I'm shocked at how quickly I've progressed.

No pain meds since 5 am. Very little pain.

I'm ready to go home. Lol

I never pushed the iv pain meds while in the hospital. The nurse would push it after she said your not using your pain meds. She would say you’ve paid for them since it is in iv Fluid so no refunds. I quit taking pain meds after I got home. Only took them the day of surgery and the next day. Once I got home I really didn’t feel I needed them.

Gees, I hope I have that same "problem!" Nice to know what is possible. I envisioned pumping the morphine every 15 minutes. Have they had you up and walking a lot? Appreciate your sharing!

I got up and walked and walked. My first time around the hospital floor I did either 3 or 4 laps. The next time I added 1 or 2 more laps to those. Felt good to be up instead of laying in the bed.

Im glad to hear you’re doing good. I’m 3 days post op. I’ve been good since I came home yesterday. After surgery and the day after were the worst. I’m good and keeping the liquid and Protein down.

That's great!! I had a 4 hr recovery because of the band to sleeve revisionand then home last Thursday. However, take it easy. I went back to work yesterday and was exhausted afterwards. Today was much better.

Yes I got up about every hour and a half to two hours and did a few laps. It helps!
