Thanks, I'll look for them! Robyn

What do you add to your broth to make it taste better? It tastes awful for me! Blah!! Robyn

Wow still in that much pain? I am mostly just sore. Able to do all the walking I can tolerate, and get up/down with little/no issues. We've been to the mall, to Walmart, walked around the neighborhood. I haven't always looked great (pjs mostly bc my stomach is so swollen I can't get on jeans, and they hurt my incisions), but I don't care. I hope you feel better soon! Robyn

Oh and I was sleeved the same day as you! Robyn

I can sleep on my right side with no issues. It's my left side I can't even think about sleeping on! Robyn

If you don't mind saying! :-) Robyn

Look great! What was your starting weight? Robyn

You swallow this "shot" of barium & stand in front of an X-ray type machine & they watch the liquid go down. Easy. Now I did throw up after (just the barium), but the nurse said that was common.

Except yourself which is a CHORE!!! Lol

I've been wearing sports bras too!! My hands/arms aren't swollen, just my stomach!!

Wow that's crazy! I had one the next day. When is your follow up visit? I have heard people had them there too. Robyn

Sounds like me except I had to stay an extra day bc of bleeding! I hope you continue to recover as easily. I still have the gas pain/bubbles when I drink. Just keep walking! :-) Robyn

Sorry I am alone & bored tonight! When did you notice the swelling from all the iv meds, etc go away? I go back to work Wednesday & at this rate I won't fit in my work pants!! I am drinking at least 48 oz of Clear liquids a day (sometimes more, if I can tolerate it), and peeing/having bm fine. Thanks! Robyn

I am 5 ft 2, started at 218 (when I first went to the dr), weighed 208 at the hospital on admittance. I want to lose 60-70 lbs. Robyn

You look great!! :-) Robyn

I know I can have sf popsicles, but next week (all liquids, only on clear now) does that mean I can have sf fudgesicles? Thanks! Sleeved 9/4 by Dr. Kim in Dallas! Robyn

Just take it as you feel pain. I take it 1-3 times a day. I was sleeved 9/4.

I was also sleeved 9/4, but I haven't had too much nausea. Just in the hospital mostly. I did have some tonight, but I was very exhausted, we went to the mall to walk (it was 106° outside), and I think it really wore me out! I came home & slept 2 hours, woke up bc I was thirsty, and all the sudden got über nauseous. I feel better now that I am drinking again, maybe it was bc I had been drinking all day (water & crystal light), and stopped so suddenly? I hope it goes away!! Robyn

I was released Thursday & I have had diarrhea at least 1 time a day since. Do you think it's just from the anesthesia? I am able to get in my liquids just fine, no issues. Also my Vitamins & b12. Been taking the Prilosec they prescribed. No pain meds since 3 am (yay!), or nausea meds since last night (another yay!). Up at 7 this morning, watched tv, took a 2 hour nap, watched a movie, took a shower, dried & straightened my hair, read part of a book & going to go walk at the mall (bc it's 104° here today, yuck!!). So what do you think the diarrhea is from? :-( I don't feel bad when it happens. Robyn

Oh no! I hope you heal quickly!! Robyn

Mine makes weird noises, and sometimes it's like I have to burp, but it doesn't quite get all the way there. That hurts! Robyn

They gave me pain meds plenty of times, anytime I asked really. Also nausea medicine. I get very nauseous from anesthesia, and warned ahead of time. I had zofran every 6 hours for the first 24 hours I would say! Wednesday wasn't as bad, threw up twice (minimal amount, about 1 tbsp, was from the barium swallow test). They said lots get sick from that. I am mostly just sore. Walking around fine, no issues. I don't like having the "have to burp feeling" bc it hurts! Robyn
