I've tried everything. The last thing I did try for lunch was the My bariatric.com choc. pudding. I'm going to wait until monday to call. It's rather annoying...Took my effexor and went for a walk with my daughter this afternoon! So, feeling better!

Hey everyone! I know its been a few days....not feeling 100% at all. Stayed 2 days, had a fever, and very low bp. Pain is very manageable. I had dilauded for 3 days. I now feel like i have the DT'S! LOL. My head is soooo foggy still. Everything i put into my sleeve, it cramps like crazy!! Just one more note for those of you who had to find out the hard way like I did...if you have to "toot", make sure you are on-the-toilet!!

Had mine yesterday too! I also have cramping in the sleeve. Waiting for my swollow test! Headed back to dream land!

My meds are kicking my butt! I posted the same thing 3 times in a different forum? Pfft having some sleeve cramping on and off. But other that (and being sleepy) Im feeling pretty darn good! Thanks for all the support and prayers! Xoxo

Doing really well so far. Have had a PCA for pain. They wont let me even eat ice chips until the swallow test, (wich is supossed to be this AM), so i've just rinsing and spitting. Retaining alot of water today. My Dr said 1 more night tonight. As for gas?...very little so far! Ttyl guys! My eyes are getting heavy! Xo Annemarie

Will try and keep everyone posted. Feeling pretty good. I took a zanax so I could sleep last night!

If it continues, I would call your Dr./Nurse. Maybe a warm bath will help?

Did you have those inflatable leg thingies on while in the hosp?

You can change it up to raw spinich if you like it, with raw veggies. I alos put some protien on there, such as turkey or chicken. And drink lots of water! Good luck!!

Vicki...So is mine!!! Good luck! I will add you as a friend?

Congratulations!!! Sounds like you are doing a great job!! Keep it going!!!

Welcome Dana!! Yes, you will find LOTS of info on here. Good luck with everything. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, because i'm sure it will def be answered here! (or if you need to vent) lol!! Good luck! Annemarie

Thanks for all the advice! The hospital called a little while age to tell me I need to be there by 5:45 am monday morning!! cant wait! I was talking to a friend of mine who had GBP, and she said I BETTER walk every hour and a half!!! lol! I'm going to do all liquids for the next 2 days!

Roxy...I feel your pain!!! I'm also sched for monday the 7th, and I'M STARVING! I have a headache and i'm crabby! I'm so nervous, yet want it to be over. I lost the 5% i was supposed to...but ugh. I have SO cheated. We WILL get through this! I need to call tomorrow for my surg time. Excited, yet very nervous. I took 6 weeks off due to the nature of my job. I cant wait to go back to work, the skinny person I was 12 yrs ago when I started. (i know it wont happen all at once). Good luck, lets keep in touch! Annemarie

Good luck! Safe recovery!

Glad to hear everyone is doing SO well!!! I go in on Monday, and for the past 2 days, ive been nervous, sick to my stomach, and crabby (nerves)! Ive had plenty of surgeries, its not like ive never gone under before, so I dont know what the problem is here...Today is my last day at work (i generally have every fri, sat, sun off). I hope the day goes by FAST. I need to be out of here!!

Viki147, I am also May 7th! Good luck!
