2 days post op this morning caught my attention! Felt like a Mack truck ran over me last night. The air pockets moving about are not fun either! I've been very compliant with Bariatric Advantage post diet, a scoop of nectar and a scoop of crystals 3 x a day... And sipping Crystal Light all day. GasX strips once in awhile. Haven't needed the Pepcid AC yet. That's the worse part... crushing meds..my tongue all wacky tasting'! Good luck!'

Oops spoke to soon. Discharged and heading home (Flower Mound). And am now hurting in different areas. I think my insides are waking up, and letting me know it.

Just had surgery yesterday afternoon @ Forest Park Medical Center, Dallas. Was in my room @ 530pm... 600pm, I was given 2 flavors/2 bottles of Crystal Light and a bottled Water...and starting sipping sipping sipping... No nausea, no vomiting . I was off pain pump at 6am this morning, and just now, they removed IV liquids, I'm dressed, and walking to nurses station unassisted! Discharge is in the works! I just received a cheat sheet from Nuitrionist that says Clear Liquids day 1-7, full liquids (creamy Soups, strained, days 8-21, soft foods (shaved deli meats, canned tuna, fish, cottage cheeses, days 22-42. I think the hardest for me will be not chewing, and having to crush/ dissolve my meds... Yuk! Hang in there!!

I had my band removed because I was constantly having to unfill after a fill... Due to my sinus and allergies I would developed a mucus plug that kept me from getting breakfast and lunch down every day...constantly tossing at least one meal a day. So they would unfill the band a bit, and then I would have no restriction and felt like I could eat Big Mac....sooooo wasn't for me..
