I had heart burn yesterday. The MD on call called in some powder nexium and I tell you I feel better and I am able to drink more liquids. Yesterday I started on the bariatric chewable vitamin. Last night I got off the bed the wrong way not once but twice and I was in so much pain. I am sore today.

I really expected to be in lots of pain after surgery but I wasn't . They gave me a b-12 shot ,morphin, decadron, reglan, they applied a transcope patch and a couple of other things I do not remember. The only problem I had was my BP was way low and they kept me in recovery 3 hours , they started me on taradol ?on spelling. In the recovery room. They told me if I followed the diet to the "T" I would have less complication and pain.. Btw I have 6 incisions and 1 is the one that hurts.. Each and everyone's body is different. So take all the time to heal and get to the point of no pain. If we try to hard and move faster then our bodies are ready to heal .. we might end up hurting ourselves..

I gained 10lbs in the hospital and this morning I had lost the 10 plus 3 more lbs (2days later). I guess we are all doing great..

Just wondering how everyone manages to get in and out of bed without pain.

Ok that is what I am doing. Rolling to the edge of the bed and then try and slide off. R u slepping on your side? I am with a big body pillow to elevate my body just a little.

I tried some jello and I started with dry heaves. The MD said I can do clear liquids and jello x1 wk. I know that I have only drank about 20 oz today. I hope I can do at least 30oz today.

Thank you . I know I will not be sore for too long..

I am being discharged in about 15 or. 20 minutes. Now it is time to go home for my new life. phase 1 liquid for 1 wk..

The pain isn't bad. When it hurts the most was trying to get Off and on the hospital bed. And when I did the sprimometry it made Me cough and get pain.

I have arrived at the hospital and in a room with my hospital gown on. Now waiting for all the pre-op prep. Please pray for all of us that are having surgery today.

I am finally in my room recovering, in pain (a 6) but glad to start my new life in the losers bench.

Ok I am the only one getting sleeved today. I am the first one the surgery roster.

R u ready....all I know is that I am scared but waiting for a positive outcome... Dear God please let us go thru this surgery with no incidents. Please guide the hands of the surgeon and all those that will be participating in this surgery. Please keep us safe may our surgery and recovery be quick and pain free. Thank you and AMEN...

I will be sleeved tomorrow as well. Already registered, just waiting to pick up meds for after discharge and waiting for the scheduled time to be at the hospital.. good luck to everyone.

I am pre-op and having the same issues. I am wondering now if my eyes will get worse after surgery. Grrrr.

I am finally getting sleeved on Wed. Hope you are doing well....

I finally was cleared to continue to have surgery on Wed. I am a little scared of the unknown the pain, nausea, vomiting... Buyers remorse....All I can do is pray and Leave it in Gods hands. Tomorrow I go for my pre-op appts. I start at 8:30 and my last appt is at 2:00.... Keep me posted when you can.. I will try and do the same..

Praying for each and everyone that is having surgery today.
