Surgery went Great- Thank God!

It was yesterday, Nov 12th at 2:15pm and lasted approx 2 hrs.

Yesterday was very tuff on me... I was in a lot of pain and felt nauseous. I slept a lot and walked in the evening. Yesterday I could not have food or Water...

But today they are giving me ice chips... Water and a little serving of Protein Shake. My serving sizes are smaller than a shot glass - 1 every 15 mins.

My pain is much better today... and I have walked a few times. Warm plastic heating bags have been given to me to place on my tummy and a cold one for the back of my neck- And they help!

I was told that if I tolerate my fluids well I will be discharged this p.m.

Thanks Again... Good luck to all!!!

Congrats & Good Luck...

it's a great choice. In fact the nurse that attended me was sleeved 2 years ago and said it was the best choice out there... she went from 310 to 185 :) Sooooo inspiring!

I was sleeved on the 12th and released today also! Not a whole lot of pain...mostly just soreness in the left side of my abdomen. Also have a lot of crazy noises going on in my tummy! Lol

I've been able to tolerate a Protein Shake and some Soup so far today. Water isn't a problem thank goodness.

Glad you're doing well!

      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?

      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.
