Well I did it! Post-Op recovery now... its been about 20 hours since I got out of surgery.... the incision pain is minimal to none, what hurts is the gas!!!! Lots of walking, hubby was also patting my back earlier and it seemed to move the gas up... anyone else going through it soon? Or has done it recently, how are you feeling?

Hi! I am Patti from PA and my date is March 19! I am on Clear Liquids drinks, bar Snacks and a small Protein dinner. The liquid Proteins are gagging! So far Isopure seems to have the least aftertaste. Has anyone else found anything good?

Jennifer, how bad was the pain when you woke up? I was told they wanted me walking within 1-2 hours after I wake up. Keep us posed when you get home. I am nervous about the pain when you are not on the pain pump.

I am so happy everyone seems to be coming through with flying colors!

Was sleeved on 1st. Had worse gas pain in my left shoulder first day, but it really wasn't bad. I was out patient and have done great! Still feeling the gas in my shoulder. Was told it could last a couple weeks. It will eventually escape. I'm not on any pain meds and I feel great! Good luck!

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't posted. The second day was pretty bad for me. Not the pAin which is pretty minimal. The nausea overwhelmed me, I could barely function. The nurses were great and forced me to walk and walk to help relieve it but it was worse than I imagined. The gi series test was the worst part but it also showed I have no leaks and I could start liquids. Haven't been able to take much but a little more each day. I had a panic moment full of regret but that is a waste of energy. I'm focused on healing and getting stronger each day. Being home is the best medicine and my husband has been so amazing I could cry. Today is day 4 and for the first time the food tv commercials (who knew there were so many??) are not completely grossing me out. So just to recap, I had minimal pain right after and still don't have much. It's the naseaus feeling and weakness that I'm battling now. Any tips would be helpful...

Ohh noo at this point you have to be careful what you take. I would boil Water and humidify the crap out of your place.

I would go to your PCP. I am sure he could give you something to help. Don't take things on your own pre surgery.
