My surgery was scheduled at 1:30 but I didn't get taken back until after 3:00! Yes, it was hard but they did tell me I could take a small amount of water early morning of my surgery. Also, once they got my IV hooked up and started fluids it wasn't bad after they gave me my Ativan as my nerves were a little mess! Good Luck to you

Nsweety I am almost 4 weeks post op but I also had my gallbladder out and a hiatal hernia fixed! My larger incision is still very tender... I also drive bus but I drive the Charter Bus so thinking with all the twisting, turning and bouncing is why he has me off for do long! I'm already on lifting restricting due to an inguinal hernia...

My doctor has me off for 6 weeks

It worked wonders for me and hope it does the same for you! Good Luck with your surgery and just remember to walk, walk, walk....

Mtchick I could never eat a bite of gluten as it made me sicker then sick and wasn't worth the consequences! I've been gluten free for 15 years! When were you sleeved and what phase of the diet are you in? What recipes or ideas are you looking for?

My doctor had me get one pill of Emend (used for chemo patients) to help with nausea and vomiting the morning of my surgery! This pill was a lifesaver!!!! I never and to this day still have thrown up or got nauseated! If, you can say something to your doctor about this pill! I know everyone reacts differently to meds but this was a miracle medicine for me!! Good Luck to you all!

I will be 4 weeks post op on Monday and my large incision has been very painful for me! I just wonder when it will feel better as I go back to work in 2 weeks!

I have to eat gluten free so guess this will be a question for my dietician on Monday

In your 5th stage of soft/mushy ..... What cereals (non sugary) were you able to tolerate? I'm almost 4 weeks post op

I woke up this morning full of tears hoping to step on the scales for my weekly weigh and no weight loss! I'm 21 days post op today....I lost 28 pre op and 16 the first week and nothing the last two weeks

I'm on puréed currently and had to do this phase for week 2 & 3 post op! Next Monday soft/mushy foods I can't wait

I'm 3 weeks post op and my doctor required me to take 6 weeks off! I think it may depend what your job is and plus I had my gallbladder out and a hiatal hernia fixed at the same time as my sleeve.

I'd be curious to see what everyone says as I'm in the same host as you! I'm afraid to wash or brush my hair because my hair is falling out so fast and it's do thin! I'm hoping now that I started my vitamins and having more protein foods it will help

Has anyone got dehydrated after their surgery and had to go back to hospital? If so, what were your symptoms?

I was sleeved on Oct 7th and totally understand the emotional part! I'm snippy and people look at me the wrong way I just cry! I'm off work for 6 weeks and hoping it gets better before I go back to work!
