Has anyone developed a annoying cough? I dont cough anything up just can't get it under control.

The drain is more of a hassle than anything else. I will have mine in for about 9 days and my husband drains it for me. I haven't used much of my pain meds because it taste awful but the pain hasn't been that bad. Good luck!!

How soon was it when you got to eat scramble eggs?? I'm 6 days out and am dying for something with taste lol

I was told that Earths Best and Targets brand baby food. That gerbers taste awful.

Did your rib area hurt to? I'm 5 days out and have the drain and have heartburn and my rib hurts but im sure its just from the surgery.

Thank you I will look into that.

I was sleeved on the 18th and it hasn't been the easiest ride but mostly has to do to the nurses NOT doing what my doctor put in the orders. So when I got a migraine they let me suffer for a day and 1/2 instead of giving me my meds like instructed. But I am home now and I have a few questions for some of you. Did anyone else come home with their JP drain still in and then go back in a week to have it removed? And for the 1st week I am on clear liquids but I'm supposed to get 60 grams of protein my broth has 0 grams any ideas. Thanks and good luck to everyone.

I'm here ready to go in

No but I have had colon cancer and after all those drinks and test that one isn't to bad lol. Thanks for your help

What kind of colon cleanse did you do? My doctor didn't tell me to do on but I did mag citrate today.

I go in tomorrow at 5:45 am Im starting to get nervous now. I am disappointed in myself because the last few days I haven't done that great on the per op diet. Did anyone else not follow it to the T and still do OK? I have lost 10-12 lbs and 11 1/2 inches and my bmi was 35 to start with. I just hope I didn't screw this up I really want this done.

Don't discouraged I didn't show any weight loss until today and I have only lost 7 lbs and I'm on day 7. It all kinda happened overnight for me. I know that is not much but my Dr didn't seem to worried about me loosing much weight before surgery. Good luck and keep your head up.
