carelabra 36 Posted May 28, 2016 My surgery was on the 25th. Vbg revision to roux en y. I just got out of the hospital today. 1 1/2 days without any type of liquid is tough. My swallow test showed no leaks so finally got to have liquids yesterday. I see what yall are saying now about not really wanting anything. Other than to wet my mouth I didn't want it. I also was hit with the gas pain...whoa! Wicked..but a gas-x strip did the trick. I'm feeling pretty good, and I haven't really needed the pain meds. It's still hard to get up and down, but getting easier as it goes. I also have to sit a minute or two before I stand to stave off the dizziness. First night back in my own bed will be interesting. Lol. I really got use to the adjustable bed in the hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carelabra 36 Posted May 29, 2016 Lol...true dat bigmoe99. It's the prilocec that my surgeon prescribed...have to break open the capsule and there are little small balls of medicine inside...they don't dissolve so it makes them hard to get down. Constantly picking them little suckers out of my teeth..lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigmoe99 33 Posted May 29, 2016 I just had to drink boost diabetic for 2 weeks 5 a day. Dropped a lot of weight in 2 weeks my surgery is in two days, glad I didn't have to take that stuff but my energy stores are low and any movement gets me tired.
