I too got discharged today' date=' and Dr. says I am doing great! I was late getting in my room last night as my blood pressure was up. I had been in a bed from check in at 11am till 10:30 - 11pm so I asked my nurse how soon I could get up and walk. She helped me up and I was off walking loops around the nurses station. To all future sleevers pay close attention to the advice about walking! As long as you can tolerate it make sure you walk, and use your breathing thing to keep your lungs strong and clear! Walking made all the different in me recovering from gas pains. My Dr. Does a leak test while in OR and so I got ice chips once in my room. Thank GOD I also had no nausea. Coughing SUCKS though and now Im just sore, and incisions are sore as well. Good luck everyone!! It's worth it, and I wish you all the very best and keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers!! To all my fellow 27th sleevers WE MADE IT TO THE LOSERS BENCH!![/quote']

Yes

We made it to the losers bench!

I'm taking my first meal in and so far good doing laps around the nurses station is a must!!

If it wasn't for gas pain I'd wonder if I had the surgery because every things was really great!!

Doing pretty good today I think :) I've not had gas pain, been walking in the halls , had my swallow test (and no leaks yeah!!) and trying to get my liquids in. That's the hardest part, when the liquid hits my stomach it hurts or spasms. They said that's pretty normal the first few weeks. They did have to do a hiatal hernia repair that I didn't know I had but I'm all fixed up now :) Looks like I should get to go home this afternoon hopefully. Was sleeved yesterday :)

I can't imagine being on full liquids, but wow, great to here u guys moving right along. I am just grateful to be on the losers bench...I truly did t think this would happen...so,so happy!!!!!!

Day 3' date=' home from the hospital & seriously just wanna sleep uninterrupted for like 8 hours straight lol, not in pain really just sore. Hope that I can get in my liquids, so far sf Popsicles are the easiest to get down. Hope everyone else is doing ok!

I feel the exact same way. I wake up every hour. No position seems very comfortable. SF popsicles are the only thing i can get down too. But I'm so hungry lol.

Sleeved on 2/27; the first night was rough with post op nausea... I had problems with my blood pressure and heart rate. Got the whole cardiac work up but everything was fine. Walking is the best thing to help with gas pains...I was released yesterday and been doing well, still a little sore overall doing good.

Congrats! I too was sleeved on the 27th. I have never experienced any nausea, but had problems with my BP being high. I'm glad you made it home, and doing good. I am doing good too. Still sore, but gets better each day! Keeping you in my thoughts and players!

      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.
