I had my surgery on the 28th. Apparently, I had a hiatal hernia and they repaired it too while they were doing the sleeve. Yesterday, I felt very nauseous so they did not discharge me yet. I am relieved though because it beats being home alone and nauseous. Trying to get all my liquids down today so I can leave this afternoon. So far it has not been that bad for me. The IV drips make you urinate a lot. But that's fine because every time I get up, I use it as an excuse to walk around. Walking makes you feel way better.

Just taking one day at a time. That's all we can do.

I had my RNY on the 28th too! I was sent home yesterday, I am walking as much as I can. I felt very sore yesterday, like I did an insane ab workout ????. It's getting better each day. So far no nausea. I've only been drinking Water and Isopure .

I have been sipping and walking all day. The most I have managed to get down was 32oz of Water with half a bottle of Isopure. I don't feel dehydrated, I am just paranoid that this is not enough fluids to keep me hydrated. Any suggestions on how to increase my liquid intake?

I had surgery Wednesday. I feel nauseous off and on, have gas pains, pain in my chest when I swallow. I had diarrhea from the gastrograffin I had to swallow for the upper gi. It hurts to drink- I know I have to otherwise I'll be in the Er. Any advice?

I also had mine on Tuesday. I was released on Wednesday and that second day was by far the worst. Naseous and throwing up. Naseous medicine helped. Now I'm day four and feel good! Gas pain in shoulder is finally gone / that was the most painful part. Trying hard to get liquids and Proteins in but that isn't easy. Overall, by day 4 everything is going pretty well.

@moni5854 things are moving along. I started full liquids today. I managed to drink about 3 oz of my Protein shake. I have found an easier ways to take the Ulcer meds my Dr Prescribed. It says to crush the pill, which makes a awful mess and is gritty. The nurse said I could swallow anything the size of a m&m or smaller. So I just cut the pill into 4s and it works just fine. I still haven't been able to sleep in my bed, I have been more comfortable on the sofa. Yesterday I tried to go with out pain medication, by 3pm I was hurting. So I broke down and took some. I was running a low grade fever on and off as well. Called the Dr and he said to increase my Water intake and if my temp continued to rise, I would need to go to the ER. Luckily it didn't! So today is my official 4th day post op and I am doing ok. Just taking a shower leaves me exhausted. Resting, walking and sipping are all I can do for now .

      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.
