Hello All 9/22 sleevers! I had my surgery at about 10:30AM and was discharged around 5:30PM. I have had some pain but I have pushed myself to walk quite a bit since being released because I want to get rid of the pain as quickly as possible. It was a struggle sipping Water and doing the breathing treatments to prevent pneumonia, but the nurses were surprised by how well I was walking around the hospital. I have also been peeing constantly (roughly every 15-30) mins so my sleep schedule is pretty messed up. My husband has been a great help. My apartment is on the 3rd floor and I had to climb 3 flights of stairs and had everyone worried, but it didn't even bother me because I was so focused on getting in the house before having an accident lol. I am able to go back to eating what I was eating on the liquid diet besides the Protein shakes starting the day after surgery. I missed my sugar-free popsicles today. How is everyone else recovering?

@@blackbenzjeep@yahoo.com my surgeon suggested I sip Water as much as I can and walk as much as I can. I had to walk 6 laps around the hospital floor before they would even discharge me the same day and I've been walking whenever I'm awake at home. My husband didn't want me outside just yet so I just walk in circles around my home for 20 mins each time. The more you walk, the easier your recovery because you are trying to get rid of all the gas in your stomach from surgery. Sipping helps before you walk because it helps you burp which pushes the gas out of you. Hope this helps and congrats on your new journey!

Band to Sleeve revision on the 2nd of Sept. so today is my post op day 22. I too had to climb stairs on the day I came home. I don't ever remember it lol, as I did everything in a daze that day. I had it done outpatient, check in at 5 am, surgery at 7am, released at 4 pm. Recovery has been good. Only tough day was the when I first woke up after surgery, and I felt like I got ran over by a truck or two or three. Day 2 I slept all day. Thanks for asking. :)

@ you're recovery sounds similar to mine. I literally felt like I had been stabbed and then run over by a truck. Today (my day after) I have been sleeping, sipping, doing breathing treatments and walking. I'm ver nauseous today and sore on my left side, but otherwise I'm ok. Did you have a lot of nausea? Thanks for responding!

No, but only because I told them that I have a history of being nauseous, motion sickness, car sickness, boat sickness, you name it hehe. What they did was prescribe me Ondansetron (dissolve in mouth tablets) so I took that every 4-6 hrs or as needed. It really really helped.

Tiff, have you tried the Scop Patches (put it behind the ear)? I just saw it in the thread and it reminded me what they gave me before I entered surgery. It was for nausea. Maybe that'll work better. Just a thought.

      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.
