Headed Home And Nervous
Spent 2 nights in the hospital after surgery. Day 2 was rougher than day1 but I'm already off pain Meds. Maybe when I get home ill be sore again. I confused myself on how much water I should be drinking. I have small 30 milliliter shot cup. Would 15 minutes for that b about right? That's an ounce. Any help is appreciated

Day 2 Post Op
Hey there...had surgery yesterday at 10:15am. Haven't had any naseua or anything. Very little incision pain, just tightness on my tummy, not a lot of gas pain surprisingly. Walked 3 times yesterday 15 minutes each. And did a 20 minute walk already this morning. Got dressed, cleaned up and just sitting around the room. Have to stay again tonight but feel I could go today. Haven't drank or ate yet so still have to see how that goes here soon. My doctor doesn't do the swallow test, that's prolly why she keeps her patients 2 nights. Have the drain in still but can't tell its there. No problem going to the bathroom, no catheter used which was nice. Hope fellow sleevers from yesterday are doing well.

Pre-Op Liquid Diet
You are on the exact one I'm on but I was allowed cream soups, strained. That was my Savior. I drank 3 protein shakes a day also and ate sugar free pudding. It hasn't been bad. I've lost 22 pounds and I'm on day 12. Good luck
