Had mine yesterday 12/7 at 8am

I was up walking the afternoon- they gave me the "cocktail" to take the nerves off and I don't even remember getting wheeled back last thing I remembered as waking up and they told me it was all done- I only had three small cuts instead of five . I was on hydromorphine for the first 26 hours after I had a shot of pain meds and am due for more in two hours and no pain yet I have been walking 1500 feet at a time every hours

I was sleeved on 12-5. Discharged on 12-7. My period came today. So far, I've felt very little nausea. I can take 15 ml of liquid hydrocodone every four hours but so far today I've only taken 2.5 ml. It just makes me too sleepy. The gas pain is a little uncomfortable. Incision pain isn't too bad, it feels tight where my big incision is. I have 5 incisions, one is from a hiatal hernia repair. I just constantly sip on something. I worry about becoming dehydrated. Sip, sip, sip & walk, walk, walk. ????

I had RNY on the 5th at 7:30am. I was discharged on the 6th at 4pm. Gas pains aren't really pain more like discomfort. My indications just started hurting today. I walk a lot more then I sit just because I had so much gas in me. And I burp... a ton! Other than that I feel myself getting better. I hurt in the morning when I wake up but once I start walking I feel better. I am much better then I thought I would be!

You can totally ask for for cocktail I told them I was real nervous and they asked if I wanted something to help me relax and o said absolutely! Like I said I don't remember going back last I remember is waking up- I haven't had any gas pain any only theee incisions - I think that has helped me a lot only have three instead of five -

My doctor required three nights and four days in the hospital and I'm thankful for that you will need the break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life

I like the idea of staying in the hospital for at least three days, just to feel more comfortable in case anything. My Dr requires a night stay

I was sleeved on the 1st so one week in. Surgery at 9am and out the door by 1pm! Incision pain is causing me to sleep on my back so bad sleep and back pain. Plus all the uncomfortable little aches and pains, dealing with stomach gas, exhaustion, tired of sipping...but I could not be happier!

Just liquid Tylenol at night. I'm mostly just being a baby because my recovery, so far, has been pretty uneventful. I was able to sleep on my side last night!!!

Yep, I'm a stomach sleeper too. Good luck with surgery on Monday! I have to say, I had a lot of fear about the procedure and first few days of recovery, but it really has been relatively easy. Exciting!

      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.
