Surgery done! Help

[a_jap21 5]

Got my surgery done yesterday i am already going home but i was able to eat the whole chicken broth plus an apple juice is that normal?

Also what precautions should i have at home

For a lot of people liquid passes through the sleeve very quickly. It isn't until you hit purees and especially soft foods that you'll feel restriction.

What do you mean about precautions? I was told not to lift 10 lbs or more for 2 weeks and not to lift 20 lbs or more for four weeks. I was also told to nap as much as I felt like I wanted to but to be active otherwise. Is that the sort of thing you mean?

Be sure to drink your fluids and get your Protein (depending on when your doctor lets you have protein).

Did they not give you discharge instructions?

Take it slow... 80% of your stomache is gone and its sutured together..... Drink slow and don't push. Follow dr orders to a T

That is too bad. So much of this is a learning process. You should order the big gastric sleeve book. It has a lot of good info.

I have to say this a " must do movement" contact your Dr office now. Not open? Ask to have the on call Dr call you ASAP. Explain you either didn't get or really don't understand what to do now. It seems extreme but you should never have been sent home without Your Dr and hospital staff having provided you clear and direct instructions. All the best

My doctor was very specific about the amount of liquid going in! I'm only allowed 1oz of Fluid every fifteen minutes!
