Thank you all this helps a lot!

That is confusing, so are you just going to do pills then?

Thank you Macy that helps a lot!!!

My surgeon is amazing please don't get me wrong. However, I feel like he gave vague instructions on what to do. His guideline, after hospital full liquids, skim milk, protein, sf Popsicles, strained soups, water water water, ect... Then he says 7-12 days post op puréed food, baby food, cottage cheese.... I know low cal, low carb but I'm not sure how many cal a day, how many carbs can I have a day. I don't know I'm so lost. I have a general idea of what I can eat, but I was hoping maybe y'all could help me. I want to be successful I need to lose 150-200 lbs!!! Like what foods are huge no no's, I know the obvious fatty high cal/carb. Also I was told no pills for headaches, so today I had my first follow up and I asked him about the no no's and he said I can take pills, Tylenol, aleve, Advil ect also I can drink through a straw (when I've heard many on here say that their surgeons said no straws) that those no no's are for gastric bypass.... Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!!!!

Thank y'all ill deff try Gatorade, and drinking to keep hydrated. Thank you for the no no list!

There's a no no list?

I'm taking liquid hydro... They gave me heartburn med in a pill form.

I was just sleeved Aug 26th, I have a pounding headache... Am I able to take a few aleve?

How long before your incisions stopped hurting? Sometimes when I move it burns so bad. I have been walking but now gas pain in neck and shoulder. I have to sleep in a recliner. I know that 6mo-yr out so worth it. But I'm miserable right now, the liquid hydro is awful and short lived.

Can I compare my drs instructions with someone else

Thank yall

I did before I went to bed slept in recliner woke up in oober pain.

Thank you

Liquid hydro, I may need to! They gv my pain meds in the hospital every 2 hours and a stronger every 6

First night home can't sleep laying down, I woke up in so much pain it hurts to breathe. I know that in 6 mo a year it's totally worth it deff spirits are not down at all just Owwwwy
