Congrats!!! See you on the other side!!

Very encouraging! I'm almost 3 weeks preop but everything you said is so true.

Good luck!

Jennifer your story sounds identical to mine. I'm 8 days post op. My largest incision hurt for days. MUCH better now. I, too, decided to sleep in the recliner as the bed killed my abs. I also has a hernia repair. I had no clue I had a hiatal hernia. Go figure. Glad you're on the mend!!! Every day is better!!!!!

Those things are permanently off the list. There is no nutritional value in corn, noodles, rice potatoes, chips, taco shells for our small tummies. Protein first. It has more seity and will stick with you. Avocado is really fattening and to be eat very sparingly. Lettuce in salad fills tummy but not with what it needs-protein!!!

I'm too thru with this liquid diet.

So reading all of this came at the right time. I woke up and weighed and went up 1.2 lbs. I was sleeved 11 days ago. Maybe it's swelling? Either way I'll quit weighing.

Will do!!!! Good luck. Had mine 6 days ago and I feel great. Remember when you awaken that everyday gets better. Walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip!!

Congrats! Remember each day is better.

Wonderful news!

Ugh nausea is the worst. Walking does help but that isn't always what you want to do :-( hang in there it'll be better with each passing day.

Good Evening all! I had my surgery this morning. I awoke to great of gas pain, but no other pain. No nausea and no vomiting. Walking is definitely the key. I have walked every hour on the hours since 2 hours after surgery. I have even managed to finished off two 20 oz bottles of Water and 16.9 oz bottle of propel zero!!! Feeling great. They just weighed me and I'm up 7 lbs from all the Fluid. It just means I'm not dehydrated!! :-). Good luck to the rest of you!!!

You got this!! Trust and believe.

Me too, Rain drop!!!!!

Me too, Rain drop!!!!!

I'm glad he was able to do it!

You'll walk no worried. The first time up you'll be shaky but then you'll be shocked at how well you can walk and how good it makes you feel. Good luck.

I had mine yesterday too. They also found a hiatal hernia on me and repaired it. Yesterday was off and on rough. I'd do great and then be in pain. Today I have a constant nagging headache but am happy to be home. I, too, got intermediate sleep between blood work, checking vitals and Helprin shots. Meds make me the pain go away but make me feel hungover and yucky.

Thank you!!! Just awoke to blood test then doc will come in and I should be released to home!! Woohoo!!
