I'm still at hospital Last night my bladder stopped working and I blew veins left and right Docs sure suppose to make rounds in 20 minutes. So hopefully I can go home today. I'm still trying to figure out how I got a black eye, busted lip and rash all over my face lol.

Getting ready to head home! Surgery went well. Also had two hernias repaired while he was in there. Last night was horrible due to gas pain around my heart. They ended up doing an EKG to make sure it was only gas pains. I've been walking and now I'm enjoying my clear liquid lunch. Can't wait for the IV to be removed so I can get dressed and go! Hope everyone did well!

Oh goodness, I would be wondering as well. Sounds like you were in a fight:) I sure it was worth it though.

I came home last night after my surgery but I'm in terrible pain and very nauseated. Everytime I take a sip I want to through up. What kind of pain mess are you all taking?

Hey y'all! I had a hernia too! Lol! So random because it didn't show up on upper GI. He repaired it though.

I'll be here one more night - doc wants me drinking more. My drinking got off to a slow start because my throat hurt. From being intubated. Anyone else intubated? And why didn't I know that I was going to be intubated until seconds before? I had seen them do it on fat dr but wasn't expecting it. That ish hurt so bad!

Anyways, still have my IV. Drinking health wise fruity Protein shakes, broth and water/ice chips.

Looking forward to going home!!!

I will be discharged with Percocet and Ativan and lesvin i think, for throat spasms. And reglan for nausea.

I haven't thrown up but sometimes I want to.

Hi all, sounds like everyone is headed home. I will be here for two more nights and fly home on Thursday. Just sipping Water and Isopure. Should be getting some broth soon...yum.

And guess what??? I had a hernia too. They repaired it and took pictures of the hernia and stomach before and after. They emailed them to me so now I have a pic of my new stomach....lol

Glad all of you are doing good, considering the trauma to the body. Time to start the next chapter of our stories ????????

I had hyital repair aslo. I'm glad to hear everyone seems to being good. I wish I could have stayed in the hospital later because I would probably still be on the intravenous meds. All they sent me home with for pain is Tramodal...really doesn't help much, just makes me sleepy. My incision areas are very soar. They said all I'm experiencing is normal......but it seems like you all aren't going through the same pain as me.

I'm just sore all over. Incisions don't hurt though. Are you sore all over just from the trauma of the surgery?

I am still on IV and they took me off morphine drip and gave me Lortab, but that made me sick to my stomach, so now I've been given liquid Tylenol. My incisions and body is sore and I think everyone gets that thing down their throat. That's sore, too. Lol. I guess it all goes with the program... nothing but room temp Water for me at this point. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I'll be discharged probably early afternoon.

I've been staying up to the minute with my pain meds. If I get off track, I do feel pain. My small incisions don't bother me, the bigger one is starting to cause some discomfort. Yes my throat hurts as well. I have been able to eat Jello, drink Water and broth today. I walked the halls at least 5 times. The worst part for me is this drip they have me on. It makes me have to urinate ALL day. Super annoying, they just decreased it for me. I hope they send me home with some good meds bc I hate pain. Right now I'm on a liquid med called hycet.

Same here with the urinating all day. It's a hassle because they have to disconnect my IV each time. But I'm glad for it though bc the lady next to me hasn't been able to go since she got here today whereas I was begging to go as soon as I got in from recovery yesterday!

      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.
