One week post surgery. Was in the hospital for two days - no visitors of course- and was discharged on Wednesday. While in the hospital, I slept the first day with regular vital checks and dr visits. I had a cpap machine issued to me the Thursday before Monday surgery and it was awful. I discovered that I hate anything on my face and my unit was the least invasive. I plan on returning the machine this Wednesday as it’s next to my Bariatric dr office. Feeling good and looking forward to moving to the next food stage. Still have pain when I cough or sneeze - esp with one of the incisions. So glad to have finally gotten the surgery since all has been on hold.· 1 reply

Did you have to have a companion stay with you the whole time or can someone drop off and pick you up ?

Does anybody have any good book recommendations to read pre-op? I’m like 6 months away, but I want to be as prepared as I possibly can for what’s ahead, and how to make the most of this new tool that the doctor will be giving me.· 0 replies

"Leisure time" is getting more and more scarce lately as it seems somehow. Too often too tired from being on-call and I definitely need to start studying for my second board certification and there will be some rough times ahead I guess.· 1 reply
Going to bed soon. The work day after a 24 h shift always feels awful (like jet lag) so I better get to sleep soon to get my zzZZZzz in because I'm being on-call again tomorrow evening/night. Who else hates vacation time when half the department seems to be on holiday?
I have a follow-up appointment on Friday so I took Friday off. Also not working on the weekend and being on late shift next Monday. That means three days in a row without an alarm clock, lol.

Start liquid diet tomorrow, feeling nervous about caffeine withdrawal. I have drank coffee since age twelve, and never stop befored.· 3 replies

Hey there remember what your doing this for. You will eventually be able to drink caffeine again and it will be tastier than ever when you do. It's worth the wait!

I was in the same boat. I would drink between 40-60 ounces of coffee a day. I knew I couldn't quit cold turkey so I cut down to one 8 ounce cup a morning. It gets me through and I'm not craving anymore. Never really had any withdrawals.

Also, the Cafe Latte premier protein shake does have a small amount of caffeine in it. That could help.
