I had my surgery on 4/4 and I have sailed through it. I had pain killers the first 2 days and that was it. I think resting a lot and walking in between helped me to do so well. Chap stick is a must and comfy clothes to go home in. Best wishes :)

A video of you with bed-head, in a hospital gown while high on painkillers would be fantastic ;-)

Bring a heat pad with you. It also helps with the gas pains. I slept with my electric heat pad on my abdomen or shoulder. Walking really does work! Good luck tomorrow

I am in the hospital surgery was 4 pm yesterday and I was recovery until 8 pm my surgery has been so easy that I almost don't believe I had it lol I had a Nausea patch placed behind my ear before surgery and have not felt nauseas yet. I'm a little tender when I get up or lay down but considering the facts this is nothing, I haven't had food since Friday or a drink since Sunday and its not nearly as bad as I thought :-)

I wish everyone has had the experience I have.

Just when I thought everything was going great i had the swallow test, first they said it was great and gave me some Water. 10 mon later the Iraq came in and told me there may be a small leak that I have to go back in 2 hours for another test. I am freaking out they won't even tell me what happens of it is a leak which scares me even more. Please pray for me

I have read that they have to go back in if there is a leak. So I will pray for you that it doesn't have a leak. Hang in there. Let us know.

Thank you so much for giving me some feedback. I hope I see 20 lbs gone soon ;-) my goal is to loose 93 so 20 in two weeks would be very motivational.

Don't get discouraged cuz I did :-( I was sleeved on 4/1, yesterday I was 2 weeks out n I weighted myself on Saturday n I only have lost 13lbs since surgery I was so disappointed (not to mention I stared my period on Saturday so I was kinda emotional) lol but hopefully I will start seeing more weight drop as other peeps have lost 20+ on their first 2 wks my journey has not been so. I hope once I'm off my period I will notice the difference. Also I started soft foods on Thursday so I think that's part of my stall :-(

      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.
