thinatheart13 69 Posted February 29, 2016 I'll be at the hospital at 7am. Not really nervous. Just hungry, the clear liquid diet is horrible. But I've lost 3 pounds in one day so that's a plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashleyt26 13 Posted March 1, 2016 My surgery went well. No complications, I've been able to sip about 10 oz of Water in about 3 and a half hours. I haven't taken any oral pain med since being moved to a room. I've been burping like crazy though. I might actually be able to go home.

vclark03 8 Posted March 1, 2016 My surgery went smoothly but I am in a great deal of pain. Nothing to eat or drink today for me. I have an upper gi at 5 am to make sure there is no leak. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thinatheart13 69 Posted March 1, 2016 Wow Ashleyt26 that is great progress! You Are So Lucky. My recovery is just OK. I have found my one saving grace tonight tho. Doing laps around the surgery unit. Helps with the gas build so much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashleyt26 13 Posted March 1, 2016 Walking definitely helps with the gas, I also noticed when I would take a small sip of Water I would burp which helped as well. As of this morning all my gas pain in gone. My largest incision is a lot more tender today than yesterday. And I have decided taking crushed Vitamins is really nasty, but so far I've been able to keep everything down. I also slept almost all night, with a few exceptions of having to use the restroom.

thinatheart13 69 Posted March 2, 2016 Who's still in the hosptial struggling to get fluids down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bellalover 43 Posted March 2, 2016 I struggled yesterday, so they kept me an extra day. Should be going home shortly. Definitely didn't enjoy the pain and nausea, but today has been good so far! Congratulations everyone!!! Sent from my iPhone using BariatricPal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vclark03 8 Posted March 3, 2016 I am home. The drastic difference in pain I had the past two days is crazy! I'm finally passing gas. I think I did pretty good with getting fluids in. Not 64 Oz though. I'm definitely gonna try harder tomorrow. But I am definitely still very weak. How people go to work like a week after surgery beats me. I'm taking 5 weeks off.
