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.

Sky looked like Santa Barbara tonight . Great success to you. :)

I was hoping to be released early tomorrow, but doc said it would be early evening because after the leak test they have to monitor how I tolerate liquids.

They are so sweet here. The nurse ordered a sandwich for my hubby without us even asking after he decided to spend the night and brought him a nice fluffy blanket and pillows.

I mentioned I had a slight headache, After checking my BP, which was normal, the nurse called an on duty doctor who came in asked me a few questions, and prescribed something for my headache to be added to IV. This all happened in 10-15 mins, unbelievable I was a little nervous about surgery in PVR, but all is good

I did, they gave me one when I got to the hospital and sent me home with a few more. I get bad motion sickness, so I guess when this patch wears off I’ll see what happens. Thank you very much.
Yes I can barely see my phone too! Or read or work. Kinda sucks. But it's from the scopalamine patch.. it dilates your pupils like they do at the eye doctor and makes things blurry. I can see the tv fine and if I take my glasses off I can read up close. But I'm so bored ! Haha

I’m walking laps too, feeling good. I’m waiting for the next leak test. From what I’m gathering I won’t be released until my doctor’s pm rounds and that was about 7 last night. Not complaining, so thankful all is well and all is well with my surgery twins !❤️💜🧡

      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.
