We did it!!!!!!!! How freakin awesome are we!?????

My surgery went flawless. When I woke up I was sooooo nauseous but they gave me meds and eventually it subsided. I have been up walking a lot, but still sleeping a lot as the anesthesia wears off. Tomorrow as long as I do ok with Proteins and possible swallow test I should be ok to go home !!!! I still can't believe I finally did it. It was a long road to get here but I have had so much peace about this surgery

Ok time to go back to sleep lol sorry for the pain med induced wall of text above lol.

Hi everyone so it's 24 hours after my sleeve! I am so proud of myself for taking this step and opening up my future to more possibilities.

So, surgery went extremely well,I also had a hernia repaired, which he did at no extra charge. I love my Doc!

Upper chest gas , more burping than anything. VERY sore, slightly nauseous .

Should go home tomorrow

Hope you 19th sleepers are doing well

My surgery was schedule to be outpatient. I went back around 7:15 and was home by 3. Today, 24 hours out---I've gotten 32 oz of liquids in and 30 grams of Protein. Still sipping. I took a small nap this morning. I just got out of the shower and settled again. Thought I would take a nap, but I don't feel tired. I'm still dealing with trapped gas. It is all in my upper chest/shoulders. I thought it was gone, but I was wrong. I also have a pain with one of my incisions. It's like my stomach is so heavy, it's pulling it down (TMI). Stupid, hanging down stomach! Overall, things are okay.

Yay Colleen! I am about to get discharged and go home. I am pretty sore in one of my incision sites, but that is to be expected. I have been walking a lot. I only managed to get 4oz of Protein in today, but they only had me start late in the afternoon when they took me off IV's.

I have mixed feelings about going home lol. I have loved sleeping upright in the bed.

You aren't being a downer! Everyone goes through different things at different times. I have been home since last night, but today I feel horrible. The pain is really bad (gas pain) and I have neusea. I am taking so many pills- they hurt so bad when I take them. sleeping in my bed was MISERABLE, the hospital beds were much nicer where I could sleep sitting up. I am hoping I can get some better rest today while the kids are all in school. I hope you are feeling better today!

Whoops, I forgot to add my comment!

Now that it's been over 40 hours, things have really improved. I can move around a lot better and the nausea is gone although it feels like I was punched in the stomach with a baseball bat! I didn't get any prescription pain meds because they were too costly but the chewable Tylenol seems to be helping a little. I was able to drink and 11 ounce Protein Drink over the last six hours so that is progress too! I hope you all feel better soon and we all knew this wouldn't be easy but the rewards will be so amazing!

      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.
