Recommended Posts

Oh Sel, I will pray for you. Pain is kinda bad here but I have Dilaudid to take the edge off. Works meh. The car ride home was awful due to bumps. Still have major gas pain and not really getting rid of it. One thing that does help is walking, but if you have a bit of a belly, make sure it is supported from underneath.

Check in tmro so we know how ur doing. I hear that things start to improve on the third day maybe that will be our day.

Surgery went well! Pain immediately controlled in the recovery room. Just a little aching belly and extremely sleepy. Going to have my upper GI in about an hour. Please pray my liquids go down and stay down.

Good Morning! I had my sleeve yesterday and really for the most part I am feeling great! I was in a TON of pain in recovery after waking up but they managed it well. Dilulad has been my best friend and I have been taking it every 4 hours. I was walking the second I got to my room from recovery and now I just waiting to take my leak test! Plan to discharge sometime today!

Goodmorning ladies! We are officially here! I had two appointments yesterday with my surgeon whom I might add is flipping gorgeous! I also did my admission! So I ready have to be there at 0600 on Monday but I have to drop a HCG test off today are tomorrow so ladies all seems to be going smooth! The liquid diet was a challenge but we are almost there! We must post after surgery so we will all know that each other are ok!!!!! It has been a journey but 48 hours to our new sexy life!

Hello everyone; couldn't checkin yesterday but I wanted to let everyone know that surgery went very well... virtually no pain after surgery ; just a couple gas pains here and there and just a little sore in the area where the drain is, but overall, I feel great! I pray everyone else is doing fine...please check in when you're able to!

Hey everyone! I was in no pain yesterday or today after surgery. The pain mess did their job until the car ride home. Since I've been home, I've experienced some pain and discomfort. The Gas-X strips helped a lot!

I hope tomorrow is better..... I get to start Protein Drinks tomorrow so hopefully I'll have more energy.

How's everyone doing this evening?

Still in the hospital because my heart rate is elevated....doc was all set to send we home then I got up to use the bathroom & it sky rocketed to 160. Pain has been minimal. Just gas pain from the air blown in during surgery. Started on Gas-X strips today to get things moving. Hoping to go home tomorrow.

I got home today!! I did spend an extra night in the hospital because they did the leak test so late and it really set me back. I was very happy with the extra night since I have 3 kids at home. Overall things are going great, except I am having a REALLY hard time drinking anything as it all hurts going down. Hopefully that will change soon as I really do not want to get dehydrated!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
