confusedturtle3 246 Posted November 22, 2017 Yesterday I had my surgery, the first few hours were rough. Nausea from the anesthesia was rough and the gas pains were no joke. I tried to walk a few minutes every hour from about 5 hours out of surgery on and it helped. My surgeon is against using gas-x so I was not allowed to use mine. I passed the barium swallow and now I need 3 consecutive hours of drinking and keeping down 4 oz of either Water, broth, crystal light or Protein Drink. So far so good [emoji6]Have a great day!Amanda [emoji16]HW 248 CW 241 SW ?Surgery Date: 11/21/2017.

I'd be happy to share some advice! 1) It's really important to consume as much liquid (and protein) as you can after surgery. Stay on top of Water and Protein Shake consumption every hour, even though you may feel like sleeping all day. 2) Follow your doctor's plan very closely. That's what matters most. 3 JCKlgl123, Lina McNally and SeaSounders♥ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meghan.morotini 19 Posted December 1, 2017 Got sleeved today!! I had the absolute best OR staff, the last thing i remember before anesthesia is one of the nurses saying you are in really great hands which really relaxed me. Im also very thankful for IV pain medicine. I've been up and walking around as much as I can tolerate. I was only allowed ice chips today that have made me feel sick lately, so I'm nervous for Protein Shakes tomorrow. Also, I don't recommend hiccups the day of surgery [emoji23]Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Lina McNally reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
