I only took my cell phone ,phone charger , change of clothes and tooth brush. Honestly the first day I was out of it mostly due to the morophine , the second day I brushed my teeth and washed up and was discharged early 3rd day . Oh you might want to take bedroom slippers since you will be waking a lot.

The first few days after surgery I had gas pain . The more I walked the better I dealt. my doctor had me up walking a few hours after surgery. To help with this

I lift weights in the gym four days a week. I have noticed since the sleeve surgery I have dramatically gotten a lot weaker. My major lifts suck as squat , bench and deadlift have almost dropped in half. I am down 40 pounds since July so I expected some strength loss but not this much has anyone experienced this?

I had surgery on July 1,2014 and that morning I weighed 293 lbs at the hospital.i now weigh 265 lbs so that's is 28lbs in 5 weeks. I lost an additional 10 lbs on the 2 week pre-op liquid diet.

I was told 64 oz per day . Anything you drink counts towards that total .

How is everyone doing . I started a walking program yesterday .i only walked about 10 minutes but it felt great to get outside.

Came home about 12pM today. Feeling pretty good . Just trying to get my clear fluids in to stay hydrated . First few days were rough I admit it ,but I am now just using Tylenol with codine to control the pain and it's seems to be doing the job. Taking one day at a time.

I was told I can not drive until I am off the pain meds.

Still can't believe this time tomorrow I will be in the hospital and would have had my surgery . Just a little nervous , due to the fact I am having surgery .i know I am doing right thing , I am just nervous about surgery .

I am finishing up my pre op diet tomorrow. Drink lots and lots of water . Try to stay busy when you get hungry . Most times I was not really hungry but just bored. Try to avoid going to parties of possible. I had to attend 2 birthday parties and a grad party the last two weeks. That was tough but I did it . It will go so quick , seemed like I just started my diet yesterday and today is day 14.

My doctor was very strict . I can only have crystal light and sugar free cool aid and of course water I can not even use creamer in my de caffeinated coffee .i was given a list of approved drinks by my doctor.

Made if through a birthday party and graduation party. It was hard but I did it. Just stayed away from food. Never realized how much time we spend eating .

Surg date of July 1,2014 so this is day 2 or preop diet. No been to bad so far , but I mentally feel like I have to eat food enough though I ann not very hungry.i have been drinking a ton of water so far and relying on crystal light .

Goid luck everyone . I just started my 2 week liquid pre op diet today.
