going to do great! I was sleeved on Tuesday feel the best today. Each day gets better that should be your mnatra during the times when you are feeling great and asking yourself "OMG what have I done?" Listen to your doctor. And stay hydrated as best you can sip sip sip. Baby yourself.

My best advice? Sip, sip, sip - walk, walk, walk. Walking not only helps you feel better, it aids healing and prevents blood clots.

:cheer2:Ditto on sip sip sip, walk walk walk. Also it helped me to have a child's sippy cup at home for drinking. It was hard for me to regulate my sips at first and I had trouble getting in fluids but the sippy cup helped. Also make sure to have those sugar free popsicles. Best of luck to you!

Something I found useful was to get rid of all tempting foods from the house.... and stock up on things I knew would be ok my my post op diet.

It made me feel great knowing that there was nothing 'calling ' to me.... apart from the fact I wasn't hungry....

You'll be great, just take it easy and do the sippy Water and walking....but you'll feel on cloud 9 at having got the op over and done with finally...... nothing really feels better than that, and each day you'll feel better and better.

Good luck

As others have mentioned walk as much as you can. I am 2 days post op and actually taking care of my 19 month old. I can not lift her but my husband changes her diapers and puts her in the high chair for me so I can feed her. I do get tired and sleepy after a while and I will go lay down for a bit.

One other thing is to drink your Protein through out the day. It will help you heal and burn fat not muscle.

Best of luck to you!

congratulations, i just say know that you are having major surgery and give yourself time to heal. Be good to yourself, the very best thing you can do is get up and walk right away, and i got some of the little cups from the hospital and sip sip sipk so walk sip and rest. Your body will need time to heal and this is a great gift you are giving yourself. I suggest taking chap stix with you , best of luck jeani
