At 4 or 5 days you will be getting rid of stuff in your bowels that was there before surgery. Once that's gone, it will turn from rabbit turds to cow pies because protein shakes.

Back in the day, we used to have baby feeding bowls you put hot water into the bottom of. Shame they don't seem to make them anymore, I think they would be perfect.🍝

I am 2 weeks out and every time I get on the scale the number is lower. Once or twice it's been the same, but never HIGHER! When has that ever happened in my life? Nearly never! What a wonderful Christmas miracle that has been made available to all of us so we can get started on a losing journey! I already barely remember the pain and discomfort and am now just looking forward to being cleared to work out. I never could have done this on my own and I'm just so grateful!!!!!!!!!!!

I had terrible acid reflux after my gastric sleeve on December 12th. Every time I'd swallow, I'd have to burp and then a radiating pain would occur across my back. My doc said it was very bad reflux and prescribed me Calafate 4x a day, in addition to the esomeperazol that I was already taking. The pain went away after 5 days...thank God! Talk to your doc about taking something for it because there is relief out there.

My wife stayed with me until about 5 pm and came back the next day around 9 am. It wasn't bad at all. The staff were great, but just keep in mind that it's a hospital and the 'squeaky wheel gets the grease' when you need something. They're busy and you won't exactly be a high priority (at least that's the way it seemed). Bring things to keep you occupied; iPad (don't forget the charger), books, music, etc. Or just enjoy the narcotic haze every 4-6 hours. 😵

The nurse at my docs office suggested it after 2 years of trying on my own

I had my surgery in April 2017, and have had to take omeprazole ever since. I can stop taking it for like a week, but then the acid in stomach comes up into my throat. It's awful. My dr says its normal but sometimes people choose to go back and get the full bypass done to get rid of the acid.

Also see if elevating your head when you sleep helps. Sometimes it does. An extra pillow or a wedge of some sort, maybe?
