Going home the same day would not have been an option for me. I barely woke up the day I had it (Dec.3) I hope you push to spend the night. It's a major surgery. They need to observe you and be certain that you can drink, walk and go to the bathroom.

I agree, definitely could not have gone home the same day either. Mine was Wednesday morning, December 3rd. Came home Thursday, took some pain meds, then headed off to an elementary school Christmas concert. Took doctors advice, sat in the back, and waited for everyone else to leave before I got up.

Sleeved December 8th. Doing well. Still a little sore. Ready to actually eat. I don't think I am hydrated enough. It's really hard to sip all day.

It is hard to sip all day BUT...... You do not want to get dehydrated! I didn't drink enough and had to go back to ER per Drs orders and get rehydrated. It set my recovery back a few days. Try some flavored water, broth helps me a lot. I know it's hard but you gotta do this.

Jolls says "straws are our friends" so if need be, I will ship away.

Anyone feeling the blues? I suddenly feel so sad, weird that my nervous excitement is gone.

Jolls, my emotions have been all over the place. Sad happy disgusted regret hyper. Saw the surgeon for my first post-op visit yesterday he said it's totally normal. My emotions are leveling out the farther out I get. I dumped the regret.

      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.
