I had pain and nausea in recovery. They quickly fixed that. That same night I had very little pain. The next day I was agitated. I wasn't taking pain medication. The doctor told me to take it. So he gave me an IV medication. Then a few hours later sleeping medication. I sleep like a baby and woke up feeling great. I took the Vicodin before having the drain removed. I am 5 days post op and not in pain at all.

I read your date wrong. Sorry

My doctor doesn't want us to take calcium till 30 days out. My surgery is 8/25 but I have already started taking Bariatric Advantage calcium. I will stop taking them next weekend. 4 days before surgery. I like the flavor.

My surgery date is also 8/25. Good luck to both of you.

I am RNY pre-op I am Two weeks from today. 8-25. My pre-op diet is just 1200 calories until two days before surgery then liquid for two days. I am finally getting close.

Good luck and don't forget to let us know how it went!

I think it's part of the process. Just trying to find out if you really want it. Not really but it seems that way.

Midtown sunshine! I want to put a schedule on my phones alarms to remind me of when to take my pills and drink my protein and water. I think I am going to need help. I think I need a get up and walk on it too.

Niki15 how long after surgery till you got to eat soft foods?

Lacchellove- you are getting all your protein and water in?

Hope you both are doing well!

How exciting! I wish you luck. It's so close till your surgery. Are you on a pre-op diet?

So glad you finally got what you wanted! Too bad you had to do both!

Sounds like things are getting better! Glad to hear it!

Since this is the 10th of August there must be a few people why have had their surgery. Just wondering how everyone is doing. I am scheduled for the 25th.
