Did you stay overnight?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery at about 8:00 am and was home by 2 or 3:00 that afternoon. I was glad to be home. Yes, I was sore, but glad to be in my own chair and bed. I was sore for about a week but the more I walked the better I got.

Good luck to you

I had surgery at 1:30 p.m.; left hospital at 5:45 p.m. Took Loratab twice that night; liquid tylenol the next day, no pain meds since. I was driving on the 2nd day; went to group support meeting across the county by myself on day 4 post op. Was able to eat real food 11 days out. No pain, except a little where the port incision is. No restrictions on the part of my doctor.

Wow! Thanks for all the replies! It's amazing how different everyone's experience is. I think I'll ask him to let me stay over if possible, just to have a night without kids screaming and chasing each other around the house, lol. Did any of you have problems going up and down the stairs at all???

I had no problems with the stairs after surgery, but I was moving slow.

      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.
