_Kate_ 2,224 Posted October 25, 2015 Good luck and speedy recovery to everyone having their surgery! I didn't drive for four weeks. I had a great recovery but didn't realise how exhausted I would be and only really started feeling more energetic on week six. Everyone is different though, so just see how you go and listen to your body and take heed to what it's telling you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

itstimealready 180 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) Clear liquids today. Darn it, I didn't search for iso-pure clear Protein drinks ahead of time! Neither my grocery store nor the pharmacy had them so I guess it's just tea and Water for me today. I don't want to have any sugar like Popsicles because it'll make me starving! it's always easier for me to fast then to do anything moderate. ha ha but ouch the detox headache is severe. Already packed so not much to do but lounge anyway. Counting down the hours! By this time tomorrow I'll be recovering. Weeeeee!

itstimealready 180 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Safe and sound at home. No complications or pain just couldn't sleep at the hospital from all that waking me up every two hours. Edited October 28, 2015 by itstimealready Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Live42day 8 Posted October 29, 2015 I had my surgery Monday. Came home today. Pain has been fine, except for a couple coughing fits that were quite painful. My doctors diet calls for Clear Liquids, specifically 50/50 Water and juice or Gatorade/Powerade. No nausea or problems getting the liquids down. I was afraid to start taking my regular meds when I got home, but my BP was creeping up. I had 3 to take so I spaced them out and so far no problem getting them down. Kind of tired, but I figure getting some calories in will probably help with that. Plan to try to start some supplements tomorrow. Hope everyone else that had surgery this week is doing well.

I am glad to hear you are not in pain! I am hoping to get the sleeve in december and it is great to hear about your experience. I will be looking forward to your posts and hope you have a speedy recovery! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
