This morning has been kind of tough. The nausea and pain are braking through from time to time and that is frustrating but it's normal too. I just need to ride this part out.

How is everyone doing?

Came home about 12pM today. Feeling pretty good . Just trying to get my clear fluids in to stay hydrated . First few days were rough I admit it ,but I am now just using Tylenol with codine to control the pain and it's seems to be doing the job. Taking one day at a time.

Hello to.my fellow july 1st sleevers we made it!!! hoping all is well as far as my experience i was sleeved and had a hiatial hernia repair and i had a lipoma removal that was on my ribcage so far ive threwed up in the hospital until last night the pain meds and me not being able to tolarate anesthesia... blah! bad combo! Only on plain tylenol, pain is not as bad as i tought just being nauseated its the worst for me my csections were more painful than this im home now discharged at 2 pm now sipping on liquid as much as i can and lil sleepy hope again everyone is doing good well keep updating soon

I'm home now, too. Today has been kind of rough day in terms of not feeling great. I think the anesthesia finally being gone from my body has left me feeling extra sensitive. However, I am able to get in five oz of Water an hour, so I"m thankful for that!

Hang in there, everyone, we're on our way!

I'm burping up a storm! Every tiny sip I take makes my insides gurgle and tighten. I guess the gas x strips help a little... This hiatal hernia repair is really getting to me, makes it hard to get in and out of bed. I'm taking the tiniest sips every 15 minutes, and then I start with the crazy gurgling and burping all over again. Hope it starts to calm down soon so I can do a better job at hydrating.

I'm the same! Suffering real bad with gas pains still which is causing me not to get much Fluid in at all! I've managed to get down about 50ml today but that's it!!

Hi everyone. It's truly a relief to hear that everything I'm going through its normal. No matter what I knew in advance its still hard. I also had a hernia repaired and its killing me getting up and down. It feels similar to when I had my gallbladder out. Every sip comes with so much gurgling.

As far as driving goes, I was told it would be discussed at the two week post op appointment. May be a little while.

I'm starving! I'm so tired of this liquid diet. Has anyone started creamed Soups or yogurt yet?

On starving too! I'm so tired of liquids. Wishing I was 3 weeks out so I can eat cottage cheese or scrambled eggs.< /p>

[Pugmadkate 61]

I ate two ounces of yogurt this morning, two ounces of broth for lunch, and will have two ounces of pudding before bed. Other than that it's all Water or Protein Water, all the time!

Today is a better day. Yesterday I was really feeling "buyers remorse" but today seems brighter somehow. I think it helps tremendously to be out of the hospital and back in my own home/bed.

I'm on the same boat consuming two ounces at a time.

[Diana8185 9]

Also 2 ounces at a time today. pudding and creamy Soup went down great. Also had buyers remorse yesterday but today I'm getting my energy back and more variety of food has made a difference. Happy I made this choice for my health.

I managed to have 60ml (2oz) of drinking yoghurt for Breakfast today! And I had a hydralite ice block for morning tea which is 62mls! Going to try and get as much Protein Shake into me for lunch today, and I'm having cream of chicken Soup for dinner!

I've lost 9 kilos in total so far! Before my 2 week pre op diet I was 108, and I'm now 99!! I got down to 105 before surgery, so I've lost 6 kilos in the last 3-4 days which seems really dramatic!
