Hi everyone. I had my surgery on Friday. It's been a bumpy ride since as I had a bad reaction to the anaesthetic plus the nurses didn't have a clue about the dietary needs of bariatric patients... but I'm on the mend thankfully. Finding it hard to get enough liquids in. I was told to have 200mls of various liquid meals/drinks 6 times a day but I'm lucky if I can manage 50mls 3 or 4 times a day. I'm getting a little more in each day though so I guess it's early days. What surprised me is that I've found that I can't tolerate milk at the moment which is a pain because the guidelines say to bulk everything up with milk powder.< /p>

Oh well, I'm just glad to be on this side of the op! My new lfe can finally get going

What a difference 2 weeks makes!

Starting to feel more like myself now. The only problem there is the temptation to progress post op diet too soon as you feel like you could handle more than just liquid. Weigh in this morning .... 4lbs since last week. That's a total of 17.5lbs since pre surgery and 26.5lbs from my heaviest weight!

Amazing

Hi Rox! It's me in Bako:) I'm still super gassy, and my BM's are liquidy and dark too.

There is no such thing as TMI on here! We need the honesty and the support!

I'm bloated too. Wonder when that will all get better?

Hi Geauxforit--- I was just thinking about you-- how are you feeling? Hope the nausea is better. THAT is my biggest fear about this surgery....

Hey everyone! Just started this thread for the post op octosleevers of 2012. I had my surgery yesterday and all is well. Gas pain is terrible but I've been walking around. Full Fluid dinner tonight. Sippin on my oh' date=' cream Soup and pudding. They saline locked my IV, catheter is out and I love walking around. Nausea and pain are so far under control. I'm giving myself 3 hours to finish this meal[/quote']

I am on the other side! Feeling pretty good and keeping fluids down. I spent on night at the hospital and had a four hour drive home. That was really tough. After a night of being home i feel great with minimal pain. I am down 10 pounds!

Just had all heart monitors taken off and did a few laps around the ward my room is in. Had my first 30mls of Fluid. H2O feel nice in the mouth.

Also, just told my father about surgery. He is a huge worrier so I thought that it would be best to tell him once I was safely out of surgery. He was proud of me and said I was brave I am.

Thanks for asking, Dana. I'm still struggling with extreme nausea. However I'm headed home today with both Zofran and Phenergan, and I'm hoping against hope one or both will do the trick.

Such a HORRIBLE FEELING. I just hope I can't make the drive home without vomiting. :/

Hi everyone! I had my surgery on the 9th, and am down 16 lbs! The Protein Shakes taste different to me than preop, so I'm glad I kept some of the ones I thought I wouldn't like. Doing ok with everything, but the gas has been an issue. But getting easier every day. My mom has been here to help me, but I am looking forward to her going home and doing it myself. Just wanted to say hi!

[ms.mcbride1105 48]

Sipping and walking here! Still itchy but my hubby was extremely helpful and rubbed lotion on me...so that is helping a lot.

Met with surgeon earlier ...made me tear up when I thanked her for saving my life and for giving me such a gift.

Will be in the hospital till tomorrow.

I'm home now, but battling extreme nausea. I have both Phenergan and Zofran, but neither knock it out. I'm terrified bc I can't eat or drink much yet.

Every day you'll be able to sip more liquid, that's what I have found. Good luck and I hope the nausea ends soon!
