Hi all! I’m a few hours post-op and all went excellent! Very slight pain, almost none. No nausea. I’m going to take a nap now, so more details later. Thanks for all the support! ❤️

Yep, you will be groggy til the anesthesia wears off. Getting up and walking soon will help a lot.

Woo hoo! I’m up walking and no pain. We’re both doing great. No sipping for me yet. I have to wait until tomorrow after the leak test.

They don't do those here unless there's a reason I guess?

I asked my surgeon and she said that they leak checked me right before closing me up.

Same here. My surgeon pumped some air into my sleeve to check for leaks before closing me up. I don't know what I would have done if I couldn't sip Water right after surgery as my mouth was soooo dry.

Keep sippin' n walkin' everyone.

So happy all the 27th gals are doing good!

I’ve been walking all over the floor I’m on and husband and I sat on a balcony and watched the sun set. Still no pain, but they put some pain meds in my IV, so that may be why

Are there 2 types of leak tests? They did one after surgery, but I can't have anything to drink until after the test in the morning. I didn’t understand the 2 leak test explanation. The doctor speaks very good English, but fast and my mind was a little foggy.

      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.
