Engelyn 42 Posted January 13, 2018 VSGnewguy we had surgery the same day. I am wondering if you were released today as well? And also if you have gas pain? How much Water were you able to drink today? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGnewguy 164 Posted January 13, 2018 VSGnewguy we had surgery the same day. I am wondering if you were released today as well? And also if you have gas pain? How much Water were you able to drink today? Yes, was released this afternoon. Good pain meds have definitely worn off. Lol.Have been sipping all day but didn't track. I will start tracking tomorrow. I can say that getting in the fluids is tougher than I expected. How about you?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Engelyn 42 Posted January 13, 2018 Yes, getting in the Fluid is very difficult, this morning still causing waves of slight nausea each sip. I am right now just trying to get in the meds that I need, blood thinner and Miralax both dissolved in Water, then need to take Pepcid and will have to wash it down because that flavor is nasty in the chewable. Seems so silly to struggle over a glass of Water when during prep-op I was chugging up to 100oz a day. Last night pain was manageable, I took the provided pain meds, liquid acetaminophen, but it gave me nightmares I could not escape from so I do not want to take it again. 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
