I had surgery 5/8 and I've been doing great but for the last week I have no desire to eat or drink, and no hunger. I'm pushing through it with drinks and Protein shakes. Anyone else feeling this? -Jonathan 5/8/13 sleeve date

Thicker liquids are Greek yogart, sugar free pudding,, etc. -Jonathan 5/8/13 sleeve date

My doctor said no driving for a week after surgery. In addition to that I was still on Tylenol with Codeine....so no driving. Have your sister grab a hotel room close by. Good luck. -Jonathan 5/8/13 sleeve date

You will do great. The first 24 hours is the worst. After that each day builds on the previous. -Jonathan 5/8/13 sleeve date

Try Palmers cocoa firming skin butter, I picked up some and it does tighten skin up.

I was sleeved 5/8, similar pain...all gas from surgery. Call the doc is pain is accompanied by fever. Walk and sip and you will pull past this.

I was sleeved 5/8 at 430pm, went home exactly 24 hours later. I didn't have any additional hernia to repair or gall bladder to remove. The quicker you get home the more active you will be, the quicker you can recover. Good luck.

Sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk. I'm a May 8th sleeve and after the second day things picked up for me. Try a different protein, Crystal light lemonade or iced tea. This will pass soon...

In my experience the pre-op diet helped prepare for after the surgery. It's all about replacing habits with new habits. My pre op was Protein shakes and Protein Bars and one small dinner a day.

I woke up to the worst pain ever. I would hit the button on my morphine pump until I passed out then do it again. I told the recovery room nurse my pain was a 15/10. Amazingly the next day I stepped down and the next was on liquid pain meds I went home with. I was sleeved Wednesday the 8th and yesterday I went pain med free.

I was sleeved last Wednesday and I'm really bored already. My kids are keeping me busy though and are happy I'm home more. I haven't been sleeping the same since before surgery so I.have even more time being up early everyday.

Thanks, yes I got Zofran and didn't think about opening up the prilosec. Good tips.

Oh and they have me Prilosec but I'm scared to swallow a pill that size right now.
