Today is post op day 4. I had surgery wednesday. Anywho. I am doing good. Passing gas. Walking. Showering myself. EXCEPT not getting enough liquids down to go home. And I want to go home to my daughters. I know that if I go home the way I am I will be back her next day from dehyration. Just need words of encouragement. Also how much can u drink before u cant drink nemore 30ml? Then goe long do u wait to try again? I have a routine. I nap, wake up drink a bit, toilet, breathing exercises, walk, drink a lil more then Im tired again.

I'm on day 6 and I have been home since day two. Day three I was home with my two kids alone.they are six and one. I truly think being home helped me recover faster. I moved around more and slowly I regained my strength and my ability to drink more. Today I drank my first Protein Shake. Day six is awesome! God bless and I hope u come home fast to them. But also this is for u..and later for them.

Well to be honest I just fake sips here and there...from day two to day five. I can't believe I was able to drink this shake this morning.I was so excited then I pretty much cleaned my whole house and took care of three little girls this morning. (My niece slept over).how ironic is that! I really hated being in the hospital..people were walking in n out all the time I never slept. So from start to now I started at 259 and today I am 235. This includes the two week prior. I lost 10 lbs since being home. So day by day sip by sip..

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
