I'm one week out this coming Tuesday. I have 5 incisions with 2 appearing to inflict the most pain. My second midline incision was a bit swollen and purple but it has gone down significantly. I'm not afraid to eat, I'm afraid eat the wrong foods.

Hi, Had my GS on May 26 as well. How are you managing?

Because of the weight loss through the pre op diet it is expected that there will be some weight loss... I don't believe they count that weight loss.

Thank God! I'm 4 days post & feel as though I'm always starving... To the point of tears. My husband is almost no help, and teases me regularly. I thought he'd be more hands on since he took 3 weeks off for my surgery. I'm just praying to God to help me to stay on the right path. I feel weak and vulnerable at this point.

Hi, My post op hospital diet was every hour on the hour: 2oz water, 2oz sugar free Gelatin, 1oz Crystal Light, 2oz sugar free popsicle, 2oz sugar free Gelatin, 1oz Beef Broth, 1oz chicken broth, 2oz sugar free Propel, 2oz sugar free Gelatin, 2oz sugar free popsicle, 1oz chicken broth, 1oz Beef Broth, 2oz sugar free popsicle, 1oz sugar free Gelatin, 2oz sugar free popsicle, 2oz water. I guess the broth is the protein. My menu doesn't reflect protein until day 8. I've gone from 254 pre op, to 235 post op.

Congratulations everyone! I'm 3 days post surgery, and I hope I'm as successful as you guys!

Congratulations! I'm 3 days out!

Congratulations!

Hello, I had my gastric sleeve on the same day, and I too experience the headaches and over all malaise. Also, after swallowing I have some sharp stomach pain that goes away quickly. I gave up caffeine 2 weeks before my surgery, and am not due to start protein until next week.
