honeybunz 139 Posted September 16, 2014 It's so surreal. I checked in this morning at 9:15 and had surgery at 11:15. Came out of surgery in a lot of pain and nauseated. Once I got hooked up to the pain pump and got a dose of zofran I felt really good except I have been so very tired from the anesthesia. I am up and walking with almost no pain. My doctor allows ice chips thankfully because my mouth is really dry. Tomorrow morning I have another leak test (he does one in the OR) and then on clear liquids. Hopefully all goes well because I really want to go home! Once home I'm allowed to start on full liquids. I hope everyone else's surgery's went well today! This is my first time on because I've been so tired and my eyes would not cooperate. Good luck to all those waiting!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honeybunz 139 Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks everybody!! I had my leak test this morning and everything looks good. They now have started me on Clear Liquids. So far all is good. They took out my catheter but I'm still getting fluids thru iv cause I'm a little dehydrated. Hopefully I can pee later cause I really want to go home to my babies!!! Will update later! Take care all!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honeybunz 139 Posted September 19, 2014 Just had my sleeve done Monday to feeling great just confused on how to eat any recommendations new at all this just joinedIt is confusing right now. I try to make sure I get my Water and Protein Shakes and whatever else I feel like I can get down (I'm on full liquids so cream of whatever with skim milk, greek yogurt with skim milk, cream of wheat with skim milk, sf Jello, pudding, Popsicle). It's really hard tho because while I'm hungry (or feel hungry) I don't want to eat. Can't wait to get past all the initial food stages. GL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
